I’m having a problem with bulldozer where I when I start o2 it loads itself and takes up my entire screen. Is there a short cut button I can use to close or minimize the viewer, Esc doses not work and I always end up having to uze Ctrl + Esc to escape back to the main o2 window.

Edit your "Flashpoint.cfg".Which is located in you Bulder folder an Change the "Resolution_W=800; Resolution_H=600;,Depending on what ever resolution you want the window to be.And make sure you have the -window command on the Buldozer.exe in the options in O2.For example "C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\O2 Light\o2_viewer new\buldozer.exe -window -noland -dxIf you need anymore help just yell out.

Hi NZXSHADOWS
Yes I’ve already done all that, However the problem with using –window is that it forces the viewer to go into a software rendering mode.
It’s not a huge deal but if you test this, you will notice that your view port is much smoother without the –window but then you have to deal with not being able to exit.
It’s not a problem on simple geometry but if your mesh is complex that –window string is going to kill it.
Like I said your way works but I'm not sure why there is no exit command for this bulldozer program?
Either way, I appreciate you taking the time to help out! http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

have you tried to use the Flashpoint.cfg out of your Flashpoint game dir?

Yep, I did
I copied the FlashPoint.cfg file from my main Flashpoint folder over to where the one from Boldozer was.
Like I said it works fine and my textures are rendered nicely but the performance in window mode is not as good as full screen.
But I’m not surprised, any time you run any driver in window mode the rendering process gets forced into a software mode.
Take the –window away from you view path in o2 and you’ll see what I mean about the speed difference, it’s night and day.
