RMMV Trouble getting screen to upscale in web build.

violinistsMetronome · Jul 5, 2022

I'm trying to get a game to upscale from 320x240 to 640x480. SRD's Game Upgrade plugin, in combination with Yanfly's Core Engine, works okay for this in the desktop version, but not the browser one. I've also tried Helladen's Screen Manager with no luck. I have the viewport dimensions set to 640x480 in the game's itch.io page, but it just stays at the smaller resolution.

Is there a way to update the screen size in-browser? I could resize some of my images instead and maybe use a camera zoom plugin for the tiles and sprites, but it would be nice to keep the file sizes smaller.

do you want a larger screen size (means more of the map on the screen), or do you want a zoom of the old screen size?

Those are two different things, and I guess that some part of your problem is that you mixed up those two things, especially since a larger screen size is usually very easy.

I don't know if the following idea works, but what if you don't use any plugins to zoom but instead edit the index.html to force the browser to zoom?

I've designed a page, where buttons look good when the browser zoom is at 90%, but by default other users view it at 100/125%+ in their browser which is resulting an overlap in buttons and input fo...

Good news: I got the game to scale up. I also figured out how to reposition it. It was rendering halfway up the frame at first.

HTML:

<body style="background-color: black; zoom: 2;
        -ms-zoom: 2;
        -webkit-zoom: 2;
        -moz-transform: scale(2,2);
        -moz-transform-origin: center;
        position: relative;
        top: 232px;" >

Bad news: Mouse controls aren't working properly now.

EDIT: Maybe the simplest solution right now might just be to keep the browser version of the game at 320x240 and recommend that the player zoom in the web page. I just tried that and it seems to work fine.
