how to start the standalone players in fullscreen mode?

[charlesie]

hi, I would like to be able to start the standalone G-Force / Whitecap DIRECTLY in the full-screen mode. How can this be done?

thanks,

charlesie

Adding these lines:

Code: Select all

#ifdef STANDALONE
  SetFullscreen(1);
#endif

to the end of the file:
"\Program Files\SoundSpectrum\G-Force\Scripts\Startup.txt"

IF you want Full Screen ALL of the time ... omit the lines beginning with '#'
You must click (select) the window before keyboard commands will be recognized.

well it is a mac, so i found the file you were looking for in

~/library/application support/soundspectrum/G-Force/scripts/

and now it looks like this:

Code: Select all

#if BAR == 0 && DARKROOM == 0 && SCREENSAVER == 0 && WMC == 0

if ( GetPref( ENGINE_PARAM_IS_REALTIME ) && GetPref( PREF_AUTO_OPEN_TOOLBAR ) && ! IsFullscreen() ) {

	Execute( LAUNCH_TOOLBAR );
}

#ifdef STANDALONE 
  SetFullscreen(1);

#endif



Run( "logo.txt" );

is that correct? if not, how should it look? because unfortunately, nothing changed

Sorry ... I kinda assume a PC ... always... What you did certainly looks okay to me!. What I posted, does work on XP32/sp3 (I inserted the lines AFTER the 'Run( "logo.txt" );' line ... so you could try that I guess). You would still need to select the window, if you want ESC or any other keyboard command to function.

Otherwise, somebody else is going to have to chime in on the Mac front

thanks a lot for trying, none of these work i am afraid. cannot understand it; i just get

Code: Select all

 unknown function ""

coming up on the console overlay. otherwise nothing changes.

wonder whether any of the mods are listening. seems to be rather quiet around here. didnt my 30 dollars also pay for "support"?

These forums are for the most part a 'user' exchange endeavor ... if you feel you have a bug, I would post your problem under the Bug thread... it is more apt to be looked at by the powers that be.

That said, it somewhat surprises ME how it reports ' Unknown Function "" '. When I originally tried my proposed solution, I didn't have all the alpha characters' case exactly correct, and I got a similar message EXCEPT it reported my "bad" function name too ... NOT just "". Just for grins, try:

Code: Select all

SetVerboseMode( true );
SetSlideShow( CONFIG_UNION, false );
SetFullscreen( true );

(leave the '#' preprocessor lines out)

just to SEE if it still reports unknown function(s) ... This may not be the options you ultimately want, but it should provide some insight.
