If you're running TDM windowed, is there are button or button combination that will tell the game to give up control of the pointer temporarily?

Hello. Is it possible to switch game into windowed mode(I mean turn off fullscreen) with some setting in darkmod.ini (can't find any docs on configuration parameters)? I can't start game in fullscreen (some glitch with multiple monitors on linux).

How do I run TDM in windowed mode...It won't change when I set Fullscreen to "No"... This is a big deal for me when I map and jump between DarkRadiant and TDM...

Not so long ago I found what could make a pretty good profile picture and decided to try it out on these new forums. But I couldn't find a button anywhere that would let me change it. I asked on Discord and it seems Spooks also couldn't find anything anywhere. So I logged into an old alternative account and, lo and behold, that account has a button. This is on the first screen I get when I: 1) click on my account name in the top-right of the browser -> 2) click on 'profile'. Compared to my actual account: Are you also missing this button on your account? It'd be very much appreciated if that functionality could be restored to any of the affected accounts.

Please help!! My cat stepped on the keyboard while I was playing and reduced the size of my game screen to a small window. Now the mouse is not working on it and it can only be minimized/maximized or closed if I press the windows key.Restarting my laptop do not resolve it and the cat refuses to make TDM work again.

Hi, I need to know what the code is to use Spoiler Tags. I am using my tablet and I don't have the options to use anything, like spoiler tags, quote tags, text changes etc. Thanks

Hi everyone! This subject has likely been approached already, however I wanted to share my fullscreen-windowed solution as some of you may find this useful. By using the wonderful AutoHotkey and a few lines of code that I found online and wish I remembered where so I can actually give credit where it is due (whoever you are thanks for this!)... ...this script will work on pretty much any game that has the option to run in a window. EDIT : Somehow I forgot to mention that this is mainly for those of us who have multi-monitor setup, as Alt-Tabbing is not fun! The script should make anything windowed to the size of your current desktop resolution, I have only tested this in 1920 x 1080 though. To use this, please set the game settings as show in image above and then download Full_Screen_Any_Windowed_Game.exe (Understandable dubiousness for home-made executables can hopefully be dispelled with these virus check results, I'm here to help, not hinder ) https://virusscan.jotti.org/en-GB/filescanjob/usx04d2w1i https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/462693d7a5329c9cd2ba5d918b89c13cbc0d4868d38b8117c7a621a67918b43f/analysis/1472684261/ Once downloaded, run Full_Screen_Any_Windowed_Game.exe and then load up Dark Mod. Once running in a window, simply press Ctrl+F11 to make it borderless fullscreen! Press Ctrl+F12 to return to a window again! To exit the script, right-click the taskbar icon and choose "Exit". >> You should make certain that Dark Mod is the active window before using the shortcuts! << It is possible to Ctrl+F12 your desktop into a window, which is actually quite fun/weird to experience, you can always Ctrl+F11 it back to normal though! You can also attempt to fullscreen things like Windows Calculator or the Taskbar for wacky results! The entire script is literally this: #SingleInstance force #Persistent ^F11:: SetFull: { WinSet, Style, -0xC40000, A WinMove, A, , 0, 0, %A_ScreenWidth%, %A_ScreenHeight% Return } ^F12:: SetWindow: { WinSet, Style, +0xC40000, A Return } If you still do not want to run the executable provided, you can download and install AutoHotkey, copy the script above exactly and then save it to a "newscriptnamegoeshere.ahk" then run that instead. Another thing to note for nVidia users: and I didn't realise this for years... but when you run certain games in a window the colours can be restricted! To solve this open your nVidia control panel and observe the image below. This will allow the full colour range and will no longer be a "musty grey" so that the dark shadows have proper gamma! I hope that you find this as useful as I did! Please let me know if this doesn't work for any reason and I will be more than happy to help! Happy borderless fullscreen-windowed thieving!

So the good news, the updater didn't give me problems this time. Bad news, when I start The Dark Mod, my screen zooms in and the game is just in a window. It works fine from what I can tell, but I'd like to know how to get it out of that windowed mode. Anyone else had this happen?

Hi guys, through the "cheats" topic I got the idea, that it would be quite useful, if there were tags for missions (the post was about removing the killing restriction in some missions to suit the prefered play style). I don't know how easy or difficult this is, but with them, it would be quite convenient to pick missions with playstyles, environment, etc one does want to use. This could also be expanded to other mission properties. I remember a discussion about climbable drains, handles on doors, that cannot be picked and other things the map author chooses for himself. That way these things would be clearer and as I said before, it is easier to choose missions with playstyles that suit oneself. What do think?

I googled but came up short. When running in windowed mode how how does one switch out of the game to the desktop or release the mouse to continue working in the desktop? OS: Linux, XFCE DE
