Guest Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 Hey, recently I purchaced another moniter for my computer so I can edit video duel moniter style. After installed I started to play mta, while playing i could display the same thing on both screens, then i hit the look behind button and got this CRAZY idea. What if you could use one moniter to always be looking behind and the other to look forward? Like a rearview mirror? Is this possible to do? I have my doubts it is. But just a thought for ya I searched all the forums for this topic already and couldnt find nothing, so i think this is a fresh idea. -Shorts
MAD_BOY Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 i think it isn't a good idead toput it in mta, but maybe it is a good idea for the cam hack
orappa Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 Yeah, but you have to bear in mind that most users will not have such a set-up and so if it takes a lot of effort, it's not worth doing for the minority.
Mr.Bill Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 this is something you ask R* not mta. ill leave it open for discussion
vass69 Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 behind and forward at the same time that would be spooky lol anyways good idea for ppl who have 2 monitors
dystopia Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 it would kinda confuse me....having your right screen turn clockwise, and the other would be spinning as well lol. Suggestion kind of reminds me of the guy who had 20 monitors to play M$ flight sim. lmao, badass...but i hate the game...if u call it a game ;x
[nWg]ScarFace3 Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 that would be kinda trppy....flight games blo BIG TYME1!!!11
Dgtadude Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 this idea is possible if you make a tool like the camera hack or something. but it would take too much time , for something small
Guest Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 this is something you ask R* not mta. ill leave it open for discussion I know, but i thought id bring it up here though.
SteadVéx Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 i think that would be impossible somehow, unless you have your desktop set as one ove the two desktops have the game use the full resolution shove half the screen as normal and the other half as the other view, although i think it would be incredibly hard to do, gta only uses one monitor, to be able to use it with each monitorh aving its own resultion, you would have to rewrite the gta engine to be able to use it...i think
Dgtadude Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 yeah . think again , ill go with SteadVéx . Its not completely impossible . but "for us" it is . Probably to make this you would have to edit the game . and engine probably ...

orappa Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 I can't really see much use for a dual-monitor situation in MTA / GTA. Flight simulators I can understand, because there are so many switches and stuff (snore) that they clutter up the screen.
Dgtadude Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 Flight simulator 2004 supports dual monitors . heck once i saw a picture of a guy playing iwth about 20 monitors . LOL it was like flying a real plane . he could see both left and right wings at the same time
SteadVéx Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 thats just scary!, although kinda cool at the same time....i know peopel who use flight simulator with the 2 monitors, although i've noticed some issues with it...although that could be cuz it was with a laptop... mebbbe we can get 9 monitors and make a video wall of gtat! hehe
Chewd Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 cool idea.....would also be nice if you had a button to toggle views or even the views of others that are in same vehicle as you.. but I envision many graphic issues with trying to accomplish this
