Not working windowed mode

VeneX · Post by **VeneX** » Thu May 27, 2004 12:52 pm

I have worked for a while on my application and I noticed the shadow's don't work. I tested the Special FX tutorial, in windowed mode the shadows work, in Fullscreen the shadow dosn't work. I thought I'm gonna test my app in windowed mode but when I change the true to false of the fullscreenmode the executable doesn't run

Does anybody know what's wrong? Code is here: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... php?t=2393 (not the most recent code)

Yeah, it's a known problem, a lot of people ( myself included ) can't get it to work in full screen mode. I guess it's something Niko will fix in the next release. It also screws up the shadows for objects butted up against each other.

And the not working windowed mode?

Maybe the fault is in here, but I am not a programmer...

Code: Select all

	int lastFPS = -1;

	while(device->run())
	{
			driver->beginScene(true, true, 0);

			smgr->drawAll();
			env->drawAll();

			driver->endScene();

			int fps = driver->getFPS();

			if (lastFPS != fps)
			{
				wchar_t tmp[1024];
				swprintf(tmp, 1024, L"Imperial Guard");
				device->setWindowCaption(tmp);

				wchar_t dfps[1024];
				wchar_t poly[1024];
				swprintf(dfps, 1024, L"FPS: %d", fps);
				swprintf(poly, 1024, L"Poly's: %d", driver->getPrimitiveCountDrawn());
				fpstext->setText(dfps);
				polytext->setText(poly);

				lastFPS = fps;
			}
	}

	device->drop();
	
	return 0;

No, no, you set the windowed/full screen option when you create the device:

device = createDevice(video::EDT_DIRECTX9, core::dimension2d<s32>(1280, 1024), 32, true, true, this);

Yes I know that!,
But the exe fails to start, it gives an error, so I thought the fault in the code was in there...

Currently:
fullscreen: not working shadows....
windowed: I have to disable the particle effect or else he will crash....

Maybe the shadows will work in fullscreen but he says: Gforce 2 doesn't enable stencil buffers, stencil buffer disabled. But why is it working in windowed mode?
