[XP] Custom Resolution

[Zexion]

I will actually add in an option that allows you to remove priority level 5 tiles from your game (effectively turning them into priority 4) which will help improve FPS.

That sounds great!

Not to mention, since you're not a noob that's going to do 1852x1256 size, it probably won't even need that option. Soooo hyped for the latest tilemap, it's already done wonders for my game ._. well the one map, lol. I am now official kk20 cheerleader, bust out tha pom poms y'all

I'd like to just retract my statement that the gain of 20 FPS was a mistake. I think I was using the wrong bitmap sizes and number of sprites. On actual inspection, removing one priority layer added about another 5 FPS. I'll still keep this feature (who knows, someone might find it useful).

Been having trouble trying to figure out shaking, but everything else is coming along smoothly.

@Wecoc:
Really? I must have been using an older version then. Or confusing it with another tilemap rewrite. I might have to check it again to see if it's more compatible with XP Ace.
And I'm pretty sure I made my v0.96 tilemap rewrite still work with $game_map[x,y,z] = t_id; I tested that extensively to ensure it worked. Drago is solely responsible v0.97. Perhaps you're talking about that one?

Hi. Would it be possible to change or create an addon for this script for it to take the height and width values from an external file? Like a notepad "resolution.txt" placed in game folder or something like that. I made a scaling interface for my little game and id like the player to be able to choose by himself which resolution he prefers to play at, without me decompressing the game and changing it for him every time. Script/addon would read two values from the file and assign them to two respective variables which IDs would be set in it. This way by reffering to these two variables the interface would know how it should adjust itself.

Try this script on my game.Script work so well.But Plane class is still 640 * 480 pixel.

Try on MOG scene menu...still the same.Plane class is still in 640 * 480 area pixel.

Can someone help me fix this?

It's hard to say what the real issue could be. The script already handles Planes by using a rewrite, drawing bitmaps that stretch to the resolution's size. The script also handles resizing viewports that are 640x480 in size.

Hello! So sorry post here after so many years! Im looking for a solution to my project and maybe you guys could help me.

Please, I would like to resize the screen but just stretch it. I saw that this script resize the game but my game was entirely made 640x480. So I just want to resize just like ALT+ ENTER does. Just stretch it.

Im asking because some players have bigger screens and 640x480 its too small. And some players dont want to play fullscreen (ALT + ENTER).

So it would be nice if I could give some options to the player to choose. For example:

640x480 default

1280 x 960

1400 x 1050

fullscreen (alt + enter)

Thats it. Need help xD

 Any ideas guys?

Thank you so much in advance!!

From what I remember, XP's game window doesn't actually stretch when you increase its width or height, unlike VXA. It instead just displays a black void beyond the 640x480 default. Fullscreen stretches because it's effectively changing your monitor's resolution to 640x480. So you're not really going to achieve what you want with the default engine.

You'll need to either use VXA's game executable (points at XPAce in signature) or use something like MKXP(-z)

Hello @KK20 thank you so much for answering!! I got it about the RMXP limitations... thank you for the info!

I took a look at the 2 options.

Could you help me some more about that ''VXA's game executable''? I didnt understand very well... sounds like something that can be done, I liked the idea. But I dont know how even to start.


About the MKXP(-z) I took a look and it seems like there is anything about screensize yet. So I think it would be harder to take this way.

Please let me know!
Thank you so much in advance!
