Available arguments -- questions about

[Felix Yellowhair]

Chaos\'s Running PS on your mac has the following:
You can get a list of available arguments by running psclient with \"-help\" as an argument. Note that this list is not exhaustive: some options exist that are not listed (such as \"-fullbright\" removes lighting so that everything is illuminated). I\'ve copied the current list here:
code:
Options for MacOS X 2D graphics drivers:

  -screen=      Screen number to display on (default=0)

Question 1) It says -screen =   Does this mean that we put an actual number after the equal sign?

Options for Crystal Space 2D driver for MacOS/X (OpenGL):

  -depth=       Display depth (32)
Question 2)  should we use -depth=32    for 32  bits ]

  -[no]fs            Fullscreen if available (no)
Question 3) Does this mean we have a choice between
1) -fs               Fullscreen if available
or
-nofs                no Fullscreen

  -mode=        Window size or resolution (1280x854)

Question 4)  Is this a place  that we should use our screen dimensions?  Say
-mode= 1440x900?

Options for Crystal Space 3D Engine:

  -fov=         Field of Vision (0)

  -[no]relight       Force/inhibit recalculation of lightmaps (no)

  -renderloop=  Override the default render loop ()

General options:

  -help              this help

  -video=         the 3D rendering driver (opengl, software, ...)

  -canvas=        the 2D canvas driver (asciiart, x2d, ...)

  -plugin=        load the plugin after all others

  -verbose           be more verbose; print better diagnostic messages

I remember the time when I first started searching online for my library back in 1975 or 76.   Yes I am that old.    The instructions for getting online stated in one place that one should type x for the geographical location.    i keep hemming and trying different locations for our library.  I got no where and so I finally called up and was informed with the news that I WAS to TYPE \"X\"! since they had not implemented different locations.

Hrmm? What\'s your question exactly?

[Felix Yellowhair]

ChaOs, I edited the original message to try to make it clearer what my questions were.

ChaOs, I think you can delete this theme since, I have figured out most of my questions myself.

Nah, go ahead and post the answers so others can see them. Sorry I couldn\'t help, but I\'m not very familiar with the commands myself.

Essentially I just left \"-fs\" on a double spaced line to represent \"full screen\" and since I had full screen I thought things were working.

But I discovered that \"full screen\" is not that great to wanting to be able to have IRC chat going or be able to look up other notes, since my full screen did not seem to do anything else.    So,  I changed \"-fs\"  to \"-nofs\"  and nothing happened, full screen was full screen.   It wasn\'t until I edited \"planeshift.cfg\" and changed:

; Use full-screen mode if available
Video.FullScreen = true

to:

; Use full-screen mode if available
Video.FullScreen = false

that  I got my PS screen to a movable position where I could change my Display setting to my special PS setting without have to leave PS to make the change if I happened to forget to change to the PS settings, before entering PS (which I did too many times).

My screen for PS is still huge but at least I can do other things besides just looking at the PS screen.

SO,  I took the PSClientCMDlist.txt and trashed it.   Now PS has been down recently so I can not really say if anything major left my game because I trashed the PSClientCMDlist.text, but what little I have been, the game seems to runs fine.

I did a search on these commands and I could not find much on them.
