Disable Fullscreen

[Xilef]

How do I disable the full screen (Alt + Return) in game? I want people to be able to see the Close Window button in Battle World, but they can't if it's in Fullscreen, that and the FMV's wont work in full screen, so how would I disable the option of full screen?
(An idea would be to ask if the game is in fullscreen and if it is return to window mode)
So can someone tell me the code snippet I need?

I think the problem is that [Alt][Return] is a feature within Game.Exe and not a scripted feature, much like other automatic features built into Windows programs. Same can be said about trying to disable the [F1] button in Game.Exe that brings up your list of preferences (General/Gamepad/Keyboard).

Only way around it is if somehow a scripter figures out how to disable the [Alt][Enter] combination of keys using the Win32API itself... blocking the actual WINDOWS function.

I dunno how to block 'em though...

What about this, edit the automatic fullscreen script so instead of calling Alt Return when out of fullscreen, call it when in fullscreen. That would be good enough for me.

Hold on, I had something that did this, let me look, I'll get back to you tomorrow (Saturday) If I can find it.

 

[Draycos Goldaryn]

Here you go. I posted the script >here<

 

[Xilef]

Thanks. I'll tell if it works.
EDIT: I can't have sdk at all, it conflicts with my other scripts. (I don't mind putting Disable_Fullscreen.update within every scene's update method)
Anyone else have any ideas?

 

[Draycos Goldaryn]

I might have an easier way of making it work without SDK, I'll look into it Monday and get back to you then.

 

[Xilef]

Thanks! You want to be in my credits? I need as many people in them as possible. Thanks again.

Bump.
Monday came and went.
Read above post; pull this one off and you get to be in my credits

If you want to disable the key only in specials places (battles for example).

Use this code :

@kbe = Win32API.new('user32', 'keybd_event', 'LLLL', '') # in the initialize method of your scene

@kbe.call(18, 0, 2, 0) # in the update method.

If you want the key to be always disabled, then use the following code : (put it above all other codes...)

module Input
  class << self
    alias altkey_update update
    @kbe = Win32API.new('user32', 'keybd_event', 'LLLL', '')
    def update
      altkey_update
      @kbe.call(18, 0, 2, 0)
    end
  end
end

Thanks, I'll try that when I get to a PC :D I'll reply with any problems. Thank you!
EDIT: It works! Great! Now I just need to copy and paste those two lines into every scene :D
The second code you posted doesn't work, it comes up with undefined method "Call"

 

[DerVVulfman]

Got the same 'undefined method' but this does it if you post it above all the other scripts:

module Input
  class << self
    alias altkey_update update
    def update
      altkey_update
      Win32API.new('user32', 'keybd_event', 'LLLL', '')
.call(18, 0, 2, 0)
    end
  end
end

Now it works.

On a sideline note...I tried (and failed at) replacing the 18 (for the Alt key) with a 123 (that defines the F12 key). Pity that 'THAT' didn't work. Woulda solved the whole F12 bug thing.

That's going to cause a lot of memory to be wasted, DVV. Creating an object every frame. Bad, bad.

module Input
  class << self
    alias altkey_update update
    KBE = Win32API.new('user32', 'keybd_event', 'LLLL', '')
    def update
      altkey_update
      KBE.call(0x12, 0, 2, 0)
    end
  end
end

I prefer using the HEX values for keyboard keys. Don't know why, but I do.

 

[Xilef]

I'll try all of these when I get to a pc (i'm on wii opera ATM)
Thanks guys, i'll post any more problems here :D
EDIT: There are many errors, Dvv's didn't work, Yey's worked, but when I went onto a different map it entered fullscreen and wouldn't go out, and because this is battle world rpg there is no in game quit option, so I had to go into task manager to end bwrpg because it was in fullscreen.

 

[Xilef]

Bumpy.
Read above post. Yey's script broke.

 

[DerVVulfman]

Strange... :s

My version based on Sel's
(Win32API hardwired, scankey -ascii variant- used):

module Input
  class << self
    alias altkey_update update
    def update
      altkey_update
      Win32API.new('user32', 'keybd_event', 'LLLL', '').call(18, 0, 2, 0)
    end
  end
end

Yeyinde's version... ditto:
(Win32API set as Constant, hex code for key used)

module Input
  class << self
    alias altkey_update update
    KBE = Win32API.new('user32', 'keybd_event', 'LLLL', '')
    def update
      altkey_update
      KBE.call(0x12, 0, 2, 0)
    end
  end
end

Both work in my projects (even on a friend's junky Pentium3 laptop).

You are following Selwyn's instructions, right?
"If you want the key to be always disabled, then use the following code : (put it above all other codes...)"

I believe that this not only applies to your custom scripts but all scripts, even Game_Temp. I have it as the very first myself.

As to how you entered fullscreen mode... what? Teleporting from map to map shouldn't do that.

 

[Draycos Goldaryn]

I tried it, and it seems to disable the left Alt key, but not the right.

I have posted a new version of my script which will now work with and without the SDK. Here is the link, in case you don't feel like going to the previous page.
