I dont know how to put never wintere into windowed mode but i would appreciate someone showing how to do it cause it sucks having to go back and forth the normal way.

In your main folder, open nwn.ini look for the following:

[Display Options]
FullScreen=0
AllowWindowedMode=1

If you are missing either of these, just add them in or change as appropriate. If you still have problems after this, you can try pressing Alt+Enter. Sometimes I have to change my resolution, exit, then run NWN again for it to be in windowed mode.

Also, the resolution for NWN must be lower than the Resolution for your Monitor. Example: NWN 800x600 while Monitor is 1024x768.

Is that strictly lower, or lower than or equal to?

SP

and you can swap between windowed and full screen with ALT + ENTER

Strictly lower, otherwise, it takes up your entire screen, and would thus be: Fullscreen.

But I'm thinking, that would be a windowed full screen, so you could, like, drag it around. It would be neat to have the taskbar visible, but have full-screen NWN on a virtual desktop.

true enough but I find it better to have the window just slightly lower.. this way I can cut n paste text from text files if needed (very useful in guilds that have long ceremonies to avoid typing)

I did a search of all my folders on every partition i got and didnt find it. Would having nvn's platinum dvd edition have anything to do with not having that folder? Ok since i dont have it where can i find it, any of you got any ideas.

You enter your NWN folder, you find the nwn.ini file.

and i also did a windows file search with the windows search engine and found no file by that exact name. Like i said does nvn platinum edition not have the file or something, or is it named something else.

i'm in linux so i cant test this, but heres a suggestion.

go to tools: folder options: view, and select show all files including hidden files.

and i thought of it already to no avail.

found a file called the ini.bif
it was in the folder called (data) I dont know if that has anything to do with it or not.

Try creating nwn.ini and just adding those two lines.

edit: but only do it once.

im not a scripter or anything like that do i need a special program to make a nvn.ini file.

Just a text editor, like Notepad. Watch out though, it might save it as nwn.ini.txt instead of just nwn.ini. You might have to change the filename (in WinXP, the .ini icon is a piece of paper with 3 dots and lines, and a pencil).

I don't see how NWN could run without the file though. It's what holds all the game options, like resolution, directory location, etc. I have one--I'm using NWN Platinum (CD edition)--If you'd like, I can send you mine (it's just over 1 KB in size), but you'll probably have to re-do options.

edit: actually, that might not be the right icon in default WinXP. I forgot I have different icons.

edit II: here's what part of my NWN directory looks like:

Well all i know is its not there under the name nvn.ini.
I was looking through my folders for areas that had game settings. I found a folder called nvnplayer. it has all the settings in it from what i can see. This is what i see in it. There is more to this then what i shown. Anyways i dont see Enable windowed mode.What do you think should i add it to this folder?

its called nwn.ini not nvn.ini but i trust that was a type.

in the nwn.ini you will have a header that says

[Display Options]

if the AllowWindowedMode=1 line is not there just add it in below the last line of the [display options] section. to clarify the line should be -

AllowWindowedMode=1

hope this helps.

I just changed this on my system and it totally rocks. I love being able to now quickly and easily browse the forums for those times that I need to check something while IG.

Heh, ironic that you typoed "typo."

But to your point, the mistake was repeated, so I am not so sure it was indeed a typo.

downsystem-
You will have a file called nwn.ini in there. If you are having trouble browsing to it, do a search of the drive that has the program installed on it (most likely C: - make sure you're not just searching your Start Menu) and search for "*.ini" (without the quotes). You'll get a bunch of hits, but scroll through them and you will find nwn.ini. If you insert those lines of code into another .ini file, it will not work.

Good luck.

doh!

Thanks, I was looking for this as well...just have to use the cursor keys to rotate the view.

well thanks for all your help, it turns out my version of the nvn.ini file was only called (nvn) and i got it all fixed up in windowed mode and i must say its ten thousand times better then that switching back and forth crud i was doing before. I couldnt multi task with my computer while playing like i wanted to and now i can. Why the heck do they leave them options out of the game .
