No mouse cursor in fullscreen mode #384858 10/09/11 17:11 10/09/11 17:11

I`m just starting with 3DGS and I have little noob question. After switching to fullscreen mode in main function I have no mouse cursor. I tried in several ways, but still no cursor. In windowed mode everything is fine. Here is my code: Code: function main() { video_mode = 11; video_screen = 1; mouse_mode = 4; mouse_map = NULL; mouse_sync = 1; } As you can see, I tried in couple ways to switch on my mouse cursor, but still not working. I will be very grateful for your help. Regards.

try this way:

[M] - Mouse off/on

Code:

#include <default.c>

#define PRAGMA_PATH "%EXE_DIR%\templates\images";

BMAP* arrow = "arrow.pcx";

function on_m_event() // switches the mouse on and off
{  
	if (mouse_mode >= 2) { // was it already on?
		mouse_mode = 0;
		} else {
		mouse_mode = 2; 
	}
}

function main()
{
	mouse_map = arrow;
	mouse_mode = 2; 
	video_screen = 1;
	
	while(1){
		while (mouse_mode > 0) // move it over the screen
		{  
			vec_set(mouse_pos,mouse_cursor);
			wait(1);
		}
		wait(1);
	}
}

Regards, Robert

}

a lot less code

Code:

#include <default.c>

#define PRAGMA_PATH "%EXE_DIR%\templates\images";

BMAP* arrow = "arrow.pcx";

function on_m_event()
{
	mouse_mode = 4 - mouse_mode;
}

function main()
{
	mouse_map = arrow;
	mouse_mode = 4;
	video_screen = 1;
}
