Title: Maximised Windowed
Post by: nuffen on July 08, 2011, 08:07:38 pm
Hi
I always play c-rpg windowed, this way I can read on the web, maybe watch a movie or chat on IRC while playing, especially during downtime.
A lot of games got a maximise function while in windowed mode, and I miss that in warband, so I can remove the borders n stuff.
Anyone got a tip here?

Im writing a quide giev me a sec. Have done this to many games, but not yet with cRPG. Brb

Edit: I can get it borderless but this must have something to do with windows 7 since this is the first time im doing with it. Im having a trouble that the mouse cursor is not actually where the pointer shows. The real cursor is below the target im pointing. This might take some time.

No, that is not maximised, that is windowed.

Put your screen resolution to that of the warband window. Then try to find a way to extend the window to no borders.
...Yea.

You can do it by using these programs but i think they are not fully working with win7 64bit. At least the WinExplorer isnt :(

What's the difference between maximized no borders and full screen? I seem to be missing something here.

Yeah, tried out shiftwindow. Too bad I couldnt expand the windows borders, so it didnt help. Thanks for the tip tho.

Bromagi: because alt tabbing makes the game close down, uses time to get it up, AND you cant watch if like enemys coming or stuff while being alt-tabbed, so basicly you can only do it in breaks.

You can remove all those borders by WinExplorer if your using 32bit havent found a program which would work on 64bit. Since you will need both of those to make it work out. WinExp to remove all the crap and center with the swift thingy.

- Get Autohotkey, install it (tiny program, extra useful)
- make a new txt file
- remember to set it run windowed mode
- past this code
Updated:
Code: [Select]

;Set your game path here
Run, D:\Games\Mount&Blade Warband\mb_warband.exe
;Set your desktop resolution here
w = 1680
h = 1050
;20 seconds delay before script makes game "fullscreen", you can set different amount, just see that you press play before time has run off
Sleep, 20000
WinMaximize, Mount&Blade Warband
WinGetPos, X, Y, Width, Height, Mount&Blade Warband
DllCall("SetMenu", uint, WinExist( "Mount&Blade Warband" ), uint, 0)
WinSet, Style, -0xC40000, Mount&Blade Warband
WinMove,Mount&Blade Warband,,0,0,w,h
ExitApp


- rename txt to ahk and doubleclick it
- dont forget to set your desktop resolution and game path


Now you can run this file instead of shortcut or make a shotcuts to this file instead of mb_warband.exe thus giving you a chance to put a mb_warband's icon to this shortcut to *.ahk file making it completely same as launching normal game but getting rid of crashes because of alt+tabbed fullscreen.

This script is launching a m&b loader and waiting 20 seconds then making it pseudo-full-screen, whats more you can browse internetnet or doing whatever you want while game is loading, script will affect only game's window.
