Star Explorers Testing Branch Updated to Pre-Release Version 0.6.3
So yesterday's experiment worked (kind of) but also seemed to introduce some fresh bugs that I was not ready to deal with. It seems the other programmer's script, while fine in and of itself, was clashing in unpredictable ways with the existing Star Explorers script.
So I have rolled back the changes. But I learned quite a bit from this experience, and so I have updated the existing screen resolution script based on that new perspective.
I am hoping this new script is more robust and compatible with different computers and set ups.
[h3]Full Screen[/h3]
By default, the game should open in full screen mode, at the same resolution as your current desktop.
[h3]Video Options[/h3]
You will only be able to access the video options from the main menu. When you change video options, you will need to restart the game. This is a limitation that I realize is inconvenient, but once it is set up, you should not have to revisit these settings.
Here you should be able to switch to window mode, and also optionally add a border to the window. Note, the window and border should not exceed the desktop size. If you set it at or above the desktop size, screen resolution will not work, and should go to a 1280 x 720 window. This is the minimum size at which Star Explorers can and should be run.
If you have any trouble setting the window size, or if it does not default in full screen mode, please let me know.
