I’ve officially been poking around in this game’s files for too long but I have finally found not only how to get it in fullscreen but also how to get the second achievement that seems to be broken.
Requirements
Notepad should work fine but I’d recommend notepad++ because It will make things easier.
I used VS Code but that shouldn’t be necessary unless you plan on writing code yourself.
Fullscreen
First you need to go to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fireboy & Watergirl Elements\resources\appThere you should open main.js with your text editor. (Probably best to also make a backup)
In there you should find something like this:
// Create the browser window.
win = new BrowserWindow({
width: 1280, //1200,
height: 720, //900,
webPreferences: {
devTools: false
}
})
Width and height didn’t seem to change anything for me and since we’re going fullscreen anyway you can probably just leave them.
Now, for the fullscreen experience you can either insert:
frame: false,This is more of a borderless windowed as you can still drag the window around but this will also leave the taskbar visible.
Or you can insert:
fullscreen: true,This will simply make it fullscreen.
It should now look something like:
// Create the browser window.
win = new BrowserWindow({
width: 1280, //1200,
height: 720, //900,
fullscreen: true,
webPreferences: {
devTools: false
}
})
PS. Since there’s no way to exit from within the game you’ll probably have to use Alt+F4.
If that’s all you wanted, you can stop reading here but otherwise keep going.
DevTools
Developer tools let you access background data and are present in most browsers. Since this is essentially still a web app, you can still access them although they have been disabled.
So, still in main.js, you’ll first want to change:
webPreferences: {
devTools: false
}
into
webPreferences: {
devTools: true
}
Now they are enabled but you still can’t open them so a little further down you’ll find:
// Open the DevTools. // win.webContents.openDevTools()
which you need to enable by removing the ” // ” so:
// Open the DevTools. win.webContents.openDevTools()
Changing this makes the dev tools start up along with the game.
Achievement
I still don’t know why but I did find a way to trigger it regardless.So what you need to do is in the dev tools go to the console tab and type:
greenworks.activateAchievement("GAME_COMPLETE",function(){},function(err){console.log(err)})
or
greenworks.activateAchievement("GAME_UNLOCKED",function(){},function(err){console.log(err)})
I know this is technically cheating but since it doesn’t work in the first place, I don’t feel bad about it.
(If anyone with authority wants this gone, I will happily remove this section.)
