Standard window properties

by Jason Coggins · in Torque Game Builder · 05/28/2006 (9:07 am) · 1 replies

This has probably been mentioned before but one thing I would like to see added to TGB is standard windows controls (minimize, maximize and close buttons) in the top right corner of the window TGB is running in as well as have the ability to manually change the size of the window TGB is using. I would also like to see the standard controls appear when I right click on the TGB tab at the bottom of the screen. BTW the tab at the bottom of the screen still says T2D istead of TGB.

I am using WindowsXP.

While your suggestion isn't bad (I'd like to see min, max and close buttons too) the Level Builder isn't a seperate program like Photoshop or Torsion - it's a very nice collection of scripts that sit on top of your game. And correct me if I'm wrong on this (Worms is the only installed game on my computer at the moment), most games usually 1. force fullscreen on you at a specific resolution or 2. have a windowed mode but don't allow manual drag and resize.

There's probably good technical reasons why games are like this (like raster graphics not looking good when scaled), someone with a bit more development experience can hopefully explain it.

The tab at the bottom of the screen says T2D because that is what the default project is called. If you create a new project it will say YourProject - TGB Level Builder in the tab.
