Fullscreen++

Fullscreen++
By: Zeus81

Script for VX and VX Ace.
New fullscreen mode that is more smart and make a better use of the screen surface (no black frame).
Alt+Enter still uses the old fullscreen mode, to use the new one press F5.
You can also press F6 to change the screen ratio, be it in fullscreen or windowed mode (both ratios are independents).
This script automatically saves the last configuration used in the Game.ini file (fullscreen mode & ratios) and restores it when you restart the game.
So before sharing your game do not forget to put the config you want by default, the first time we start your game.
The old fullscreen mode is still present, but you can disable it by setting true on line 9 (instead of false).
However it will also disable Alt+F4, and if you press Alt+Enter at the same time you can bypass the prohibition anyway.

Would it be possible to make one for XP that retains a custom resolution? Because it hasn't been done yet (from my searching) and it would be very helpful :)

Great script by the way :thumb:
 
This is quite useful, light and pretty much plug and play...

I made something a little while ago this could profit from for Raven's game... when I get back home, I'll look into that and shove it in here if I'm right, and maybe you have a use for it :)
 
I tried this and the intro video I had was playing in the regular small window in the upper left hand corner.

I'm using VX Ace.

I´m new to RPG Maker VX and RGSS, can someone explain me how to use the script and where I have to put it?
I tried to copy the script in an empty script in RPG Maker but nothing happen. I think there is something else I have to do.

Thanks
 
Thank you for this script. This is a very good mod to the way full screen is handled. The old way was so horrible compared to this.
 
Have you finished the XP version of this? I'd even be willing to help you create it. I'm pretty familiar with coding for XP, but I don't know alot about the Win32 calls. :smile:

I want a script that will fullscreen an RPGXP game, while maintaining the 3:4 aspect ratio by placing black borders at the sides. With my widescreen monitor, it stretches to 16:9, and this looks terrible.
 
No I haven't continued it, I prefer to work on more useful scripts.
I mean, nowadays 16/9 monitors can handle 4/3 diplay without stretching and/or graphics cards have a "fit in" option too.

Hello. I was looking for solution to RPGMaker games lagging in fullscreen mode in Windows 8, and searching led me to this script wchic was reported to help with this issue. However - i only know rpgmaker from gamer side, and i have no clue hov to use/run this script with already existing game. Could anyone help me with his :)? (or maybe there is another way to solve the Fullscreen lags problems in windows 8?) thanks in advance
 
@zeni: If the game is encrypted, you're out of luck. If not, you can open it up in RPG Maker and install the script yourself. But this is not the right place to ask for support for an existing game. Why don't you ask the developer of the game you're playing? If you end up needing to launch RPG Maker and making changes, the best I can suggest right now is to look at the RPG Maker Tutorials forum.
 
I don't know if there's a way to change that but when i'm launching the fullscreen mode, the screen does stretch to a bigger resolution but i'm still having the black frame and i want to get rid of it ...

here's a screen:

Otherwise, your script is amazing it really is helpuful and makes the experience more enjoyful, thank you very much !
 
Oh, those black bars? Well there's no way RPG Maker is going to fill that in with extra map or anything; it's pretty much locked at the 4:3 aspect ratio unless the game developer went to a lot more trouble to make all the interfaces work at the wider aspect ratio. And it isn't a good idea to simply stretch the picture to fit 'cause that would look ugly and stretched.

Awesome Bro

Since I've decided to try and get back into game making again, I thought I'd give this a try, since I hate the default fullscreen function, and wow, it's so much better, and the fact that you can increase the size while in windowed mode too with F6 is brilliant! Simple yet VERY helpful!
