Resolution change

[mufffin]

Hi guys i have to make my game when played to be at a resolution of 320X240, i know its worthless due to its small size but its really gonna be helpfull for me.Any scripts existing out there that can change the size from default to small resolution such as this? any help would be really appreciated.

try

Graphics.resize(320,240)

this.
ln main above begin. But you have to edit all the other stuff too :smile:

try
Code:
Graphics.resize(320,240)

I tried it and it does change the resolution, now i got problem as the screen was supposed to be compress to resolution of 320x240 but remains the same. I have trouble viewing my character and the screen was horrible.

The problem with that is that it only change the size of the game window.
You'll have to change a couple of variables in the script editor to center the view and the player.

Take a look at this thread, I'm sure it can help you.

I didnt notice they have script for this, someone please give me the link :D for the script. Ill try to make changes and post a screen shot after this,thanks guys.

No no, there are variables you have to change in the default scripts.
And usualy, people who post in RGSS support post here because they want to resolve the problem themselves

You might want to change this in Game_Player

CENTER_X = (544 / 2 - 16) * 8     # Screen center X coordinate * 8
  CENTER_Y = (416 / 2 - 16) * 8     # Screen center Y coordinate * 8

and hange a couple of things in setup_scroll, from Game_Map

def setup_scroll
    @scroll_direction = 2
    @scroll_rest = 0
    @scroll_speed = 4
    @margin_x = (width - 17) * 256 / 2      # Screen non-display width /2
    @margin_y = (height - 13) * 256 / 2     # Screen non-display height /2
  end

Hi Dargor I did change the resolution for the window but I notice the picture and message box remains the same as before as well as the tilesets. I was wondering if the pictures, tiles and message boxes were also seperate and have to make their own changes too.

You're trying to make it like a GBA game, correct? (At least, I assume so, considering the fact that you are mentioned other stuff's size and a GBA sized screen) Anyway, if it's anything like RMXP, you'll have to add something like "self.zoom =" whatever you want to most of the things that have sprites. You'll also have to edit windows, as that isn't done for you. Finally, you'll have to edit the (hidden) tilemap class so that you can use zoom in that too.

@glitchfinder: Yes indeed youre right but its much more... example: being able to resize the screen to small size will make the game more faster (especially with big maps and lots of events). I notice there are so much things involved aside from simply adjusting the window height. I hope somebody can make some adjustment on it. :smile:

I've got something that does it in XP, but the basic mechanics invocled are different for VX. I'd recommend looking in the help file for zoom, and it should show you which sprites are able to use the zoom function.
