Forcing windowed mode and other odd questions... - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Irishsean · 11-17-2004, 04:48 PM

I have a game I enjoy playing, but I want to be able to still get messenger messages while using it. Unfortunately its stuck on always on top mode.
I figured a way around it, using 3D Analyzer to force windowed mode on it, then WinSniper to remove always on top and allow me to move the window, but its a pain in the butt.
Is there any simpler way to do this than to use 2 seperate programs that are both going to expire soon?

Noone has had this problem?

What's the game? Often designers leave ways to change the way the game is displayed. Diablo 2 uses the -w extension after diablo2.exe to force windowed mode. You could try looking at mod sites for the game, or even in the documentation itself.

It's called "Maple Story." It's a free MMO side-scroller I've been toying with lately.
