Re: Any way to play sample till the end when quitting program?

yeah, was thinking this myself too, that basically when program ends, it really should end. Only thing that came to my mind was if there had been some possibility to play sample through system audio or something like that. Like windows itself has some notification sounds and systems, so maybe someth...

Any way to play sample till the end when quitting program?

Today came to my mind an idea that when Quitting from game, it could play a sample that would continue to play till the end of that sample even after the program has quit. As in, having a shutdown sample. Is this doable in Hollywood currently without actually keeping the program open? As in, after u...

Re: What ways to display a message to a user when starting a program?

Is there a way to receive information about in which monitor the program was started? As in if someone starts it from Steam, then Steam will be in one of the monitors.

What ways to display a message to a user when starting a program?

I am currently enocuntering a problem where dual monitor setups (in Windows) might not work properly. They get to select the screenmode, and after that it displays only black, unless user press "Alt" + "Enter". Since this Alt+Enter is a solution to the problem, I am wondering how...

Re: Alt + Enter crashes on dual monitor setup

I just hooked up my old computer to TV and monitor at same time again, and I can confirm that program starts normally with no problems.

Unfortunately I cant connect my newer machine since seems I don't have right kind of cable.

Re: Alt + Enter crashes on dual monitor setup

Every time, here is one description of the problem from a guy with 4 monitors: "With 4 monitors, choosing Full Screen Best Fit resulted in all the monitors going black, 3 came back on and 1 stayed black which appears to be where the game is running. Alt+Enter like you mentioned put the game in ...

Re: Alt + Enter crashes on dual monitor setup

Answering to this to help you remember better. Hollywood 10 still has the problem that when starting with dual monitor setup, it might happen that you have to press "Alt" + "Enter" to get anything to show. I just released demo version in Steam and someone I asked to test it out t...

Re: Game creation questions...

I remember someone talked about that before too, but I have forgotten what exactly the problem was, and how to solve it. Anyone recalls this or have encountered it himself? I ...
