Resizable window patch (1.87 KB, patch)

Description Erik Auerswald 2006-08-23 04:13:39 EDT 
When using windowed mode the window can't be resized [with the mouse/normal window manager functions]. The patch given via the URL above adds window resizing to the SDL version of ioquake3.

To ungrab the mouse to actually resize the window you can open the in-game console or use the CVar in_nograb.

Setting a QA contact on all ioquake3 bugs, even resolved ones. Sorry if you get a flood of email from this, it should only happen once. Apologies for the incovenience.

I updated this patch and committed it as svn revision #1594.

I also added a timeout; on some platforms you get constant resize events as soon as you drag the window, so you lose the window as it recreates under you. If a resize event hasn't happened for 1 second, then we recreate the GL context.

Someday, we should probably investigate updating the pieces of GL state that would be out of sync instead of calling vid_restart, so this works much more smoothly.
