Screen Resolution Script v0.4, RGSS2/RPG Maker VX Options

[ccoa]

Thanks. That's going to be a tricky one to fix without VX. It may have to wait until it's released.

Well, i have some code i can share if you want, but the problem is, it only works with one resolution, 480x320, here's the script i currently used, basically converted an RMXP script i found.

CODE

module Setup
  RESOLUTION = [Graphics.width.to_f, Graphics.height.to_f]
  def self.x_value
    return RESOLUTION[0] / 544
  end
  
  def self.y_value
    return RESOLUTION[1] / 416
  end
  
  def self.c_value
    return ( ( RESOLUTION[0]  / 544 ) + ( RESOLUTION[1]  /  416 ) ) / 2
  end

  def self.h_value
    return RESOLUTION[0]
  end

  def self.v_value
    return RESOLUTION[1]
  end

  def self.variance
    return ( ( ( RESOLUTION[0] /  544 ) + ( RESOLUTION[1]  /  416 ) ) / 2 ) - 1
  end

end

class Spriteset_Map
  
  alias resolution_initialize initialize
  def initialize
    @viewport1 = Viewport.new ( 0, 0, Setup.h_value, Setup.v_value )
    @viewport2 = Viewport.new ( 0, 0, Setup.h_value, Setup.v_value )
    @viewport3 = Viewport.new ( 0, 0, Setup.h_value, Setup.v_value )
    resolution_initialize
  end
  
end

class Game_Map

  def scroll_down ( distance )
    if loop_vertical?
      @display_y += distance
      @display_y %= @map.height + 3 * ( 256 * Setup.y_value )
      @parallax_y += distance
    else
      last_y = @display_y
      @display_y = [@display_y + distance, (height + 3 - 13)  *  ( 256 * Setup.y_value ) ].min
      @parallax_y += @display_y - last_y
    end
  end

  def scroll_right ( distance )
    if loop_horizontal?
      @display_x += distance
      @display_x %= @map.width + 2 * ( 256 * Setup.h_value )
      @parallax_x += distance
    else
      last_x = @display_x
      @display_x = [@display_x + distance, (width + 2 - 17)  *  ( 256 * Setup.x_value ) ].min
      @parallax_x += @display_x - last_x
    end
  end
  
  def start_scroll ( direction, distance, speed )
    @scroll_direction = direction
    @scroll_rest = distance * ( 256 *  Setup.c_value )
    @scroll_speed = speed
  end
  
end

class Game_Character

  alias resolution_initialize initialize
  def initialize
    resolution_initialize
    @move_speed = 4 + ( Setup.variance * 2 )
  end
  
  def moving?
    return ( @real_x != @x * ( 256 * Setup.x_value ) or @real_y != @y * ( 256 * Setup.y_value ) )  
  end

  def moveto(x, y)
    @x = x % $game_map.width
    @y = y % $game_map.height
    @real_x = @x * ( 256 * Setup.x_value )
    @real_y = @y * ( 256 * Setup.y_value )
    @prelock_direction = 0
    straighten
    update_bush_depth
  end
  
  def screen_x
    return ( $game_map.adjust_x ( @real_x ) + 8007 )  / 8 - 1000 + ( 16  * Setup.x_value )
  end

  def screen_y
    y = ( $game_map.adjust_y ( @real_y ) + 8007 )  / 8 - 1000 + ( 32  * Setup.y_value )
    y -= 4 unless object?
    if @jump_count >= @jump_peak
      n = @jump_count - @jump_peak
    else
      n = @jump_peak - @jump_count
    end
    return y - (@jump_peak * @jump_peak - n * n) / 2
  end
  
  def update_animation
    speed = @move_speed + (dash? ? 1 : 0)
    if @anime_count > 18 - speed * ( 2 - ( Setup.variance * 2 ) )
      if not @step_anime and @stop_count > 0
        @pattern = @original_pattern
      else
        @pattern = (@pattern + 1) % 4
      end
      @anime_count = 0
    end
  end
  
  def update_jump
    @jump_count -= 1
    @real_x = ( @real_x * @jump_count + @x * ( 256  * Setup.x_value ) )  /  ( @jump_count + 1 )
    @real_y = ( @real_y * @jump_count + @y * ( 256 * Setup.y_value) )  /  ( @jump_count + 1 )
    update_bush_depth
  end
  
  def update_move
    distance = 2 ** @move_speed
    distance *= 2 if dash?
    @real_x = [@real_x - distance, @x * ( 256  * Setup.x_value )].max if @x * ( 256  * Setup.x_value ) < @real_x
    @real_x = [@real_x + distance, @x * ( 256  * Setup.x_value )].min if @x * ( 256  * Setup.x_value ) > @real_x
    @real_y = [@real_y - distance, @y * ( 256 * Setup.y_value)].max if @y * ( 256 * Setup.y_value) < @real_y
    @real_y = [@real_y + distance, @y * ( 256 * Setup.y_value)].min if @y * ( 256 * Setup.y_value) > @real_y
    update_bush_depth unless moving?
    if @walk_anime
      @anime_count += 1.5
    elsif @step_anime
      @anime_count += 1
    end
  end
  
end


class Game_Player < Game_Character
  
  CENTER_X = ( ( ( 544 / 2 ) * Setup.x_value ) - 48) * 8
  CENTER_Y = ( ( ( 416  / 2  ) * Setup.y_value ) - 48) * 8
  
  def center ( x, y )
    display_x = x * ( 256  * Setup.x_value ) - CENTER_X
    unless $game_map.loop_horizontal?
      max_x = ( $game_map.width - 17 ) * ( 256  * Setup.x_value )
      display_x = [0, [display_x, max_x].min].max
    end
    display_y = y * ( 256  * Setup.y_value ) - CENTER_Y
    unless $game_map.loop_vertical?
      max_y = ( $game_map.height - 13 ) * ( 256  * Setup.y_value )
      display_y = [0, [display_y, max_y].min].max
    end
    $game_map.set_display_pos ( display_x, display_y )
  end
  
end

The problem code that makes it only one resolution is this:

