Hello, for resize the window and remove the blackborders of fullscreen, use this scripts:

#==============================================================================
#
#  - INTRODUCTION -
#
#  This system allows you to resize the Game screen without stretching the
#  graphics. It enables you to be able to fit more onto one screen
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#  - USAGE -
#
#  Simply use the one line:
#
#      Graphics.resize_screen(width,height)
#
#  Place this in main just below 'begin'
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#  - PROBLEMS -
#
#  Certain problems may occur while using this script
#  These include:
#    -  Windows not properly sized
#    -  Windows not in the proper position
#    -  Images such as the Title Graphic not fitting
#
#  NONE OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE ERRORS
#   -------------------------------
#
#  Please do not report any of these problems, the resolution script will
#  the screen size, it's up to you to make the scripts fit it
#
#  However the script is quite new and only took me about 10 minutes, so if
#  there are any errors please do report them  
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#  - IMPORTANT -
#
#  When resizing the window try to make the width and height a multiple of 32
#  This will reduce the amount of errors
#
#  Also due to the Built in function, the current max screen size is 640 x 480
#  In later versions this problem may be able to be over come, but I'm not sure

And paste this line in Main after Begin:

Graphics.resize_screen(816,624)

^^

EDIT: Hum... i have a great trouble with the tilesets, see the screen.

How do I resolve this bug?

 

[orochi2k]

"Graphics.resize_screen(816,624)"
is uselses...
as the biggest screen supported by rmvx is 640*480....

OK people, I know it's been a while but I have updated the tutorial. I've reworked the presentation and added a step to successfully use encrypted games. See first post for more information and don't hesitate to post any questions or comments!

Take care

I am interested in this, mainly for the 60 FPS and no visible screen tearing. However, is there a way to use rmxp's Tilemap class with RGSS2?

 

[Dargor]

Of course, if you read Step 3 Part E, you'll see that you have to use a custom Tilemap script.
There's at least 3, maybe 4, of these that I know of on this forum. Just run a quick search, it won't be hard to find.

 

[Daniel]

I know that, but I was just wondering if it was possible to somehow use rmxp's default tilemap class by also including the rgss1 dll or something along those lines.

 

[Dargor]

Oh, ok I understand. No it's not possible. You can use only 1 dll. In this case we use RGSS202E.dll which contains VX tilemap class so you have to use a custom tilemap class rewrite.

 

[Daniel]

Hmm, okay. So you can't require the RGSS1 dll or anything of the sort? If not, I guess I must use a rewrite. Are there any other problems associated with using RGSS2 in rmxp other than the tilemap/window classes and bitmap thing?

Oh yeah, and this is legal, right?

 

[Dargor]

No, as far as I know, there is no other bugs. I've been using RGSS2 with XP for over a year now and everything works fine!
And as long as you own a legal copy of XP and VX, it is legal.

I got a huge problem with this, when I make any changes on the demo (and I mean ANY, even as simple as moving an event one tile to the right) when I try to play the demo it pops up a window that says "Not found the specified process", and I return everything to normal and the demo stays in that window, I have to extract the whole file again to make it work from the beginning. How can I fix that?

Edit: I tried to make a whole new project following the steps but now from the beginning I can't run the game, it says "Not found the specified process" like in the demo.

 

[Dargor]

Make sure you are using RGSS202E.dll, rename it RGSS102E.dll and then open Game.ini and make sure that the Library is RGSS102E.dll.
Also, make sure you're using the RGSS2 Player (Game.exe from RPGVX) and not the RGSS1 Player (from RPGXP).
