Quickly toggling fullscreen / windowed mode

[SubSector]

After many times fumbling with menu then entering the commands, i made a bind to quickly toggle fullscreen/windowed mode, like this;

bind "m" "toggle vid_fullscreen; vid_restart"

In Quake III and a few other games ALT+ENTER switches the mode.
Would it be hard to add this as a default for Nexuiz?

I tried making a bind for that but couldn't get it to work, i'm probably doing it wrong however.

Well, the command for DP to toggle fullscreen is vid_fullscreen 0 or 1, so you'd want that in your binding

The bind for "m" above does work.
When i try;

bind "ALT+ENTER" "toggle vid_fullscreen; vid_restart"

i get the error
"ALT+ENTER" isn't a valid key

I'm obviously doing that wrong

I've never seen combined keys in an bind-statement, so I guess this isn't supported ?

No you can't combine keys like this.. just single keys. And i have no idea how hard it would be to make DP use alt-enter..

Ok. Thanks for the help.

It seems that when i use the bind that the gamma is messed up when it switches.

I tried putting a v_gamma 2 at the end, that didn't work.
Abaddon suggested putting a wait command before v_gamma but that didn't work either.
Trying to use v_gamma even as a seperate command afterwards also doesn't appear to work (after using the bind, it does usually)

So i guess making this was a waste of time, i still have to use the menu to change the gamma, so i might as well just use it to switch fullscreen.

Code: Select all

alias "fullscreen1" "toggle vid_fullscreen; vid_restart; alias fullscreen fullscreen2"
alias "fullscreen2" "toggle v_hwgamma; alias fullscreen fullscreen3"
alias "fullscreen3" "toggle v_hwgamma; alias fullscreen fullscreen1"
alias "fullscreen" "alias fullscreen fullscreen1"
bind "f7" "fullscreen"

This is a work around for me.. just have to press F7 a few times to get your old gamma back. This seems to be a bug in the engine that should have been fixed a few times by now. What is your computer setup? System? Dualmonitor? Driverversion..

Just put those lines into nexuiz/data/autoexec.cfg and it will work. Aliases are not saved into config.cfg.

Thanks for the workaround, at least it kind of works now.
