I don't know why this wouldn't work:

var res_mode = 6;

var video_mode = res_mode;

Is there an easy way to adjust the video_mode from my slider in my options panel?

Thanks for your help

you should use switch_video() instead of video_mode because u can't change video_mode during the game

So would this be the right way to adjust it with a slider:

var vid_mode = 6;//default 640X480

panel switch_vid_res_panel
{
//......
hslider = x, y, len, bmap, 6, 7, vid_mode;
//......
}

function startup { switch_video(vid_mode); }

I checked out the menu.wdl in the templates, the only thing I saw as far as how they did it was in a function: _toggle_video. I could not find this function anywhere in any of the templates ??? I am only wanting to switch from 2 resolution sizes 640X480 & 800X600 with my hslider.

_toggle_video is engine internally function,
but you can write you own function.

Here is the originally _toggle_video code:

code:

---

 function _toggle_video()
{
	if (key_shift == 0)
	{
		temp = video_mode + 1;
	again:
		if (temp >= 12) { temp = 1; }
		switch_video temp,0,0;
		if (result == 0) 
		{
			temp += 1;
			goto again;
		}
	}
	else
	{
		temp = video_mode - 1;
	again2:
		if (temp < 1) { temp = 12; }
		switch_video temp,0,0;
		if (result == 0) 
		{
			temp -= 1;
			goto again2;
		}
	}
}

If you press F5, you also call this function.

P.S.: My english is bad... very, very bad.

Thanks Rich, I should be able to figure out how to do it from the code you supplied.
