Total fullscreen OTTD?

MeusH · Post by **MeusH** » 27 Oct 2004 16:04

Hi. I've listed throught all resolution modes (800x600 is double, delete one) because I wanted to have it fullscreen, not fullscreen windowed mode. I don't want to have windows buttons (minimize, maximize, close) and menu start, just like in classic TT and TTD. Any way to do that?

The shortcut is 'f' for me (linux), I dunno how it is in windows, as I haven't used it in ages. try 'f' or maybe ALT+ENTER

ALT+ENTER

or in the newest nightly build in the options dialog, you can see a button "fullscreen" under resolution

Hey, can you explain me what is nightly build and what is the difference between nightly one and standard? I've searched thought documentation, but nothing...

A standard relase is relased once a month with an installer, readme's etc.

A nightly made by an automated package creator, which runs at every evening, and you can have your OpenTTD extremly up to date. You can see the new features and bugfixes at that day, when it had been implemented. It can be downloaded from http://nightly.openttd.org/ just uzip and overwrite to the existing openttd folder. Try it out!

If you are impatient, you can set up an SVN client, and an C++ compiler, that can compile the newest version when you want

-- but it's not for beginners

Okay, so I'll download the nightly builds every week. I hope I can keep and play on my previous saves, right?

Yes of course

the nightly builds is fully automated and might not always work, so don't delete your previous one. Also keeping backups of important savegames could be a nice idea too. The first implementation of saving bigger airports was not compatible with the format used in the next release (the first one was not backward compatible)
This is pretty much standard for nightly builds

There is another, easier way to do this even if there isn't option in game.
Just open openttd.cfg in WordPad, then change fullscreen from false to true. The result may be fullscreen = true.

That's all.

But there is a problem with refresh rate, which is automatically changed to 60Hz. You can download DirectX control panel (it doesn't work with my computer, so I changed it in nVidia control panel and I think it works.)

openttd.cfg is not meant to be edited by hand. Of cause it is possible, but if you let OTTD do it, the risk of a bad cfg file is reduced

If your monitor switches to 60 Hz, it is the cause of DirectX and you will likely see it in other games too. It is NOT a bug in OTTD

Speaking of fullscreen, is it possible to get a maximise button? I don't like playing in real fullscreen so I have to drag the window out to the size I want.

MeusH · Post by **MeusH** » 07 Nov 2004 05:50

How about auto-pause when minimized?

Henkie · Post by **Henkie** » 07 Nov 2004 08:37

Only as a option. I use minimize as akind of fast forward(system P2-250). The normal fast forward has no effect.

MeusH · Post by **MeusH** » 07 Nov 2004 09:13

Oh yeah, you're right. I think most things should be selectable as option.

There is one there already! Or try double-clicking the titlebar.

you can set your refresh rate to 85Hz in the config file

under

[win32]
display_hz = 85

You're using Linux, right? This is a problem with the window manager. KDE e.g. surpresses the maximize button because it thinks for some reason that maximizing is not possible. I haven't figured it out yet, but I do have the same problem. Other Linux users have reported that they do have a maximiize button.

He knows, but that don't work if DirectX don't do what it's supposed to.
