Possible WINDOW MODE FIX

[Grim]

FAIL!! Sorry guys, i'm workin on it tho.

i was doing some research for the CF section when i came across an old fact about windows that i had completely forgotten about. If you right click on the desktop icon for combat arms and go into properties.. the "Target:" should be something like "C:\Nexon\Combat Arms\CombatArms.exe" << No i did not add those quotes.. they are included with the way it should be.

if we skip to the end of that, and add -w, -win, or +set fullscreen 0, one of them should work.

so change

"C:\Nexon\Combat Arms\CombatArms.exe"

to

"C:\Nexon\Combat Arms\CombatArms.exe"-w
"C:\Nexon\Combat Arms\CombatArms.exe"-win
"C:\Nexon\Combat Arms\CombatArms.exe"+set fullscreen 0

and one of them should run your game in window mode..

test and post results..

All three give an error like this "The name in the target box was not found". I think it could be cause the shortcut links back to the file, and since theres no such file (with any of the things you mentioned) it cannot link back to it. But, since its outside quotes.. No idea why it didnt work.

Yup doesn't work...wouldn't even lemme click "OK" or "Apply" lol..

[Grim]

gay... when did that stop working?

the - and + are supposed to notify that its no longer the file path.....

Im trying to make a program in VB that launches a program inside the program itself, and since my program is gonna be windowed, hopefully anything that runs in it will be windowed as well, but for now, that's just an idea until i actually have the time to start working on it.

so you can use your program as a monitor inside your monitor? that sounds useful.

but it also sounds laggy

[Jesus Farted {Mezo}]

Yup thats the idea, as for lag.. Definitely =) But eh, what works works, right?

[slayer9365]

To take care of the lag, just try overclocking your computer. I overclock at the first sight of lag on any game.(of course that is not that many times due to 8gb of RAM and a quadcore). You could also invest like $40 in a new set of RAM

You realize that CombatArms.exe is only a launching application and not the actual game client. Therefore, making only the launching application windowed?

[Stephen]

You would have to do it on Engine.exe

[Jesus Farted {Mezo}]

Exactly, it should wait till the Engine.exe process is already started, then it should grab the window and use it in the application, i already have an idea of how its gonna go, 2 plans actually.. 1) Using a parent form. 2) is too long to explain. But problem is, i dont have time... at all!
