Hey, the problem im currently having is that i want the user to be able to change resoultions at will. Is there any extension that allows that? also, i need my frames to resize themselves to fit the current resolution. for example, if the game's resolution is 800x600 and the level's width and height are 1024x768, then it should automatically readjust itself to fit 800x600. it has to be possible.
i did click on the 'resize to fill current screen size' option but it doesnt seem to be working.
frame size is 1024x768 while the current resolution is 640x480
If you're on MMF 1.5 or MMF2, which I'm assuming you are, then you should use the "Change Resolution Mode" under Window options for the game. This will make the game change the screen resolution to whatever the game resolution is, giving full screen. Use "Resize display to fill window size" only if you want to stretch and in most cases, distort the picture, to make sure that the game will fit onto the resolution without black bars. (Avoid this by just using established resolutions like 320x240, 640x480, 800x600, 1204x768, etc.
As long as you have "Direct X" disabled, which you pretty much should. Then under "Storyboard Options" and "Screen" in the event editor, you can change the game from Windowed or Fullscreen in-game.
The 'window control' object should allow you to change a windows size. I don't know if it works as well with maximized games.
If not perhaps using a subapp will work better?
If you have The games factory 1 you can't use subapps
Yeah, I have MMF 1.5 and I was doing exactly wt BrandonC said but for some reason it wouldnt work. Then, I reduced the size of my frame to 640x480 and the game window size was 800x600, and it worked fine. But for some reason, it wouldnt work when my frame size was 1024x768 and game window size was 800x600. Maybe MMF cant shrink?
Anyway, that still doesnt explain how to change resolutions at runtime tho. Guess, Ill have to keep that feature out of the game. The window object, didnt really work for me. Maybe its cause it is full screen like you said. And when i try to change the resolution with DXres or Display object (I think), it either crashes or doesnt work.
There was an object for The games factory 1 called display properties that actually changed the desktop resolution (at runtime) instead of changing just the game window. But i'm not sure that was made for mmf1.5?
The resizeable applications tutorial on the clickteam website mite help, it helped me out with adjusting the window size and resolution to match the player's Here's the link...
