Full Screen v. Windowed Mode?

Post by Hanal »

When the Ogre screen options appeared, I thought I would try Window mode by opting out of full screen, but what I found is that I was unable to move my cursor off the game screen, in order to either maximize/minimize the window...is there something else that needed to be done or is it simply that it is not in true window mode when you do not use full screen?
By the way...enjoying the game thus far but hoping for more lengthy campaigns in the future (in terms of number of missions, and turn length).

It seems a DX Window acts different from a "normal" window. In OB window mode I have to use alt+F4 to get to another window and click in it to get back.

Thanks for the tip...I'm going through the campaigns now and as far as the single missions, those I have not explored yet...regarding single missions, are these independently created mini-games or are they lifted from the campaigns as I noticed some similarities in the mission titles?

Hello,

Thanks for the tip...I'm going through the campaigns now and as far as the single missions, those I have not explored yet...regarding single missions, are these independently created mini-games or are they lifted from the campaigns as I noticed some similarities in the mission titles?

The single maps are a mixture of both. Some are in the campaigns but with different settings units (as the player enters them with his core army in the campaign). The others are what you call "mini-games", you get a fixed set of units (historical maps with the historical oob, fictional with variations) on both sides and have to reach the goals to finish the map.
