Hello from Russia!  :D  

I interesting in Fullscreen in 4:3 on 16:9 monitor (with black stripes on the sides). 
I've tried various scripts that change the window size (for example 1366x1024) but if i press alt + enter fullscreen shows me a stretched image 16:9.
How i can save 4:3 ratio in full screen...

It all depends on computer resolution and not something you can really control...

I do think that if you don't use any FS script (or any script that allows you to get past the maximum resolution set by the engine which was actually just 640x480 with the default being 544x416) and just use the default full screen of Ace, it uses the 4:3 ratio...

I've tested it on my own Ace games on my laptop which uses a 16:9 screen ratio and they do seem to retain the 4:3 ratio in full screen mode.

Why this as I wrote in the header

Clean game

For Fullscreen i use ALT+ENTER

"Launch in Full Screen" shows the same result

In my case, I had to tweak my monitor settings to display at fixed ratio. My default settings were at "Large" display which resulted in a distorted image when I used Alt-Enter.

So, I guess this is not something that can be controlled by an application (at least not easily).

Apparently, it's true. Sadly. I would like to have a normal full screen

RMMV
The display changes depend on the monitor interpolation electronic and the graphic card's driver.


Unless your monitor specifically has a setting for it, you can't force the display to 4:3 on a widescreen.


Some grafic drivers do have such a setting, and in that case it's easier - but there is the additional problem that you need to go to a standard windows resolution like 640x480 before the grafic driver can handle special settings.

There's nothing in there about it being a clean game

Then I guess maybe my graphics driver just had that setting. :)

Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
How many parameters is 'too many'??
Yay, now back in action Happy Christmas time, coming back!






Back in action to develop the indie game that has been long overdue... Final Fallacy. A game that keeps on giving! The development never ends as the developer thinks to be the smart cookie by coming back and beginning by saying... "Oh bother, this indie game has been long overdue..." How could one resist such? No-one c
