Resurrection Widescreen HUD Fix

By Lemmers

This guide will fix the stretched HUD on widescreen resolutions. This works best for 16:10, 16:9, 21:9, 48:10, and 48:9 displays, but has basic support for any resolution. It includes center screen HUD placement for Eyefinity and NV Surround super-widescreen displays and adds a customizable weapon draw distance, as well as many other features. This does not change any gameplay elements at all, only certain visual tweaks to make this a better experience on modern monitors.

This does not fix the stretched out menus or movies, but it is a huge improvement for the ingame HUD that was designed internally at 1024x768.

Installation

Download mediafire [dot] com/download/15o4siqpdijorpm (Current Version is 1.0)
Place the \Data\ folder into your \Steam\steamapps\common\Painkiller Resurrection\ directory
Open the folder that corresponds to your resolution, \16_9\ for example, and move this \Data\ folder into the same \steamapps\common\Painkiller Resurrection\ directory. These are resized textures (Boss Health, Startup Screen, Crossbow Scope) that have been properly scaled for each resolution.
Go to Options > HUD for easily accessible options. You can use this menu for most things, but certain things (like zoomed FOV) still require using the console or .ini edits.

‫

View the README file for more information.

Console Commands

These commands can also be changed by editing the config.ini, but nothing beats the flexibility of the console.

New Console Commands, listed with their default values.

WeaponFOV = -10 Weapon distance to camera, + or - Eyefinity = 0 Centers important HUD elements. 1=On, 0=Off EyefinityAdjust = 0 Fine-tunes HUD placement. Negative numbers push HUD out, positive pulls HUD in. Requires Eyefinity = 1 StakeFadeTime = 3600 Time in seconds for stakes and shurikens to fade. Default time is one hour. CrosshairSize = 0.75 Crosshair Size. 1=Full Size, 2=Double Size, 0.5=Half size PlayStartMovies = false Disables the three splash videos on startup PlayStartSound = true Enables the painkiller-mainlogo.wav on startup

Existing commands that are handy.

FOV = 110 (Changes the Field of Vision) HudSize = 0.5 (Changes the size of the HUD while constraining proportions)

New commands that require a restart to take effect. Useful to avoid .ini edits.

ZoomFOV = 60 Zoomed Weapon FOV

Changelog

Vers. 1.0

Initial release. These are the same base edits from my Black Edition mod, but updated for Resurrection.
Red Souls from mini-bosses are now rendered properly.
The compass icon will now always be the intended brown texture instead of randomly switching to the original silver arrow when you load a midgame save.
Removed the ugly "Homegrown" logo from level loading screens.

This game is still full of glitches, unoptimized levels with huge FPS lag, and tons of crashes. Because of all the crashes I was never able to finish the last two maps, but I have a feeling I'm not missing anything good.

If the link to this mod expires, just let me know and I'll re-up it. I'm using MediaFire because it doesn't require people to signup. Just don't click on one of the 50 fake download links, you know the drill.
