What does it do?
FPSC Windowed Mode allows you to play your games in a window rather than fullscreen. You can also customise the settings such as window text, icon, size and minimising/maximising (more below).
It has been tested with the Stock FPSC exe but I've been unable to test it with mods yet (other than Horror Mod), so you guys will have to let me know how it goes with those

Customisation:
Here's a list of all customisable settings:
windowtitle=Text Sets the text seen in the title of the window.
showicon=True/False Sets whether the icon is shown in the top-left corner of the window.
windowicon=File Location Sets the image to use as the icon that is shown in the top-left corner of the window (showicon=X must be true)
windowwidth=Number Sets the width of the window when the window loads.
windowheight=Number Sets the height of the window when the window loads.
windowmaximised=True/False Sets whether the window is started maximised or not (If true it overrides the width and height commands).
allowminimise=True/False Sets whether the window can be minimised or not (Set both minimise and maximise to False to show only the X button).
allowmaximise=True/False Sets whether the window can be maximised or not (Set both minimise and maximise to False to show only the X button).
executable=File Location Sets location of the game executable (Can be in any subfolder or main folder).
embeddelay=Number Sets delay between window launch and game embed (Keep increasing this by 100 if the embedding doesn't work for you) (Milliseconds).
trapmouse=True/False Sets whether the mouse gets trapped inside the window (Set this to true only if using loading and saving in your game).
loadingtext=Text Sets text to show while the game and window embed loads.
playingtext=Text Sets text to show while the game is running (not visible unless window resized).
closingtext=Text Sets text to show while the game closes.

The game doesn't go into window mode, it stays fullscreen, what do I do?
Try changing the 'EmbedDelay=X' line in the 'windowed.txt' file to a higher value. This is usually because it's trying to change the game window before it's ready.
I can't guarantee it will work for everyone but there's a good chance it will.
What is 'trapmouse=True' for?
At the moment when you go to the loadgame menu the cursor gets stuck outside the window so the only way to combat this (until I find a fix
) is to 'trap' the mouse inside the window.
If you don't have loading and saving in your game then you can set it to False.
Can I use this with FPSC X10?
Unfortunately the X10 window doesn't like having it's screen resolution changed after launch so, no, you can't use this with X10.
I hope some of you find it useful,
