Hey everyone I guess this one is one for Zaei, but everyone else is welcome too
I just read through some old code I wrote and found some surface restore methods... (Ddraw 7)
so I thought I put those so the game will be able to continue after beeing send to background (it's ddraw fullscreen) I could not check though since it did not let me push it to background...
What do I need to do to make my DD games able to be minimized and still work after maximizing them again?
You have to restore the surfaces, see the DDraw sample coming with the SDK for further details :)
You'll have to load them all from file again too, unless you have them in memory ;)
and if I do so the game wont crash?
Mmm, is it crashing when you minimise it or when you restore it?
well why debugging it will crash on the next blt command....
if compiled the programs don't even care to go to background... or if I force them the hard way they won't come back either :eek:
