Deer Hunter 2004 - Widescreen support

[CallmeBK]

Would it be possible to develop a widescreen patch for this game? It looks like one was made for Deer Hunter 2005 but I couldn't find one for Deer Hunter 2004.

I stumbled upon your guide and checked to see if I could follow the same steps as Lego Racers 2. It was pretty obvious where the resolution values were in the DH2004.EXE file, but they had no effect on the game.

Did you ever expand on the tutorial for using scanners/debuggers and going that route?

I also tried to look into what was changed in the Deer Hunter 2005 files, and I couldnt really understand what the values were that were changed. They didn't seem like aspect ratios, fov, or resolution values.

Update:

I figured out how to adjust fov. Hfov is 60 and vfov is 45 and I found their addresses. I'm enjoying this actually.

In the Deer Hunter 2005 widescreen fix, the adjustment that was made to allow for additional resolutions was changing a float value parameter in a function called getdisplaymodes. But that function doesn't seem to exist in DH2004.exe. I'm getting close though. The function that calls getdisplaymodes is in both DH 2004 and DH 2005 so maybe my answer is in that parent function.
