Redemption Widescreen HUD Fix

This guide will fix the stretched HUD on widescreen resolutions. This works best for 16:10, 16:9, 21:9, 48:10, and 48:9 displays, but has basic support for any resolution. It includes center screen HUD placement for Eyefinity and NV Surround super-widescreen displays and adds a customizable weapon draw distance, as well as many other features. This does not change any gameplay elements at all, only certain visual tweaks to make this a better experience on modern monitors.

This does not fix the stretched out menus or movies, but it is a huge improvement for the ingame HUD that was designed internally at 1024x768.

Installation

• Download mediafire [dot] com/download/hareopkfq15351a (Current Version is 1.0)
  
  
• Place the \Data\ folder into your \Steam\steamapps\common\Painkiller Redemption\ directory
  
  
• Open the folder that corresponds to your resolution, \16_9\ for example, and move this \Data\ folder into the same \steamapps\common\Painkiller Redemption\ directory. These are resized textures (Boss Health, Startup Screen, Crossbow Scope) that have been properly scaled for each resolution.
  
  
• Go to Options > HUD for easily accessible options. You can use this menu for most things, but certain things (like zoomed FOV) still require using the console or .ini edits.

Console Commands

These commands can also be changed by editing the config.ini, but nothing beats the flexibility of the console.

New Console Commands, listed with their default values.

WeaponFOV = -10          Weapon distance to camera, + or -
Eyefinity = 0            Centers important HUD elements. 1=On, 0=Off
EyefinityAdjust = 0      Fine-tunes HUD placement. Negative numbers push HUD out, positive pulls HUD in. Requires Eyefinity = 1
StakeFadeTime = 3600   	 Time in seconds for stakes and shurikens to fade. Default time is one hour.
CrosshairSize = 0.75     Crosshair Size. 1=Full Size, 2=Double Size, 0.5=Half size
PlayStartMovies = false  Disables the three splash videos on startup
PlayStartSound = true    Enables the painkiller-mainlogo.wav on startup

Existing commands that are handy.

FOV = 110      (Changes the Field of Vision)
HudSize = 0.5  (Changes the size of the HUD while constraining proportions)

New commands that require a restart to take effect. Useful to avoid .ini edits.

ZoomFOV   = 60      Zoomed Weapon FOV

Changelog

Vers. 1.0

• Initial release. These are the same base edits from my Black Edition mod, but updated for Redemption.
  
• The text on the very first menu ingame doesn't fit on the background, but I don't really care to fix it.
  
  
  I tapped out of this one after the second level. There's just no enjoyment left in these expansion pack mods they sold as standalone games, and they just don't have any logical sense of progression, pacing, mapping, or atmosphere, and they lack a storyline completely. I'll be skipping Recurring Evil entirely. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me three more times, shame on me.

  If the link to this mod expires, just let me know and I'll re-up it. I'm using MediaFire because it doesn't require people to signup. Just don't click on one of the 50 fake download links, you know the drill.

Really bummed out you didn't do Recurring Evil! It was easily the second best expansion behind Overdose.
