Expanding the Editor window [Solved]

Post by ArcCaptain »

I'm having trouble expanding my Zero Editor window so i can edit the height of my command post region. I can get to X and Y on the palette, however Z is just outside the Editor window and i have no way to maximize or expand the editor window to get to it. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a way to solve it? :?

I don't fully understand your problem (screenshots?), do you mean parts of the UI are offscreen?
You can change the window size in the config.ini, but whether or not it'll help here I have no idea. You could always just use ZE hotkeys to move/rotate/scale your regions.

Thanks for the help, But i am completely new to modding Battlefront 2 or anygame so i have no idea what your talking about. when changing the capture region of a command post you can edit the height/size you change x,y,z depending on your wanted capture region, however only x and half of y are visible to me and dont know how to make the Editor window larger as putting the mouse/coursor over the bottom of the window and dragging does not.
I've tried changing the :quotes: windowHeight :quotes: in config.ini although it solves nothing. am i doing something wrong there? I increased it to 1024 which is the same as the windowWidth.

You can do a troubleshoot to make it full screen. Zeroeditor>right click>Troubleshoot compatibility.

You could just simply move the camera around until you can move the region.

There is no 1024 x 1024 resolution. Set those to your monitor's resolution, or something just below it.

That's directly from one of my config.ini files. I highlighted the width and height lines as an example of a working resolution, which I've set to be just a step or two below that of my monitor. The one I highlighted in blue is what you would set to 1 if you want to fill the entire window at whatever resolution you entered. Personally, I just don't maximize the window because I tend to tab out of the editor to check various things while I'm working.
