TGB startup resolution

#1 Hi everyone, I know I didn't get any answers on this but I explored a little more. TGB starts a window in the _initializeProject() function in ProjectManagement.cs. Through some experimenting I discovered that if I set a resolution in that function the above problem I mentioned doesn't exist anymore since TGB goes right to the resolution I am specifying instead of 640x480 and then the resolution I am setting.

The problem now is loading from a saved file. Anywhere in that function, even after executing the SetCompanyAndProduct command, any %file.OpenForRead returns false. So in other words it still needs to switch between a default resolution and the one that the user saved as a preference.

When the very next function executes, initializeProject() in main.cs, any %file.OpenForRead returns true and a saved file can be read.

Anyone know how to get a OpenForRead to work as soon as TGB starts up or any other ideas? I know this is an obscure question but I find it hard to believe nobody else hasn't experienced this, what is your solution?

Thanks in advance!

#2 I've got my "loadfullscreen();" call in my main.cs, outside of any function calls, right near the top... (just after setting the Company and Product names.)

It gets called before _initializeproject, and the file.openForRead() works just fine. (from the appdata\roaming\company\product user directory). Are you sure that you're looking for / putting the file in the right directory?

#3 Hi Tim, that's good to know, what path are you using for the OpenForRead? I have this -

%fo = new fileobject();

%file = "~/resolution.sav";

%ret = %fo.OpenForRead(%file);

%ret ends up being false. Also, after the last line it's saying illegal coe block in the output, not sure if that's only because it doesn't work

#4 Mine looks like so, with no path at all:

if(!($file.OpenForRead("screen.prf")))
	{
		$file.close();
		pbp("Tried opening screen prefs, but failed.\n");
		savefullscreen(1);
		return 0;
	}
	else

#5 When I tried typing in $file.openforread("~/screen.prf"), it says:

Quote:
getPrefsPAth - Filename (~/screen.prf) cannot be relative.

So I suspect that's your issue.

#6 I tried what you posted, just the file name and it still doesn't work grrr

Here is my SetCompany

setCompanyAndProduct(BlackWaterGames,RoadGangs);

And here is the path with of the file I am trying to read

C:\Users\steve\AppData\Roaming\BlackWaterGames\RoadGangs\game

Which all looks correct to me but yet it won't open the file, resolution.sav. I tried to open a few other files in that directory with the same result so I can't possibly see how it works for you and not for me!

#7 Did you confirm that the directory is being created and that the file is actually where it is supposed to be?

The only difference between mine and yours is "" marks in the names, like:

setCompanyAndProduct("Ghost Ship Studios","GameName");

That might do it.
