Full screen

Hi. I feel a little bit uncomfortable with the 1.7.3 version. Where do I change the code to make my game start in full screen?

It should automatically, but it isn't code that needs to be changed, go into your game and go to options, it should say fullscreen or something.

Thats the problem, Im pretty sure you were able to choose this from the editor in earlier versions, but I cant find such a function in the new 1.7.3 version. There have to be a way to change this by code.

Still cant get it to work. I was playing with the code in the defaultPrefs.cs file a little:

I changed the line:
$pref::Video::fullScreen = 0;

to:
$pref::Video::fullScreen = 1;

Shouldnt this change make it work?
Somebody please help me.

Adam,
I usually set screen mode in the initializeProject function in game\main.cs

setScreenMode(1024, 768, 32, true);

the last parameter sets the screen mode to full screen or not.

Thank you VERY much. That worked great. Its funny that I dont know how to do these simple things when I have developed three other games in TGB.

Also, keep an eye out for common/commonConfig.xml; which can have some interesting affects on resolution and fullscreen...
