====== Crossfire Client configuration file gdefaults ======

The //gdefaults// file is usually located inside the **.**[[crossfire]] directory. \\
This file applies to the old **gtk-1** client for crossfire, \\
The newer gtk-2 client uses the [[gdefaults2]] file as configuration file. \\

At the top of the file one reads :
<code conf>
# This file is generated automatically by gcfclient.
# Manually editing is allowed, however gcfclient may be a bit finicky about
# some of the matching it does.  all comparisons are case sensitive.
# 'True' and 'False' are the proper cases for those two values
# 'True' and 'False' have been replaced with 1 and 0 respectively

==== displaymode ====
The displaymode entry can have several values for drawing the map:
  * 0 Pixmap
  * 1 SDL ; command line option [[optional parameters#-sdl]]
  * 2 OpenGL ; command line option [[optional parameters#-opengl]] ; ( GTK-2 client only ) 

=== OpenGL ===
The OpenGL mode is available on Linux, if the MESA package is found at compilation time. \\
If the gdefaults2 entry is set to 2, and MESA was not found at compilation time, \\
the client acts differently than started with the -opengl parameter.

The GLX and probably DRI extensions should be available to the X-Server, when the \\
X-Server Xorg is started to manage the monitor of the computer. \\
When the GLX extension is not available for the X-Server, then the client will either crash with \\
message ''Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".'' and ''Segmentation fault'' as for \\
version 1.10.0 for example; or \\
printing ''Direct rendering is not available!'' to the loglevel INFO log output as it is for version 1.70.0 of the client, \\
and still would work in OpenGL drawing mode if  libGL.so.1, libGLU.so.1 and libglut.so.3 are available on the system ( but GLX disabled for the X-Server ) .


Special kdrive X-Servers disbanded after version 1.4.x of the Xorg R7 release like Xvesa, \\
likely will not work with MESA and DRI. \\
The Xorg's own driver vesa_drv.so and probably some special framebuffer drivers will also not work \\
with OpenGL / MESA.

==== map_height ====

==== map_width ====

==== mapscale ====

==== mapscroll ====

==== message_timestamping ====

==== nosplash ====

==== popups ====
Values : 0 or 1 -- 0 disables popup windows like a separate log-in window, 1 enables them. \\
Default: 0 ( disabled ) 

The default is set to **0** inside the source code \\
in function init_client_vars() in file common/init.c as variable want_config[CONFIG_POPUPS] = FALSE; . 

Command-line options : [[optional_parameters#-popups]] and [[optional_parameters#-nopopups]]

Behaviour: Most popup-windows might be annoying, while playing the game, but the log-on to a server had been impossible for versions 1.11.0 and below of the GTK-1 client, if that was unset ( 0 ) . To enter a user-name was not possible in the "traditional" Info-Message and Cmd-Line Pane on the right side of the client. \\

==== resistances ====

==== server ====

==== show_grid ====
This option is only available for the SDL [[#displaymode]] . \\
Purpose: It draws a red tile grid-overlay onto the map. \\
Effect: But this grid vanishes as soon as the player moves. \\
Implemented: gridline options available under the client config window. //MSW 2001-06-17// \\
Client Menu: Client > Configure > Map & Image > Print Grid Overlay (SDL only, slow, useful for debugging, development)

The GTK-2 client does not have such a Menu option to choose anymore; but still has this parameter entry in it's [[gdefaults2]] config file.
