Lou2000 Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 Is there any way or running CMBO windowed ? Yes I know I can Alt+Tab and as im using WinXP pro and and Nvidia based graphics card I suppose I should be happy that CM is working at all ..... but the option of running it in a window would be convenient (sometimes) Thanks Lou2000 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 None that I know of. DirectX games like CMBO write to the full screen and don't really have the code to adjust to the 'scaling properties' of a window-ed environment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMcGuire Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Actually DirectX (Direct3D) can run in a window, but the app must be written to work that way from the outset, and CM is not. In the DirectX SDK documentation, refer to the D3DDISPLAYMODE and D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS structs, for example. It would make a cool feature, though, and I believe the code changes should probably be restricted to the initialization code. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 I wasn't implying that it is impossible for a DirectX game to be window-ed. It's just that it is very uncommon since a window-ed environment can have a huge impact in reducing the performance of a game. Therefore most developers don't bother adding the additional code to support such a configuration (since it may also lead to additional problems with scaling and artifacts, etc.). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
