setting resolution onStart

Hi guys

Does anyone have any idea if its possable to get T2D to set the screen res and the like onStart instead of creating a options menu?

basicly im thinking of having the game set res bit depth etc. to that of the desktop of the machine it is on and herefore always be right for the machine its being played on and not need to be set by the player to get optimum screen settings!!

Just an Idea!!!

Well, if you just want it to default to full screen, you can add the following at the start of the program:

if(isFullScreen() == false)
{toggleFullScreen();}

Beyond that, you may want to look at TorqueScript Console Functions 12 on TDN (linking to it doesn't seem to work right :o

There's a function called getDesktopResolution().

Should do the trick. :)
