I'm... not sure how that relates to the thread's title. But whatever. In case you didn't know, you can stretch the window to achieve roughly the same effect as having the game full-screen. Hopefully that helps.
Its relation to the title is...uhh...questionable...but the guy DID as a question...it isn't a definitive no IMO. Preventing fullscreen mode CAN be something stupid simple as a boolean that's hardcoded as false instead of true or whatever for all you know...That said, stretching the window is not the same thing. I too want a fullscreen mode, and while I'm not asking for one if it's any work for anyone, I simply wish to explain why it's wanted (for me at least, I imagine I'm not the only one).
Basically if I stretch it manually, the graphics become noticeably more pixely for one, but even if they didn't, or if you think I'm high (I'm not, but nobody believes me), there's also the factor that there somehow is more immersion (even in games where immersion isn't really a big deal, it makes a big deal in this case IMO) in not seeing a window for your game...Seeing borders, or what's behind it (if your monitor aspect ratio is different from the game's base...and if you think you can't see a graphical change if you stretch it to be so, then YOU'RE the one on drugs!). I've pretty much subconsciously trained my eyeballs to treat the contents of my monitor as temporarily "everything" while I enjoy a game, and if anything, even so much as a border of a window is seen at the edge (my monitor's aspect ratio makes me see more), than that feeling is just completely lost...it doesn't ruin the game or anything but it's a cosmetic thing that DOES make a noticeable difference 100% of the time...Imagine it as something like the difference between liking how your main character looks, and thinking he/she looks like dung.. Everything else may look great still, but that main character, you want em to look as good as possible!
Ethan, how difficult would it be to remove the damage variance, at least for player attacks? Either doing it yourself, or pointing out the location so I can NOP it myself.
...Listen to this dude. If the random thing was gone, everyone else would be able to figure things out and define stuff on their own without pestering you much much easier.
