I have problem with resolution in ET.
I have normal 800 x 600 resolution in Wolfenstain ET but I want have 1024x768 in ET and allways I change resolution (800 x 600) to this resolution (1024 x 768), but when I exit from the game and return to it, the resolution is changed from 1024 x 768 to 800 x 600, so i must agein set it manual. It is boring:/
Help me please…
There are a couple of solutions for this bug, my favourite:
create a file with notepad in your ET folder and name it et.bat
put this in it :
del /s profile.pid
et.exe %1 %2 %3 %4
Now create a shortcut on your desktop to this file or adjust your current one to point at it. Use this one to start ET from now on.
If you use a server browser like All Seeing Eye you have to point them to this file as well.
hi,
create a file called “autoexec.cfg” (make sure it’s not autoexec.cfg.txt) and place it in “C:\Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\etmain” or wherever your game is (that’s where it is by default).
now add this to the file:
set r_mode 6
that will make sure your game is always at 1024x768. if it doesn’t take effect the first time you restart the game, open the console with the “~” key and type “vid_restart” then press enter.
from an Enemy Territory FAQ:
If you keep losing your settings, and/or notice sometimes that the the startup window shows (check.com crashed) beside the text, then it’s probably because of a error in the way ET handles mods. Basically each time you run ET it creates “profile.pid” in your profile folder, and sometimes this file doesnt get deleted when ET is closed, especially when you have been playing a mod. The result is ET detects the file and presumes that last time it crashed, so it resets most of the configuration to default settings.
See here if you want plenty of detail.
This means to fix it you can keep deleting the .pid file, but there’s also a simple preventative workaround, which is to make ET redo the settings again automatically (with the method given below, you need to set it up while ET is already setup properly). I much prefer the workaround.
When you have the game setup how you like it, open up ET/etmain/profiles/yourprofile/ and copy the file called “etconfig.cfg”. Rename the copy to “settings.cfg” and place in the “etmain” subfolder. Now, edit the autoexec.cfg file (notepad or preferably wordpad). If there isnt already this file in “etmain” then make a new .txt document using notepad and rename it to autoexec.cfg (make sure its not .txt.cfg). Now simply open it and enter “exec settings.cfg”, without any quotes.
When you run the game, it automatically runs autoexec.cfg, so everytime you run ET it should now reload all your settings from this file. However it’s important to note that if you make any changes to your game configuration you will have to set that in settings.cfg file aswell, or it may overwrite it next time you run ET. If you are comfortable with .cfg configuration files it may be better to simply put the settings you changed into settings.cfg. .
Thanks all for answers. I use the autoexec.cfg solution and it’s works.
Thank u ouroboro.
Yeah good job ouroboro 
There is more than just r_mode that gets changed though like gamma and intensity and stuff like that (iirc) but it’s a valable solution. Or do you need a vid_restart everytime? That would suck.
i dont anyway, and i basically have what ouroboro said plus a few more settings in there.
yeh, i have quite a complex array of files and my stuff is always how i want it even if i get a profile.pid file generated (seems to happen whenever i switch between etmain and etpro), but i was trying to explain it as simply as i could since he seemed new to the game.
i actually only exec other cfg’s with my autoexec, but it don’t really matter
i forgot the slash before /vid_retsart tho, lol. hope he wasn’t saying it over and over in a game and scratching his head…
