Windowed mode?

#1 Post by festante » Thu Feb 24, 2011 5:43 pm

Hi,

I have a large screen - is there any way to play the game in a window as opposed to fullscreen? I'm on a Mac.

Thanks! And awesome work.

Yes it is, check the "run in a window" checkbox in the settings panel.

Where's the Settings panel?

The only place I've found to make changes is the Game Options panel (next to your Inventory), which doesn't include the 'run in a window' checkbox.

It's not in the game itself, it's either in the launcher or the start menu.

Seems like you guys are talking about the PC version. I don't have any options like that on the Mac.

Related to this... is there a way to make the windowed mode bigger?? I get weird artifacts on my widescreen monitor when I play in fullscreen mode; namely sprites and stuff that are supposed to be offscreen show up in the black bars. 320x240 is a bit tiny on my huge monitor. It would be nice if I could choose a different windowed resolution.

Run the setup file and choose a different filter (2x, 3x, 4x) which scales the game resolution up.

Oh! I was a bit confused by that menu because I saw the 4x anti-aliasing and thought it meant doing anti-aliasing at the 4th level or something, like in other games. Thanks for the clarification.

It doesn't have to be anti-aliased, if you like the pixels.

I find that using Windowed mode with the Hq3x filter produces the best results when playing on my 23" wide-screen monitor. Turn on Smooth scaled sprites too. [First post]
