Get client aspect ratio or screen resolution

I want to send them a screen overlay but the problem is that the overlay contains a square picture. So I prepared two overlays - for widescreen and for 4:3. Is there any way to determine client's aspect ratio?

Not sure if this helps, but wouldn't a certain aspect ratio mean the player has a certain FOV? So maybe you could get the FOV of the player and translate that to aspect ratio?^^

Thanks, Kami, I will try to track FOVs on different aspect ratios. Will write back.
Edit: Nope, didn't work. m_iFOV is always 0, m_iDefaultFOV is always 90.

Tried to get screen resolution via this page
Syntax: Select all
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Screen Resolution Detector</title>
<style type="text/css">
html, body
{
background-color: #fff;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<script>
document.write(''+screen.width+' '+screen.height);
</script>
</body>
</html>
It only shows widht/height of the motd HTML area.
