Remove dos Box?

by Shannara · in Torque Game Engine · 08/29/2004 (2:39 pm) · 9 replies

Whenever I start the demo (after compile) in both debug and release mode, there is a dos box that pops up, and then the game shows. The sad part is, the box is there before, during, and after the game have shut down. Only after the game have shut down, THEN the box goes away.

Does anybody know how to get rid of that awful thing?

Yep, search the forums and you'll find exactly how to do it. This question has been asked about 500 times before, so you shouldn't have any problems locating the answer.

Ok, threads must be getting auto-pruned here as the search engine claims there are no threads with "DOS" in it.

Turns out that the search for the forums is 100% broken, cant really find a thing with that tool.

Also there is a rumor that the search code that only performs a search if its greater than 3 characters.

You have to rebuild the engine with a different setting.

In VC 6 you go to project/settings and select the link tab
go to "project options" at the bottom and look for this
/subsystem:someting change it to /subsystem:windows and do a rebuild
