Full screen.. graphics problem

[wandering-warrior]

Hi guys.... so i was testing the game in full screen... and i noticed that the whole picture was stretched..... and therefore quality was reduced.....

Is there anyway i get the same small 640x480 screen while in full screen..... and the quality remains the same..... because i was trying to make a video and in fullscreen graphics are bad

EDIT:; my monitor resolution is 1024x768

Hi... so i used... it... did increase a little quality... but what i actually wanted was that the screen size remain same and it'd go full screen ( meaning, except the screen excess part becomes black )

you need to modify the settings from your monitor to be able to play correctly, not in rpgmaker.

 

[wandering-warrior]

So what settings should i modify actually???

 

[Pegasus]

i don't remember which setting it was on my monitor because it was a long time which I set it. but try to make a search on google or try to play with the settings to see.

This is what this thing does, since I saw that topic you're talking about :X

And someone made a script for it so it'll be automatic.

wait, so what you wanted is automatic full screen or what?

Oh wait, I think I know what you mean. Gotta test something.

The RPG Maker VX full screen type where it's the same resolution but fills the excess screen black.

 

[wandering-warrior]

I just want the screen size to remain same and all the side and up and down parts to turn black making it look like full screen

As in letterboxed fullscreen. While you can change that in your graphics card's settings utility (look for "display scaling"), you shouldn't need to for video recording, since full-screen mode changes your monitor resolution to 640x480, which is VX Ace's native resolution. Any quality problems are likely with the monitor or codec and not the game screen itself.

On my computer, I right-click on the destop, go to Graphic Properties, Panel Fit, and click Maintain Aspect Ratio. It solves the stretched, squashed-sprite look for me.

 

[wandering-warrior]

Sorry for the late reply.....

So im using hd 7850.... and i don't see an option " maintain aspect ratio" in catalyst control center "

You should probably take this problem to the forums of your graphic driver. No one here can tell you how to work your own monitor, so please either google or go to their forum instead.

Closed. This is not a VX Ace support question anymore.
