Fullscreen Mode

Post by McYukon »

When I play BZFlag, I like to have it windowed so I can see what happens in the background, Skype, eMail, etc.
Is it possible to make it start in window mode instead of fullscreen ?
Maybe by adding something to the config file?

You can pass the -window option to bzflag when you start it. If you are on windows, edit the shortcut to include the window option at the end of the target, such as:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\BZFlag2.0.10\bzflag.exe" -window
If you are on Linux or OSX, you can do the same kind of thing from the terminal, or by writing a simple shell script.

Thank you,
Using a shell script with -window works fine.
