Config.prc being ignored???

Scripting Issues
1

What would cause all of the settings in my Config.prc be ignored? I had this problem with 1.2.3 and I just installed it with 1.3.0 … same problem. No changes to fullscreen, load-display, win-origin, win-size, etc … are implemented when I run a Panda3D application. I am so confused …

Panda reads all the PRC files in the config directory.

Unfortunately, some editors save backup files with the same extension as the original file. Could that be the problem?

Try:

print cpMgr

to list the Config.prc files that it thinks it’s loading.

1 explicit pages:
  c/PHL/Dev/CodeBase/Contracts/SystemSim/CKemViz1/CKemViz1.prc

2 implicit pages:
  c/Panda3D-1.3.0/etc/Config.prc
  c/Panda3D-1.3.0/etc/Confauto.prc

And the first part of my c/Panda3D-1.3.0/etc/Config.prc is :

###########################################################

# Uncomment one of the following lines to choose whether you should
# run using OpenGL or DirectX rendering.

#load-display pandagl
load-display pandadx


# These control the placement and size of the default rendering window.

#win-origin 50 50
win-size 640 480

# Uncomment this line if you want to run Panda fullscreen instead of

fullscreen t

Yet, window opens non-fullscreen at 1024x768 in OpenGL

I removed all traces of Panda3D and reinstalled … works now …

check out this thread on how panda finds the config file normally. Did you have your own custom build? (ok, you have fixed it, so it’s not an issue anymore – just interested)

No sir, I didn’t have a custom build. I have never compiled the source but I am beginning to think that it would be a good exercise for me to do so. Might lend to my understanding of all that is going on …
