Hello, im not sure if it was ever done or even metioned before.

But.

How hard and how much possible would be making borderless support to FS2?

schrödinbug (noun) - a bug that manifests itself in running software after a programmer notices that the code should never have worked in the first place.

When you gaze long into BMPMAN, BMPMAN also gazes into you.

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

<IronWorks> I am useful for FSO stuff again. This is a red-letter day!

<MageKing17> TIL the entire homing code is held up by shoestrings and duct tape, basically.

Window is borderless, but resolution doesn't match. I know i can set the resolution up myself, but TRUE borderless doesn't work this way.

Is it intended way of working it or maybe a bug?

If first, simply ignore my reply and delete this thread :)

Are you referring to the black bars on each side of the window? (i.e. pillar boxing)  If so, that's working as intended, and only occurs in the menus.  To disable pillar boxing, use the -stretch_menu option.

Let me clear something up: "TRUE borderless" works exactly this way. The only thing we do not do that commercial games do is set our resolution to the desktop resolution by default. This is something that, at least for now, the user has to do by themselves.

I know, it wasn't about the black bars.

I get it now, yes its not a problem anyhow, i was meaning the default resolution setting here. Its all ok. feel free to close the thread.
