How do I automatically define certain parameters, such as screen resolution?

#2

One way I know of is c++ scripting, I have seen it done in other engines before with that, and it looks up the monitor resolution and sets that as game res. Not sure on another way though.

Hi @didzey

For things like this there are sometimes settings in the various .cfg files.

I did a quick search and found system_windows_pc.cfg (in the root folder) with these properties…

r_width = 1280
r_height = 720
r_fullscreen = 0

You can most likely tweak them to determine the default window size if the app isn’t fullscreen.

You might be able to override them by creating a new user.cfg file and setting them there instead of directly modifying system_windows_pc.cfg

Cheers,

Tom
