Game Window Settings

13 Aug 2009, 09:34Hi, I'm a fairly new user to Quest Pro and I have a couple of questions (Iv searched but not found what I was looking for so my apologies if its already here some place):
Game Window Size
Iv had a hunt about but I cant see if there is a place where I can set the default game window size. Is this possible?
Clear Game Window
Of course Iv seen the command to clear the game window, but I would like to clear it every time the player enters a new room while keeping the default descriptions etc, that Quest adds to each description. Is this possible? I played by putting the room description into the script area that runs as the player enters the room, but while this prints my description nicely it erases the Quest added information that would normally be there, and I need that.
Alex: Great program, excellent job. Iv played with several products of this type but this is by far the easiest and yet the most comprehensive Iv found.
regards
Max

13 Aug 2009, 11:59The easiest thing to do is to override room descriptions throughout the game by specifying your own description script.
There is a sample at http://www.axeuk.com/quest/developer/do ... ptions.htm which will generate a description similar to the Quest default. Open your ASL file in Notepad and paste the script block into the "define game" section. Then open your game in QDK and you can edit this script by selecting Game from the tree menu and going to the Advanced tab and editing the "To describe rooms in the game" script - you can add the clear screen command at the beginning.
