Couldn't change windowsize in .cfg
« on: August 06, 2003, 04:54:47 am »
So I tried to be a good newbie and read all the faqs I could get my (now furry and clawed) hands on.  I read about changing the sound and the video display size, both of which are changed in psclient.cfg file through notepad.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find the \"full screen\" argument to change my screen size ingame.  

Has the .cfg file been changed and, if so, could you point me to the new location to change this setting?

I am not sure you are able to increase/decrease your screen size ingame, but run the pssetup.exe and you are able to choose a windowed version and resolution.. I know it isn\'t like resizing your screen, but it\'s a start...

Try planeshift.cfg not psclient.cfg.

thank you very much for suggesting the alternate .cfg file.  I will try that as soon as I can.

Additionally, I wouldn\'t be able to use pssetup because it comes up as unable to open/operate \"direct draw\".

Any ideas?

I got the same problem.
\"Can\'t create DirectDraw device\" with pssetup.exe

The fullscreen command isn\'t in your planeshift.cfg, you must add the command yourself
so:
Video.ScreenWidth = 1024
Video.ScreenHeight = 768
Video.FullScreen = yes
The numbers 1024 and 768 obviously being the resolution @ which you want to play the game.
1 more thing... don\'t forget to add the dark box thingy between the commands (just look @ the other commands in planeshift.cfg and you\'ll see what I mean).


Good luck,

PS Instead of Video.Fullscreen = yes, you could also use Video.Fullscreen = true :)

Do your editing in Wordpad and I believe the formatting will look a little less messy, eliminating the need to add those strange boxes.
