Mode=Ask problems

SpawnPPC · Post by **SpawnPPC** » Thu Nov 14, 2024 12:26 pm

Hello everyone.

I have this line of code that, in my opinion, works perfectly and to which I pass the values by means of previously set variables:

----------------------------------------------------
CreateDisplay(1, {Width = WinWidth, Height = WinHeight, X = XPos, Y = YPos, Title = "", Borderless = True, Fixed = True, Mode = "Ask", Active = True, Hidden = True})
---------------------------------------------------

Now, given the fact that I inserted the Mode=Ask attribute, the CreateDisplay command should behave in this way:

- if the user chooses full screen mode, the command will open the Display with the resolution chosen by the user
- if the user chooses window mode, the command will open a window with the dimensions entered in the command itself such as position and size

Am I perhaps wrong? Or is my interpretation correct?

Now, if I wanted to know, at a later time, what characteristics this open Display has, I can trace the mode, for example, window or full screen with these lines of code:

----------------------------------------------------
; Checking the mode of the newly created display
DebugPrint("Checking the mode of the newly created display (ID 1).")
Local DisplayMode = GetAttribute(#DISPLAY, 1, #ATTRMODE)
DebugPrint("Display mode: " .. DisplayMode)
DebugPrint(GetAttribute(#DISPLAY, 1, #ATTRMODE))
Local DisplayMode = GetAttribute(#DISPLAY, 1, #ATTRMODE)
If DisplayMode = #DISPMODE_WINDOWED
DebugPrint("The created display (ID 1) is in window mode.")
ElseIf DisplayMode = #DISPMODE_FULLSCREEN
DebugPrint("The created display (ID 1) is in full screen mode.")
EndIf
----------------------------------------------------

I created these lines of code to check the CreateDisplay command. I purposely repeated the DebugPrint etc. commands several times. just to understand and to be sure of the result.
I discovered that first of all the arguments #DISPMODE_WINDOWED and #DISPMODE_FULLSCREEN are not stored like this but rather with integers, and I also discovered that the integer is and always remains 1. That is, there is no difference between the 2. Then I read that these commands actually always refer to Display ID 0, which in my case is the HOST Display, that is, the guest OS, and that there is no way to control the Display with ID 1.

I can't understand if I'm confusing it or what.

Any ideas?

I need to be able to know how the Display with ID 1 was opened, if in Window mode or Full Screen mode, for example, and maybe also know the size of this Display with ID 1.

Thanks to everyone who will give me some advice!

Bye!

i lost a bit
but i think you trying to open a display 1 while display 1 is already opened.. hollywood creates a display when starts thats display 1

i slighly modify your example opening a second display with my prefered attributes, and i think it get correct resutls
try

Code: Select all

CreateDisplay(2, {Width = 300, Height = 100, X = 10, Y = 10, Title = "", Borderless = True, Fixed = True, Mode = "Ask", Active = True, Hidden = True})
OpenDisplay(2)
CloseDisplay(1)
NPrint("Hello World")


; Checking the mode of the newly created display
DebugPrint("Checking the mode of the newly created display (ID 2).")
Local DisplayMode = GetAttribute(#DISPLAY, 2, #ATTRMODE)
NPrint("Display mode: " .. DisplayMode)
NPrint(GetAttribute(#DISPLAY, 2, #ATTRMODE))
Local DisplayMode = GetAttribute(#DISPLAY, 2, #ATTRMODE)
If DisplayMode = #DISPMODE_WINDOWED
NPrint("The created display (ID 2) is in window mode.")
ElseIf DisplayMode = #DISPMODE_FULLSCREEN
NPrint("The created display (ID 2) is in full screen mode.")
EndIf
WaitLeftMouse()

p.s. for code display, there is a buttonm in forum [</>] that insert a [.code.] block ,and is more readable that line (also easier to type

what are the expected results ?

when i run my example
and chose [Full Screen] in requester, script says

display mode 2
created display is .. full screen

when chose in reequester [Windowed] , script says

display mode 1
created display is .. windowd mode

also adding line

Code: Select all

NPrint(" Opened screen is "..GetAttribute(#DISPLAY, 2, #ATTRHOSTWIDTH).. " x " ..GetAttribute(#DISPLAY, 2, #ATTRHOSTHEIGHT))

i get 320*200 in full screen , and nothing in windowed

note that chosing a resolution under UAEgfx says "hollywood not in palette mode chose true color" but i chose a 32bit/16 mode and still fails !?
no problem in windows though ??

Guys, it keeps telling me that the mode is always 1 in window.

But how is that possible ?

I have added a lot of DebugPrints. The result is always the same.

Can anyone help me ?

I would really appreciate it.

Thanks everyone

ok
you create a display but you NOT open it, then ask attributes (you get from host ) and THEN you open
first you have to open (active) ask attributes then open it

also too much italian

, both debug/variables/comments hard to see

i comment OUT a few thinks to understand...

btw i notice a "bug" in IDE in windows
if a fullscreen is opened, debug print text is not updated, have to select with mouse text to see it

The error persist, always window mode (1). I have changed the DisplayID to 2 and inserted fixed variables in the CreateDisplay command. The result is always the same.
