Boarderless Fullscreen

stickyboot

<div class="IPBDescription">Probrably easy to implement?</div>I really really want Boarderless Fullscreen to be added to NS2. For those unaware, this feature allows you to run the game in a window without a boarder at full resolution (or any other if you want). Basically, its like running the game in fullscreen, but gives you all the advantages of running in a window like fast alt-tabbing and allowing other windows on top of the screen. My hope is that the appropriate options are added to the options screen eventually (sooner rather than later).

Games that have it are basically all valve and blizzard games. I'm guessing there is probably a way to implement this already without the devs having to do anything, but I am so far out of the loop when it comes to modding, I'm not one to figure it out myself.

You have two options currently to do this:
1. Run fsfod's menumod, which has the option: <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=113246" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/in...howtopic=113246</a>
2. Download a program like Shiftwindow that allows you to move NS2 in windowed mode: <a href="http://grismar.net/shiftwindow/" target="_blank">http://grismar.net/shiftwindow/</a>

Are there any plans of them doing this for release?

I think I saw a comment a while back (late last year?) where one of the dev team members said they planned on doing this. However, I don't know if it is a priority.

How hard can it be to do this? That's the part I don't understand. There's a mod that does it, and that manages to stay up to date for every release and keep giving me borderless windowed mode.

Apparently, not hard. I suspected this. Hopefully if many people voice their opinion it will get implemented (even though you are busy'n stuff)? :v Maybe squeak it in when you fix the new menu?

EDIT: I just tried the menu mod and it's awesome, especially considering the useless state of the main menu in this build. I recommend people wanting this now check that out.

Its an issue of priority rather than difficulty. There are bigger issues for NS2 right now, especially since there are viable alternatives.

so is it one of those things that "might come after 1.0"?
when I get tasks like this at my job I do them over lunch and stuff like that, because they're so easy...
