Switching Windows

[ninjai17]

How do I switch windows without the delay? Before when my computer was f...ed cause of norton *coughs*, somehow it was able to switch through ragnarok without the screenie flashing twice before it entered into the duel client. I aint making sense

If your duel clienting, and you want to switch it back and forth... how do I make it so it runs smoother and not flash>flash>rag but go rag>rag quicker? I hope someone can help me

I didn't even know it was possible to get it to not do that.

O.o I can alt-tab fine from rag to rag, with just a black screen for a fraction of a second in between.
What do you mean by flash>flash??

You may be running two clients in Full Screen mode. If that's the case this should help:

Go to your aRO directory and open "dinput.ini"
Look over the file and change these variables' values to these:

MouseFreedom = 1

AutoFreeCPU = 1 (*Note* It does nothing on Vista/Windows 7)

WindowLock = 1


Now you'll be able to run multiple clients in pseudo-full screen, and the alt-tab switch should be faster.

^this. Your "Flash>Flash" is caused by running the clients in full screen.
WindowsLock = 1 will make it a normal window that fills up your entire screen space, yet not enter fullscreen.

When I open that file it says "The file name, directory name, or volume labe syntax is incorrect."  Then it shows nothing in the file.

Have you set all permissions for your aRO folder?

It's supposed to open normally in Notepad, at least that's how it works for me on all my computers 
You may have been trying to open "dinput.DLL" but it's the INI extension file you need.

In anycase, your "dinput.ini" file is supposed to look more or less like this:

Code: [Select]

; Configuration defaults for ROExt.
; Can be changed by client command line switches.
; All settings except CodePage use 0 for disable and 1 for enable.
[ROExt]

; Allow mouse cursor to freely leave and enter RO window.
; Command line switch: -mf
MouseFreedom = 1

; Remap 3-5'th mouse buttons, requires turned on MouseFreedom
;  when KeyRemap is off: to F24-F22
;  when KeyRemap is on : to F3-F5 of next skill set
; Command line switch: -mb
RemapMouseButtons = 0

; Remap closing RO from Alt+F4 to Alt+PrintScreen.
; Allow using Alt+F4 in game as regular key.
; Command line switch: -altf4
RemapAltF4 = 0

; For classic (not Renewal) client only.
; Change active skill set by holding Ctrl and Alt keys.
; Make Pause,F10-F12 work as F6-F9 of next skill set.
; Move original functions of F12 to Shift+Esc, F10/F11 to Alt+Insert/Delete.
; Note: pressing or releasing Ctrl or Alt keys during loading screens
;  cause permanent active skill set switch instead of temporal.
; Command line switch: -key
KeyRemap = 0

; Release CPU when RO window is inactive.
; Disable Ctrl+S hotkey as this is automatic way to do the same.
; Command line switch: -cpu
AutoFreeCPU = 1

; Make RO window be always on top.
; Command line switch: t after -w
WindowOnTop = 0

; Remove RO window borders and lock its position.
; Change default window size to cover all screen except task bar.
; Command line switch: l after -w
WindowLock = 1

; Override RO window position and size.
; Ignored if WindowWidth = 0 or WindowHeight = 0.
; Command line switch: -wX,Y,Width,Height
;WindowPosX = 359
;WindowPosY = 159
;WindowWidth = 1280
;WindowHeight = 720

; Override codepage used by client, use -1 for no override.
; 65001 (UTF-8) makes client work with all languages at the same time.
; Don't change until you really know what you are doing.
; Command line switch: -cp
CodePage = -1
