Screen Size Increase

Recommended Posts

Hello,

In the past, lots of source edits were released on how to make your map size increase. But all failed, as far as i know.

I need a source edit which increases the map size (not stretching!!). As in, not full screen. I just want a source which increase the map size along with totle tiles used in one map. A little increase in both height and width. Which means more space for left menu and chat box.

I know this isn't like a 'request source' place. But if you can give me any information about this, it would by awesome. If I missed a topic in source tutorials then please let me know. Any type of help is greatly appreciated. If anything, this is an appeal to whom it may concern that we need a complete, step-by-step (<–bbay step) source tutorial on how to increase the map size (as mentioned above).

-Many Thanks :)

Its hard to explain what i'm looking for.

I need basically the window to be bigger. lol. This is as simple as that. So I can have more space on the map, bigger side menu bar, and bigger chat box.

This is what I need. Please point me to the correct path (no homo). :)

Tried it, didn't work. I know many peopel already posted that it does. It doesn't for me. And no one is posting on the topic so no way to get any type of support. I was so mad I deleted the entire edit I did by reading this tutorial. :(

-Thanks though

I did try it on a fresh ES. When it didn't work, I deleted it, as in the entire ES folder.

I will try it again if you want. And also on 2.7 if it still doesn't work on ES. But after I re-install windows. Its been almost a month and my desktop looks like a trash can.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK. Forget adding it yourself. I downloaded the Big CLIENT!. Its big, and scrolling is 1\. I set it to 0\. Your window is big, but the map accessable to you now is back to the normal size. And the extra tiles are now shaded with grey.

Hard to explain. Turn on big client with scrolling=0\. You will get this glitch. Now, I will take this opportunity to make what I want more clear. You see the grey part, I want that part accessable with tiles in them. This is what I am looking for.

PLzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Brains of Eclipse, come gimmi a hand. As of now, I will try my best to tweke the client side, and fail. :(

So go as far right-down as you can. Turn on your location thingy. It will read X:19, Y:14\. I need to make this bigger. And then hopefully something will work. Help.

-Thanks

sorry, my bad, they dont use that way in the client anymore, its now send from server, my mistake xD

in modgeneral, server sided, you will see this:
```
If GetVar(App.Path & "\Data.ini", "CONFIG", "Scrolling") = 0 Then
        IS_SCROLLING = 0
        MAX_MAPX = 19
        MAX_MAPY = 14
    Else
        IS_SCROLLING = 1
        MAX_MAPX = GetVar(App.Path & "\Data.ini", "CONFIG", "ScrollX")
        MAX_MAPY = GetVar(App.Path & "\Data.ini", "CONFIG", "ScrollY")
    End If

```
i guess you see what ya have to do yes? XD

Hello,

OK, everything is A-OK. Except 1 little thing. lol  XD

Ok. WHen you choose 24 Max_X. It leaves 1 last line of tiles out. So it makes sense to choose Max_X to 25 right? To fill the entire map. OK. From what I understand. It puts the 25 tiles to fill the map, good. But the coords start from 0 (zero) right? So the code checks the code from beginning (which is zero by deafult) to the Max_X. Which is 25\. So in other words, it checks from 0-15\. This is 26 tiles.

Look at the attached pic please. The text you see is me. I am standing 1 tile outside of the map,l going off the screen. I tried fixing this check and I failed. I know its something really small and silly which I am over looking. Or my entire assumption of how the source works is wrong.  :embarrassed:

Please give me a hand in this, last time. :)

In the meantime, I am using this source which I added in in the middle:
```
If Player(MyIndex).X = 25 And Player(MyIndex).Dir = DIR_RIGHT Then
  Call WarpTo(1, 24, Player(MyIndex).Y)
ElseIf Player(MyIndex).Y = 19 And Player(MyIndex).Dir = DIR_DOWN Then
  Call WarpTo(1, Player(MyIndex).X, 18)
End If

```1 is the map number, I just need to replace this with the command which gets the current map number.

But this is not the PERFECT solution, you know what I mean? I was hoping somehow to edit the source so the player doesn't go off the page. And this goes for both the right side of the screen and the bottom part of the screen. So for both X and Y.

-Thanks  :azn:

As if that actually worked when YOU said. I tried that before and the screen showed me 1 less line of tiles on the right.

I wasted an hour for no reason. Next time i'll ask you without thinking. lol

-Thanks again man :)

Hello,
Reference: http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,41446.0.html

I got the Big-Client (comes with Eclipse Stable) working the way I wanted it to. But I want to make the screen more wider. Now the NewX=12, after putting the above code in. Which has already been palced in the Big-Client. But I want to make it more wider.

I changed all the 12's to 14's. And thanged the MAX_MAPX = 28\. After doing this, nothing happened. Nothing changed. Am I misunderstanding something or did I miss something?

If someone can give me a hand, I would greately appreciate it.

-Thanks in advance.
