WHat is the correct flag in springsettings.cfg for grabinput

[Forboding Angel]

I tried putting a line of
grabinput=1
in springsettings, but no such luck. And I struck out on the wiki.

What is the proper "flag"?

I cant find anything in spring.exe/edit settings, what exactly is this supposed to do?

[zerver]

It seems there is no setting, only /grabinput in the console. It captures the mouse in the window.

Crap. So I'm stuck sending /grabinput 1 every game?

Perhaps grabinput could be added as a springsettings options so that windowed fullscreen could become an actual menu setting?

This would be a good thing but you could also make a oneliner widget that executes the command at the start of the game.

I understand that peet, but it makes a lot more sense for it to Be done via springsettings.cfg

Atm, windowed fullscreen as a settings option would fail hardcore on a setup with 2 monitors.

hm, not sure if engine support is required, the widget that does it is a two-liner...

[Forboding Angel]

Thanks Abma. I still advocate it being settable in springsettings.cfg. It is very strange for it not to be in springsettings.cfg

Make a widget that reads a custom Spring config tag before setting it!

Edit: Oh wait. That is exactly what Abma did.

The ENGINE should read it. Not the game. This is a neat little workaround, but it's just a hack all things considered. The engine is the one that should be looking by default.
