Small tip: running in windowed mode

[Skurdt]

Hi all,

There's a way to run the fe in windowed mode, with or without the window border.

Create a file named "fe3darcade.ini" (or whatever the exe happened to be named) with:

Code: Select all

[Settings]
FullScreen=0
UseTitleBar=0
BackgroundAnimation=1
CenterStage=1
ResizeStage=0
SingleInstance=1
EscapeOK=1

[Lingo]
DisplayFullLingoErrorText=1

You can change any of the settings if you wish to but the "FullScreen" and "UseTitleBar" options are what matter for windowed mode.

One way to profit from this is, for example, to keep the default frontend's resolution of 1024x768 on a larger screen but without the black borders (say you have a nice background behind or something...)

There's also an other file that can be added, named "lingo.ini" with:

Code: Select all

on startUp
  the debugPlaybackEnabled = 1
end

This will enable the console window and show some debug stuff )p( used. There's not much to see though since it only shows whatever )p( decided to print there while debugging.
You can actually type-in stuff in there too using director's lingo syntax (it will mess up with the keybindings so copy/paste is best here...)
