GPL in window?

ISTR that there was autility or mode which you could use in GPL which enabled it to be used in either full screen or a window, but I can't remember where or how? Anyone got any ideas? BTW, I'm using a V3 card if it helps... 8-) *Peter* - http://www.cix.co.uk/~peterpc/home.html

There is a command in one of the .ini files that allows window mode, but I don't know if it works with 3dfx cards. I tried it once with my V5 and it didn't seem to do anything different. in the core.ini file look for this line: [ Rasterizer ] fullScreen = 1 ; run Full Screen? if it = 1 then it should run in a window next time you start. But the default is = 0 and when I use either method with my V5 I don't see any change. dave henrie <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a0prok$ide$[email hidden]...

Ok, I've now figured out that I need to be using D3D mode to get GPL in a window. And I have changed the full screen setting in core.ini. It works fine when practicing, but, it doesn't seem to go into a window when I'm hosting a race? Is there something different I have to do to get GPL into a window when hosting races? or is it not possible to do this at all when hosting?

When I host via WV I found it always defaults to full screen mode. WV appears to override this setting in core.ini. I think the trick is to set up a server in windowed mode outside of WinVROC and add the correct lines to the comms section of core.ini so that the server broadcasts itself to VROC and appears on the race list.

It is possible to host through WinVROC in a window. Requires a bit of hacking, though. Open winvroc.exe in a hexeditor, search for the phrase "fullscreen" and change it to something like "fullscreem". Can't remember if it is in there twice? When GPL is started by WinVROC, the argument will become invalid, and GPL will launch in whatever mode you had specified in core.ini. Cheers, Jens

Didn't work on my V5 either... Or on a V3 in my office computer...:( Eldred -- Dale Earnhardt, Sr. R.I.P. 1951-2001 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPLRank - under construction...
