Scripting Issues

why is this not working?

def window():
    winX = str(getCONF.getCONF()[0]) #here im receiving the x resolution
    winY = str(getCONF.getCONF()[1]) #here im receiving the y resolution
    winFULL = str(getCONF.getCONF()[2]) #and here 1 or 0 for fullscreen
    win = str('"""'+"fullscreen "+ winFULL+' win-size '+winX+" "+winY+'"""')
    return win

from pandac.PandaModules import loadPrcFileData
loadPrcFileData(window())

You need to request them too…

base.win.requestProperties(win)

I don’t think you can load these prc variables after the window has already opened. You should use WindowProperties indeed, as adr said.

no rdb, i tried to open the window with setting the prc by using a string.

it looked that way:

from config import getCONFIG
getCONF = getCONFIG()

##################
#set windows size#
##################
def window():
    winX = str(getCONF.getCONF()[0])
    winY = str(getCONF.getCONF()[1])
    winFULL = str(getCONF.getCONF()[2])
    win = str('"""'+"fullscreen "+winFULL+' win-size '+winX+" "+winY+'"""')
    return win

from pandac.PandaModules import loadPrcFileData
loadPrcFileData("", window())

import direct.directbase.DirectStart
from pandac.PandaModules import NodePath,TextNode
from pandac.PandaModules import Point3,Vec3,Vec4,VBase4

thanks adr, now its working!

but im still curious, why i cant set the prc var by using a string?

now it looks that way->

##################
    #set windows size#
    ##################
    def window(self):
        winX = int(getCONF.getCONF()[0])
        winY = int(getCONF.getCONF()[1])
        winFULL = str(getCONF.getCONF()[2])
        win = WindowProperties()
        win.setSize(winX,winY)
        win.setFullscreen(winFULL)
        base.win.requestProperties(win)

Ah, I see. You forgot the newlines. And those triple quotation marks shouldn’t be there either. Try something like this:

win = "fullscreen "+ winFULL+'\nwin-size '+winX+" "+winY

Or, better readable:

win = "fullscreen %s\nwin-size %s %s" % (winFULL, winX, winY)

oh yes that is it!
