How to run Oolite
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
A folder has been created in Start -> Program Files called Oolite. This
|
|
folder has icons for running the game, the reference sheet, this file,
|
|
and an uninstall program.
|
|
|
|
To run the game, choose the Oolite icon in the Oolite folder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The user preferences defaults file .GNUstepDefaults
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The file <installation dir>/oolite.app/GNUstep/Defaults/.GNUstepDefaults
|
|
contains the current settings for fullscreen mode and display resolutions,
|
|
together with the user preference settings for sound volume, reduced
|
|
detail (Yes/No), wireframe graphics display (Yes/No) and the shader
|
|
effects level (Off, Simple, Full), in case your system supports shaders.
|
|
All these can be changed by either running the game and navigating to the
|
|
Game Options... menu ('F2' or '2' key, then select Game Options...), or
|
|
by directly editing the .GNUstepDefaults file. The recommended way to
|
|
change settings is to use the in-game menu. See below for examples of
|
|
editing the preferences file. Note that .GNUstepDefaults will not be
|
|
present after the game's installation. You will need to run Oolite at
|
|
least once to have it generated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Switching between full screen and windowed mode, or changing resolution
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This should work significantly better than in previous versions of Oolite
|
|
for Windows.
|
|
|
|
There are still some problems with models and their textures, but for the
|
|
most part all the textures get reinitialised and keep working.
|
|
|
|
If in doubt, delete .GNUstepDefaults and restart the game. That will start
|
|
you in windowed mode.
|
|
|
|
Do not try to resize the window in windowed mode. The settings are not
|
|
saved under Windows and the game will restart in an 800x600 widow.
|
|
|
|
To change the full screen mode resolution, you can use the Game Options...
|
|
menu or alternatively edit the .GNUstepDefaults file by changing the
|
|
display_width and display_height values, and ensuring the fullscreen
|
|
property has a value of <*BY>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.GNUstepDefaults Editing Examples
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
These settings will give a full screen display of 800x600, about one
|
|
third sound volume, reduced detail set to No, wireframe graphics set
|
|
to Yes and shader effects set to Simple:
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
NSGlobalDomain = {
|
|
};
|
|
oolite.exe = {
|
|
display_width = <*I800>;
|
|
display_height = <*I600>;
|
|
fullscreen = <*BY>;
|
|
"reduced-detail-graphics" = <*BN>;
|
|
"shader-effects-level" = <*I2>;
|
|
volume_control = <*R0.26>;
|
|
"wireframe-graphics" = <*BY>;
|
|
};
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
And these settings will give a full screen display of 1400x1050,
|
|
full sound volume, reduced detail set to No, wireframe graphics
|
|
set to No and shader effects set to Full:
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
NSGlobalDomain = {
|
|
};
|
|
oolite.exe = {
|
|
display_width = <*I1400>;
|
|
display_height = <*I1050>;
|
|
fullscreen = <*BY>;
|
|
"reduced-detail-graphics" = <*BN>;
|
|
"shader-effects-level" = <*I3>;
|
|
volume_control = <*R1>;
|
|
"wireframe-graphics" = <*BN>;
|
|
};
|
|
}
|
|
|
