Enlarging Screen - Skywyre v10

[Xlithan]

Hi all. I'm trying to enlarge the screen, but I think I may be missing something when updating some of the sizes in the code. I get the larger screen, but the map doesn't stop scrolling, it keeps scrolling until about 4 tiles in, and then stops.

What values do I need to update to get it to work properly with a larger screen? Thanks.

That won't work for this engine.

@xlithan It works lol. I tested it :P

Either way this isn't what I wanted I just wanted to enlarge the screen. I've figured it out. After you've changed the values of Max_MapX, Max_MapY, and changed the twip values of frmMain.width/height, you need to go around and look for any 800x600 sizes relating to the interface. It's all good.

Can anybody tell me where the code is for drawing this shadow on the top and bottom of the screen?

Never mind found it.

Public Sub DrawGUI()

' render shadow
'EngineRenderRectangle Tex_GUI(27), 0, 0, 0, 0, 800, 64, 1, 64, 800, 64
'EngineRenderRectangle Tex_GUI(26), 0, 600 - 64, 0, 0, 800, 64, 1, 64, 800, 64
RenderTexture Tex_GUI(23), 0, 0, 0, 0, 1024, 64, 1, 64
RenderTexture Tex_GUI(22), 0, 768 - 64, 0, 0, 1024, 64, 1, 64


Where I have 1024, that was 800. My screen is 1024x768

You can always use

RenderTexture Tex_GUI(22), 0, frmMain.ScaleHeight - 64, 0, 0, frmMain.ScaleWidth, 64, 1, 64

Just make sure the form scalemode is Pixels and not Twips

That works too :) That would work good for if you had an option to select different screen sizes.
