There is no sure fire way to handle system dialogs when we have a full screen application running. Most all commercial games have either in-game dialogs for non-fatal messages, or make the application minimize itself, then throw up the dialog. When our game crashes (mingw builds) then it doesn't throw up a dialog at all. Only on MSVC builds it does that. If we got a Fatal dialog, then yeah, screen goes black first, then user must switch back to the desktop to see what it was. :( The other option is run wz as a window that takes up the full screen. I still think the current system is better than nothing though. _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
