Features

-Force Retina display (available on any desired device, please use with care, other technical problems can arise later, and all your graphics need to be twice bigger, which can lead to memory problems with iOS, and textures too big to not load... if you are not sure, leave it turned OFF).

-Global zoom (so you can fine-tune the end user experience by delivering, example, a bigger UI on smaller screens and a smaller UI on bigger screens).

How to Use
Just save the .js file into your js/plugins folder, and add it in the Plugin Manager. If you already have the YEP_CoreEngine plugin installed and active, you can turn it OFF and put mine 1 line either over or below. My plugin is an integrated mod of Yanfly's plugin that adds more functionality to his/her wonderful and very useful plugin.

Demo

100% free for any use on my side, but please confirm with Yanfle everything is ok. Credits required in your game though. That was quite complicated to pull off as my 3rd plugin ever for RPG Maker, I think I deserve proper credit.

Author's Notes
More devices coming soon. If any problem, please report and I will do my best within my free time. If you have some device to test and you are comfortable using this plugin, please post to confirm it works. Unfortunately I don't have access to all those devices!!!

It's a bit hard to believe not more RPG Maker MV developers show interest in this plugin mod I did and released! I guess most developers are still not very comfortable with compiling for other platforms, or their MV project is still too young to be exported.

Do not expect that the plugin mod will do everything for you though. Each extra platform/device supported is more work for the developer. But this tool will definetely help you and give you a solid base to work over.

I am personnally using (and developing) it for my own commercial game project.

I second your last post. Please keep bringing updates.

 

[DustyCat Media]

This is awesome!

So this will automatically "stretch" and/or scale the game's screen depending on the device, right? I will try and build a sample for the Ouya soon (that is, if this plugin would make any difference at all, screen size-wise)

You should change your file hosting site. Dropbox, Mediafire, Github, Pastebin, Pastee are all very good alternatives compared to the one you're using right now.

Sounds awesome! I will surely be needing this in the future. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! This is only my third plugin for RPG Maker MV. I didn't know RPG Maker 12 days ago, I still have many days on my trial. Will definetely buy it, it's a huge time-saver for me comparing to writing my own HTML5 engine I am extremely busy on my game development though, but this is easy for me to add support for devices. I also plan to make a Portrait mode to the current Landscape-only mode, to allow for more gameplay possibilities. Sometimes developers have different needs, sometimes only to be different from the majority of other RPG Maker productions. It can be useful example for some mini-games where it is better to flip your device, like a vertical space shooting minigame à la Space Invaders. I will also add a few other devices like Apple TV, Apple Watch (!), HD TV, 4K TV, 8K TV, Oculus Rift (when final specs become available), HTC Vive (SteamVR), and more upon the suggestions of the community and as they come out on the market.

Exactly. Since Ouya (bought back by Alibaba) is a console just like the WiiU base, the XBox One and the PlayStation 4, they all hook up to a TV. I will make an update soon for supporting HD TV 720p, FullHD TV 1080p, UltraHD TV 4K and Super Hi-Vision (7680x4320) TV 8K. I forgot

Let me know about your experience on Ouya! But supporting a device means some work. You can test on your computer to preview if there are adjustments to do. In super-high resolutions, everything stick to the bottom, and Actors appear VERY far away from Enemies, your title screen image and battlebacks may be too small. If you activate Retina, it will even be worst. I noticed also that with the NASTY Replace Window with Picture plugin, I made my windows background images to fit perfectly, but on other devices, they are either too big or too small and all need to be redone in order to support that specific device. So you may need to fix a few things here and there. Also note that activating Retina and zooming in by 200% makes the game look normal, but it loads twice bigger textures and a bigger canvas, so lag is to be expected and this is a total waste. Your game will run with much higher FPS if you are desactivating Retina and keeping the zoom at 100% (1, defaut value).

Let me know and please take pictures of your TV + Ouya and share with me whatever happens. Thanks a lot for this test!

If more people could validate testing on particular devices, feel welcome. Just don't expect to turn it on and have your game run instantly without problems. What I want to see is if there are black borders or if somethings displays incorrectly stretched.

Noted, updates and next stuff will use Mediafire.

Hehe thanks For commercial games, this is important. You don't want your game to look cheap.

 

[FlameEX]

There's no Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 :'(

 

[Michael Dionne]

There's no Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 :'(

7" or 10" model? They don't have the same resolution. Will add both anyway in my next update, so don't worry

 

[FlameEX]

7"

 

[Michael Dionne]

Sorry for delay, I am finishing 2 other programming projects then I come back on RPG Maker MV and add a few more devices

Hello,

What're your term of use ?

 

[Ennes7]

Is there Support for Xperia Z1?

 

[Danito]

Hey, Think you could add support for the asus zenfone 2, It would be easier for me to test if It was there... Or could someone tell me how to edit it myself? please and thank you ALSO This seems to make the GUI and event UI And just all UI in general disappear....

edit: even battle UI is gone.... Basically it makes everything disappear.

 

[Michael Dionne]

Hello,

What're your term of use ?

Use it as you wish, just mention my full name in your credits and give me a free copy of your game once it's released

Is there Support for Xperia Z1?

No, but you can add it yourself by modifying the plugin (explained roughly here below).

Hi, you can add it yourself. I lack of time right now, working on another game and engine until the full documentation becomes available in english for RPG Maker MV. Just open the .js file in any text or code editor (I use Notepad++), and look at the pattern. You just need to find the aspect ratio and resolution specs of your specific device, and add it there.

I never experienced any issue with the GUI/UI. It may be due to either the order of my plugin within others, or another conflicting plugin. Try desactivating other plugins, one by one, until you get your finger on the one that is conflicting with mine, and please report me. This is how I would proceed myself to debug it. I cannot test compatibility with EVERY other plugin available, and even less with each and every updates of those. Especially since I wait for the full english documentation to be available before buying a RPG Maker MV licence, so unfortunately I cannot test anymore (trial expired).

[Danito]

Ive turned off every plugin, 1 by 1 and none of them are causing it, this plugin standalone isnt working....

EDIT: I even tried opening the script and editing it by updating things from Yanflys engine core just incase it was out dated, still that same so No idea why it does that.

 

[Prescott]

I'm not JavaScripter, but wouldn't it be easier to just detect the device's resolution and stretch/resize everything to that resolution? That would give compatibility to all devices instead of picking certain ones and inputting them manually. I'm not sure if such a function exists to check what resolution you are running at... but it seems like there would be.

Either way, props on this, it will definitely come in handy to a large amount of developers.
