Setting up two screens

[SamusK]

I've run onto a snag while creating the bottom screen for Project RPGXP-DS. I am unable to create a window on the bottom. I want to make the window usuable like the Menu Scene only at the bottom. When you "click" on the bottom menu, I want the top to darken a bit (not too hard on my part) and make the focus go to the menu on the bottom.

Anyone that knows how to set this up will be greatly appreciated.

I'm sure you'll have to create new viewports. You'll probably have to resize the map viewports to 640x240 and make a new viewport for the 2nd screen the same size. But it might be less simple than that...

Dargor gave me an idea for the problem.
Find a script or create a script which increase the window size, but it doesn't stretch the map or graphics, and do the exact Dargor said.

But hey, Im not sure if thats possible, but good luck with it.

Correct me if i'm wrong but resizing the viewport doesn't stretch neither the graphics nor the map. When resizing the viewport, you should have something like that.

Yep, you just have to change a few hard-coded values for scrolling, and it should work.

Indeed, you'll have to change a couple of things in Game_Map and Game_Player.
Take a look at Sewlyn's widescreen script for that, i'm sure it'll help.

good advice guys.

@Dargor, I have that viewport setup like that only I need to make the scroll variables dynamic. Right now it only works if the dimensions are 30 x 30. I'll have to look at the wide screen script to get a better idea on that.

I appreciate the help. It looks like this script might draw more attention then i had originally imagined.
