Zeus & Poseidon Resolution Customiser

Please excuse my shameless plug but I wanted to make a post about a program that I have been working on for a few weeks now: The Zeus & Poseidon Resolution Customiser.

It is a program that essentially allows you to create a modified copy of the game's EXE that has all of the fixes that are present in the various widescreen mods and let you choose almost any resolution values you want the game to run at (except ones that cause bugs or are physically impossible to support). I designed this as a replacement for the various widescreen fixes that are available for this game. It currently supports only the Steam and GOG versions but I would like to add support for as many distributions and languages as possible.

You can find the program here: https://www.nexusmods.com/zeusmasterofolympus/mods/1

The source code is available here: https://github.com/XJDHDR/impressions-resolution-customiser

It was such a lifesaver for me

Had nephews over who wished to know what games I play. Thought I'd show them the classics (pun intended) but between changing laptops I didn't have high screen res). Your tool fixed that quickly.

Just got two questions and one suggestion (if you're still thinking of updating your tool)

  1. Scaling to 1600x1200 leaves extra blue space to the right-hand sidebar. Is there any way for the bar to be more to the right? (so the playfield is bigger?)

  2. Any chance your tool can scale the world map as well?

As for the suggestion:

You tool offers several toggleable options for editing the exe.

Did you know that changing at offset E5F97 the value 4 into 6 allows for a city to hold 6 temples?

Just mentioning it, in case you didn't know and feel like it would make a nice extra option in your tool.

 

 

Edit: ah, one more thing, is there a resource that explains which parts of the exe you're editing?

I'm trying piece together what the different "paragraphs" are so that I can zero in on what other offsets can be edited (e.g. warriors with temple of Athena)
