Grawries' Ultimate Guide to AL on PC: Full-Screen with Gamepad Control of Mouse/KB!

stackz: you want to create a shortcut from your desktop that looks something like this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -kiosk http://account.spacetimestudios.com/...?w=1920&h=1080

The "w=####&h=####" part sets AL to the full resolution of your monitor (mine is 1920x1080). The kiosk part makes it perma-fullscreen without the pop-up at the top of the screen.

i can see it o_o

I think I will try this tomorrow when I havent been drinking...did I mention I'm a chrome noob? lol. I normally play on my kindle or phone. the keyboard on the pc has me utterly kerflobbabled...or something like that.

so I should cut/past what you posted to my desktop and it'll magically work?

stackz: It depends on your computer. Do you happen to know if your Windows is 64-bit? You can find out by clicking the Start button, then right-clicking Computer and choosing Properties. After "System Type" it should say 32-bit or 64-bit. If it's 64 then you can use the format I posted. If 32-bit, you have to change "Program Files (x86)" to "Program Files". Assuming you installed Chrome with its default path, that should do it.

Wait, is it possible to walk with the left joystick? or do you have to use DPad?

Awesome Guide , mate !! :
Save lots of ma tine

Gesaffelstein: Although you can use Joystick 2 Mouse to set up walking from the left stick, this would replace mouse control. It doesn't seem like the axes that right stick maps to are set up in Joystick 2 Mouse, as the program was apparently created for the Sidewinder gamepad. Moving with the D-pad isn't really too bad, and although I agree the stick feels nicer for movement, I feel like having mouse control is more important overall.

On a different note, does anyone know how I report this guide to have it moved to the Guides section? Thanks in advance.

I have a very similar set up to this! Loving it! Playing on the phone or using keyboard hurts my hands.

Pm a mod I believe. Excellent guide.

Great guide , planning to give pc a whirl and this will definitely help.

Hi all,

I'd love to get my guide moved to the Guides forum, but from what I've seen we are supposed to PM a Moderator to have the guide moved. Problem is, it looks like Private Messaging is disabled on these forums now. When I go to my Private Messages page, all I get is:

Grawries, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Can anyone advise me on what I'm doing wrong, or what the correct process is to request having this post moved to the Guides section?

Thanks!

Very nice guide grawl! Playing full screen on TV is a completely different experience than playing on phone. Nice job putting this together. :)



As for your problem, I believe it should have already sorted itself. Most forum boards have certain mechanisms to prevent unwanted spamming from both bots and people. Therefore a limit of posts must be reached before being given permission to PM a moderator.

That limit should be close to what you already have, 10-15 posts. If the problem persists after 15 post count, let us know and someone can PM the mod for you.

Good luck. :)

Looks much better thank you.

Thanks Madnex!

those who have original ps3 controllers can use them as a gamepad instead of buying a new one. lol

You can use an xbox controller on a computer?!?!?! does this work on an iMac?? I want to use my xbox controller!! what type of cord is that!
