Level Editor Window Size

by Paul Mason · in Torque Game Builder · 05/18/2006 (10:25 pm) · 5 replies

Hi

The lastest version (b3) seems to limit the maximum window size to 800x600 even though I specify a larger size. Am I missing something?

Thanks

Possibly ;) I've just tried Beta 3 and changed it to 1024x768 with no problem. What's the max res of your screen? If it's a 1024x768 then you'll need to set TGB to run fullscreen to get that higher res.

My beta 3 is running 1024x768, *not* full screen - res of desktop is 1280x1024

I had the same problem. If you go to the /games/common/gamescripts and check out the options.cs, that holds what your looking for in getting a little bigger rez WITHOUT hacking the source.

if you search for %res you'll see the code im talkin about. I just added my own custom resolution to this:

%this.add(1000 710,%bpp);


I dont have the code at hand, if you place that at the end of the function, it should that resolution to the list to choose from.

Hope that helps!

Adding:

%this.add(1000 SPC 750,%bpp);

to line 137 works for me on my widescreen laptop.

Thanks for the help.

Excellent, thanks. It seems to be related to widescreen laptop monitors - everything works fine on a normal aspect screen.
