[HOW TO] Fullscreen Script

[Nekoko]

This was in an old thread but I run out of space to edit the post so here is my latest version instructions are in the comments of the script though I will explain it here anyway. Basically my DE does not like the way a lot of programs do fullscreen (including regnum), so I made this script:

Instuctions:
1. Save the code in a file with your text editor of choice placing the script in the same directory as rolauncher. (eg regnum-fullscreen.sh)
2. In the launcher set your resolution to match the screen you play regnum on (eg you have a 1024x768 monitor select that resolution in the launcher)
3. Unselect fullscreen (doesn't work for me anyway) in the launcher
4. From now on run the script and it will execute the launcher for you, do everything you normally would

Note: I've only tested this on my DE so I do not know how it will behave on other DEs it should work leave me a note if you need help with bugs.

Note: If you want the old versions for some reason PM me and I'll send them via PM I can't keep posting new threads and posts have a size limit.

V1.7

#!/bin/bash
# excutes rolauncher then waits for the right conditions to make Regnum
# fullscreen. Ideas from the orginal script I found at
# http://www.championsofregnum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48175
# this scirpt is licensed under GPLv3

# set your resolution to the native res of your screen for best operation
# otherwise it'll probably be a stretched window (though some of you might
# like that)

# Please leave suggestions/problems to my forum account or in the thread at
# http://www.championsofregnum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=97543

# V1.7
# As long as there are no problems this will be the final version
# I feel I have worked out all the bugs
# V1.6
# Still trying to figure out problems this release is just something
# that will work most of the time for now (curse you kde) 1.5 was
# pretty broken too sorry all
# V1.5
# The annoying pain of a problem of fullscreen not working sometimes
# persists I've made it so the command will be done more than once
# if this doesn't work I give up ._.
# V1.4
# Make the wmctrl command only set the fullscreen attribute and do not
# touch the gravity position or size of the window, resolves issues
# in KDE please inform me if this causes issues for you
# V1.3
# Store the wmctrl result instead of getting it for each comparassion
# fixes script failing sometimes, I hope
# V1.2
# Spam the fullscreen setting a few times cause sometimes regnum just
# doesn't want to go fullscreen
# V1.1
# Remove the reliance on the python code to manage fullscreen
# Add support for "Champions of Regnum"
# V1.0
# Initial release
