Title: /Run 320x200 in Full Screen mode, as opposed to windowed? (Simple Q)
Post by: SoN on Mon 28/01/2008 21:30:21
I did look for this elsewhere, I know this is a simple question.

I'm using the newest AGS, and my game is 320x200. When I run the game, I get a very small window instead of the full-screen mode that I was used to with an older version of AGS. How can I test the game full screen?

Thanks!

The F5 command always runs with the debugger, which puts the game in a window. Use the "Run without debugger" (Ctrl+F5) command to run full screen.

Shucks, I can't seem to get it to run full screen, with or without the debugger. Any thoughts?

Thanks again

Build the game, go to the Compiled folder in the game dir, run winsetup.exe, use the following settings: 320x200 (fastest), [  ] Run in a window ... (not checked), Graphics driver: DirectDraw 5, Graphics filter: 2x nearest-neighbour filter
Setting the filter to 2x will change the 320x200 into 640x400. That's fine. Click Save.
(This is all just to address a common resolution problem if you run the game under Vista.)

In AGS, go to the menu File -> Preferences; in the top left, change the "When running without debugger:" setting to "Use game setup configuration" (alternatively, try "Always run fullscreen").
Exit by clicking OK, then try Ctrl-F5 again.
