Hi I am quite new to Dark Basic, however, I do have some programming experience in other languages. Rather than chat about that, I would like to ask some questions. Dark Basic is for the most part well documented! I was just wondering about the "perform checklist for display modes" function. when I type this in


it shows the incorrect display settings.
For example:
1320x200x16
2320x240x16
30960x720x32

My configuration is as follows: AMD Athlon XP 1800+, 512 MB (PC2700)DDR RAM, 269 GB hard disk space, GeForce4 4600 Ti, ViewSonic A75f monitor, Sound Blaster Live! X-Gamer 5.1. My current OS is Windows 98. I am using the latest version of Dark Basic.

Could someone help me to understand WHY the Display modes are being output that way? There are many more modes than I listed as those were just a sampling. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Make an error with 30960x720x32 ?

If you put in an space/divider here :



You might get a more sensible display.

Good news everyone! I really am THAT good...

I think I see. The format is:

Number height x width x bitdepth

so it is
1 320 x 200 x 16
30 960 x 720 x 32

Thanks MrTAToad!

Something that I should have seen, but did not!
