Well I'm having trouble setting a fixed resolution I know it's this dbSetDisplayMode ( 320 , 240 , 32 ); but is there any way of fixing this so that it's a fixed resolution?

Also I'd like to set resolutions with the Fkeys in game.

so like F1= 640X480 F2= Full screen F3= 320X240(default screen size)

Uh...is 320x240x32 a real supported resolution on most video cards? I'm using dbSetDisplayMode(800,600,16); and it works great on my system...my guess is that 320x240x32 isn't a supported display mode???

Not for DirectX I don't think - there used to be resolution that was a Taboo - Kinda Cool - mode in SVGA times - allowed mapping really cool color/res trade off for decently fast stuff - plotting pixels etc. Sounds like a similiar resolution - But - that's real old school for many here. (Allowed 256 colors - at a non-standard resolution - required paging two mem "areas" to make it work.

You could pick something "Close" and then use a window - and force the "Size" of the window. But - you really need to POLL the VIDEO card - and find out what it supports - than use some logic to try to find the best match - otherwise your asking for portability issues.

I think there is dbSetWindowPosition - and MAYBE a dbSetwindowSize function - though if so - I'd think it scales the image - this is based on the fact that if I have a say 1024x768 window with DGDK - then I can resize with mouse. Note you maybe able to use window API for this very issue - changing the windows size to your needs if a call doesn't exist already.

There is a dbSetWindowSize (this will change the window size only)-


And to change the resolution itself, you'll have to use this-


You'll have to use dbScanCode and see if DIK_F1 is pressed and use an if command to change the resolution or window size. It should be placed in the main loop, I think.

dbPrint ( "Sig" );