CODE

  def scroll_down ( distance )
    if loop_vertical?
      @display_y += distance
      @display_y %= @map.height + 3 * ( 256 * Setup.y_value )
      @parallax_y += distance
    else
      last_y = @display_y
      @display_y = [@display_y + distance, (height + 3 - 13)  *  ( 256 * Setup.y_value ) ].min
      @parallax_y += @display_y - last_y
    end
  end

  def scroll_right ( distance )
    if loop_horizontal?
      @display_x += distance
      @display_x %= @map.width + 2 * ( 256 * Setup.h_value )
      @parallax_x += distance
    else
      last_x = @display_x
      @display_x = [@display_x + distance, (width + 2 - 17)  *  ( 256 * Setup.x_value ) ].min
      @parallax_x += @display_x - last_x
    end
  end

I did a quick fix for the resolution i was in, the width + 2 for scrolling right, and height + 3 for scrolling down, the problem is, i tried to calculate a formula for this, but it doesn't seem constant with different resolutions, this script works absolutely fine for 480x320 (GBA res)

About a week ago, I found a Resolution Script on a french site; I tried it and it really sets VX resolution to 640x480 without any black bars; so yes it's possible.

Could you please post it here?

[ccoa]

...Mine does that.

Uh the black bars go away if you set the resolution to 640x480 simply because that's the max resolution of RMVX. You start getting black bars if you make any kind of resolution lower than that. You don't need a special script for it.

[dragonheartman]

Wow, very nice script. The fact that RGSS2 allows you to change the screen resolution makes me want to use VX.

[ccoa]

There's a screen resolution script for XP, too. It's just more complicated in RGSS, but that doesn't really matter to the end user, only the scripter.

[Chipnyu]

Now I haven't scripted in a while, but when I tried out your script, I got this error:

???? 'scriptname' ? 117 ??? Type Error ????????

undefined superclass 'Scene_Base'

...What is this?

[ccoa]

Are you trying to use this in XP?

[Yuu]

i thinks is a nice script but i am a noob =(...where i need put this script?after what?

[ccoa]

Insert a new section right before the section titled Main. Paste it there.

[Yuu]

Oh thanks! ^^ and...i have this in my main:

#==============================================================================
# ■ Main
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 　各クラスの定義が終わった後、ここから実際の処理が始まります。
#==============================================================================

unless Font.exist?("UmePlus Gothic")
print "UmePlus Gothic フォントが見つかりません。"
exit
end

begin
Graphics.freeze
$scene = Scene_Title.new
$scene.main while $scene != nil
Graphics.transition(30)
rescue Errno::ENOENT
filename = $!.message.sub("No such file or directory - ", "")
print("ファイル #{filename} が見つかりません。")
end

in what part i need put this ?

Graphics.resize_screen(WIDTH, HEIGHT)

[ERZENGEL]

After begin is the best place

[ccoa]

No, no, no, no. Not in Main, above Main. Right click in the editor on Main and select Insert. That will insert a new section in the script editor. Paste this script in that new section.

[Yuu]

yeah i understand....its ok, works fine thank you =) !!

i have now my fullscreen without any black bars

[MISTER BIG T]

Can this make resolution larger, like 1280x1024?

[ccoa]

According to people who have used it, it apparently maxes out at 640x480. I'll look into resolving this once Enterbrain gets off their collective asses and releases VX already.

[Daray]

First, sorry for my bad english. Location is Germany but i try to handle my description . So thx for that script, i love it. The window size is smaller than 640 pixel and it looks better that way. All works fine, but theres one problem with the battle windows (scene). First i tried the rmvx battleback. At 640 pixel the wave is inside this resolution, so i think the reason for the enterbrain 466 pixel resolution is to hide the wave below the black border.
One solution is to set the wave from 8 to 0, result is standing still picture but looks crap.
The second one i tried is the actual map as battleback. Not useful for sideview battle system, in most cases the enemy or your party appear on tiles like wall, trees etc.
Last but not least i will use the rmxp battlebacks, there 50 of them in the rtp and they look okay so far. Problem is the resolution of 640 x 320. I stretched them to 640 x 480 but looks bad also. So i switched back to the height of 320. But then the background of the battle windows is black. Is it possible to make a sniplet of code which can implement a background picture below the battleback with the resolution of 460 x 160 to fill the screen?
Next problem is a bit difficult to describe. In case the windows in the battle scene switched, the target window overlays the status window. At the resolutio of 640 theres now on the right side a transparency effect of about 30 pixel i think, where you can see the mana bar of the status window below shining trough when the target window appears.

I hope i described it right, and yes i know easiest way to handle the background is using a 640 x 480 battleback. But i try using the ones from the rmxp rtp. And i cant find the problem of the tranparency effect between the status and the target window in the battle.

So thx for help and any suggestions od feedback, greetings Daray.

This is really getting too difficult to troubleshoot blind this way. I'm sorry, but I probably can't help anyone until VX is released. It's just too much of a pain to try to track down bugs in code you can't run.
