Can't get NewGen .5c to test map in full-screen mode?

[MintJulep]

This is a minor, but annoying problem - I recently got 1.5c and now it won't ever test map in full screen mode. The Grimoire "Start War3 in -window" is checked off, and I tried with both -opengl and without it. This wasn't a problem for me with 1.5b...Is there any way to get my test maps to full screen (or alternatively, a button sequence that can convert windowed to full screen)?

Well why do you want too 'test'in full screen anyways?
its just testing, if its gonna be abig test, just have warcraft 3 opened, on local network or battle.net on the folder 'test maps' and play it there.

Well, since I'm terraining/spellmaking right now I'd like to look at everything carefully from the player's perspective to make sure the details are correct. That's a bit easier the larger the image is on my screen. On that note, panning the screen is a lot harder in windowed mode (not to mention the windowed mode is automatically widescreen on my computer, instead of 4:3 as I would like).

Thanks, but this hasn't been working for some reason for my 1.5c (as said in my first post).

did you actually try checking -window?

 

[MintJulep]

Yep, I've been doing everything - toggling those options on and off (with tests in each possible state), restarting the program, restarting my computer, redownloading NewGen.

are you sure you have edited anything? because its working perfectly for me

Just maximize the window. Its the same as normal wc3

No it's not...

Redownloading didn't work? Odd.
Does this only happen with Newgen (try the normal editor)?

I don't think so, I did re-download everything just to make sure. I have no idea why this might be happening...

Yes - even more specifically, only with NewGen 1.5c. I still have 1.5b in a different folder, and it does full-screen testing fine.

It could be a registry problem? Try it.
Go in start > Run
Type regedit
press enter
press Ctrl-F
search warcraft
look for a path and see if it contains -window
do this for all the paths by pressing F3 to proceed to the next result
