code:

---

IFDEF VIDEO6;
Var video_mode = 6;//640 x 480
ENDIF; 
IFDEF VIDEO7;
Var video_mode = 7;//800 x 600
ENDIF;
IFDEF VIDEO8;
Var video_mode = 8;//1024 x 768
ENDIF;
  

---

and type-d video7 or-d video8 or-d video6 in command line or in your line of command in the file of starting up .bat

What I mean is, in the (standard output)script you see that the starting resolution is defined as:

var video_mode = 6;
var video_depth = 16;

do I need to add these there too?

var video_mode = 7;
var video_depth = 16;
var video_mode = 8;
var video_depth = 16;

Furthermore do I need to add the IFDEF's in a particular place or can they be put in the main function of the game script?

The current video mode. Cannot be set directly by a function, but can be defined with a starting
value to select the video mode in which the engine should start. During game play, this
variable can only be changed through the switch_video instruction

---

In what concerns me I put the code instead of The
var video_mode = 6;

All that is except bit depth. That seems only to work for a var definition (the manual is ambiguous, with one part saying you can switch bit depth and one part saying you cannot - probably the latter is correct)

What I would like to understand is we're to put the IFDEF's and if I need to put some var's into the script and where to put them too. Furthermore I don't know if I should use IFDEF's or DEF's any help would be greatly appreciated.

From al1 I received a piece of code and use that for my game:

code:

---

IFDEF VIDEO6;
Var video_mode = 6; //640 x 480
ENDIF; 
IFDEF VIDEO7;
Var video_mode = 7; //800 x 600
ENDIF;
IFDEF VIDEO8;
Var video_mode = 8; //1024 x 768
ENDIF;

---

No my special program start the game like this (trough a shell command): "game.exe -d video8"
or "game.exe -wnd" the last works but the first not!
