|
resolution x
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
:Type: integer
|
|
:Range: > 0
|
|
:Default: 800
|
|
|
|
This setting determines the horizontal resolution of the OpenMW game window.
|
|
Larger values produce more detailed images within the constraints of your graphics hardware,
|
|
but may reduce the frame rate.
|
|
|
|
The window resolution can be selected from a menu of common screen sizes
|
|
in the Video tab of the Video Panel of the Options menu, or in the Graphics tab of the OpenMW Launcher.
|
|
The horizontal resolution can also be set to a custom value in the Graphics tab of the OpenMW Launcher.
|
|
|
|
resolution y
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
:Type: integer
|
|
:Range: > 0
|
|
:Default: 600
|
|
|
|
This setting determines the vertical resolution of the OpenMW game window.
|
|
Larger values produce more detailed images within the constraints of your graphics hardware,
|
|
but may reduce the frame rate.
|
|
|
|
The window resolution can be selected from a menu of common screen sizes
|
|
in the Video tab of the Video Panel of the Options menu, or in the Graphics tab of the OpenMW Launcher.
|
|
The vertical resolution can also be set to a custom value in the Graphics tab of the OpenMW Launcher.
|
|
|
|
fullscreen
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
:Type: boolean
|
|
:Range: True/False
|
|
:Default: False
|
|
|
|
This setting determines whether the entire screen is used for the specified resolution.
|
|
|
|
This setting can be toggled in game using the Fullscreen button in the Video tab of the Video panel in the Options menu.
|
|
It can also be toggled with the Full Screen check box in the Graphics tab of the OpenMW Launcher.
|
|
|
|
screen
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
:Type: integer
|
|
:Range: >= 0
|
|
:Default: 0
|
|
|
|
This setting determines which screen the game will open on in multi-monitor configurations.
|
|
This setting is particularly important when the fullscreen setting is true,
|
|
since this is the only way to control which screen is used,
|
|
but it can also be used to control which screen a normal window or a borderless window opens on as well.
|
|
The screens are numbered in increasing order, beginning with 0.
|
|
|
|
This setting can be selected from a pull down menu in the Graphics tab of the OpenMW Launcher,
|
|
but cannot be changed during game play.
|
|
|
|
minimize on focus loss
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
:Type: boolean
|
|
:Range: True/False
|
|
:Default: True
|
|
|
|
Minimize the OpenMW window if it loses cursor focus. This setting is primarily useful for single screen configurations,
|
|
so that the OpenMW screen in full screen mode can be minimized
|
|
when the operating system regains control of the mouse and keyboard.
|
|
On multiple screen configurations, disabling this option makes it easier to switch between screens while playing OpenMW.
|
|
|
|
.. Note::
|
|
A minimized game window consumes less system resources and produces less heat,
|
|
since the game does not need to render in minimized state.
|
|
It is therefore advisable to minimize the game during pauses
|
|
(either via use of this setting, or by minimizing the window manually).
|
|
|
|
This setting has no effect if the fullscreen setting is false.
|
|
|
|
Developer note: corresponds to SDL_HINT_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS.
|
|
|
|
This setting can only be configured by editing the settings configuration file.
|
|
|
|
window border
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
:Type: boolean
|
|
:Range: True/False
|
|
:Default: True
|
|
|
|
This setting determines whether there's an operating system border drawn around the OpenMW window.
|
|
If this setting is true, the window can be moved and resized with the operating system window controls.
|
|
If this setting is false, the window has no operating system border.
|
|
|
|
This setting has no effect if the fullscreen setting is true.
|
|
|
|
This setting can be toggled in game using the Window Border button
|
|
in the Video tab of the Video panel in the Options menu.
|
|
It can also be toggled with the Window Border check box in the OpenMW Launcher.
|
|
|
|
antialiasing
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
:Type: integer
|
|
:Range: 0, 2, 4, 8, 16
|
|
:Default: 0
|
|
|
|
This setting controls anti-aliasing. Anti-aliasing is a technique designed to improve the appearance of polygon edges,
|
|
so they do not appear to be "jagged".
|
|
Anti-aliasing can smooth these edges at the cost of a minor reduction in the frame rate.
|
|
A value of 0 disables anti-aliasing.
|
|
Other powers of two (e.g. 2, 4, 8, 16) are supported according to the capabilities of your graphics hardware.
|
|
Higher values do a better job of smoothing out the image but have a greater impact on frame rate.
|
|
|
|
This setting can be configured from a list of valid choices in the Graphics panel of the OpenMW Launcher,
|
|
but cannot be changed during game play
|
|
due to a technical limitation that may be addressed in a future version of OpenMW.
|
|
|
|
vsync
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
:Type: boolean
|
|
:Range: True/False
|
|
:Default: False
|
|
|
|
This setting determines whether frame draws are synchronized with the vertical refresh rate of your monitor.
|
|
Enabling this setting can reduce screen tearing,
|
|
a visual defect caused by updating the image buffer in the middle of a screen draw.
|
|
Enabling this option typically implies limiting the framerate to the refresh rate of your monitor,
|
|
but may also introduce additional delays caused by having to wait until the appropriate time
|
|
(the vertical blanking interval) to draw a frame, and a loss in mouse responsiveness known as 'input lag'.
|
|
|
|
This setting can be adjusted in game using the VSync button in the Video tab of the Video panel in the Options menu.
|
|
It can also be changed by toggling the Vertical Sync check box in the Graphics tab of the OpenMW Launcher.
|
|
|
|
framerate limit
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
:Type: floating point
|
|
:Range: >= 0.0
|
|
:Default: 300
|
|
|
|
This setting determines the maximum frame rate in frames per second.
|
|
If this setting is 0.0, the frame rate is unlimited.
|
|
|
|
There are several reasons to consider capping your frame rate,
|
|
especially if you're already experiencing a relatively high frame rate (greater than 60 frames per second).
|
|
Lower frame rates will consume less power and generate less heat and noise.
|
|
Frame rates above 60 frames per second rarely produce perceptible improvements in visual quality,
|
|
but may improve input responsiveness.
|
|
Capping the frame rate may in some situations reduce the perception of choppiness
|
|
(highly variable frame rates during game play) by lowering the peak frame rates.
|
|
|
|
This setting interacts with the vsync setting in the Video section
|
|
in the sense that enabling vertical sync limits the frame rate to the refresh rate of your monitor
|
|
(often 60 frames per second).
|
|
Choosing to limit the frame rate using this setting instead of vsync may reduce input lag
|
|
due to the game not having to wait for the vertical blanking interval.
|
|
|
|
contrast
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
:Type: floating point
|
|
:Range: > 0.0
|
|
:Default: 1.0
|
|
|
|
This setting controls the contrast correction for all video in the game.
|
|
|
|
This setting can only be configured by editing the settings configuration file.
|
|
It has been reported to not work on some Linux systems.
|
|
|
|
gamma
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
:Type: floating point
|
|
:Range: > 0.0
|
|
:Default: 1.0
|
|
|
|
This setting controls the gamma correction for all video in the game.
|
|
Gamma is an exponent that makes colors brighter if greater than 1.0 and darker if less than 1.0.
|
|
|
|
This setting can be changed in the Detail tab of the Video panel of the Options menu.
|
|
It has been reported to not work on some Linux systems,
|
|
and therefore the in-game setting in the Options menu has been disabled on Linux systems.
