I am just a beginner, but I am very interested in making my own adventure. I have a lot of good ideas, pictures and so on, but not the technical knowledge, to make my own GUI.

Therefore I want to use the Monkey Island 1/2 GUI (I love these games and also the GUI). So I looked up in the internet, but only found GUIs of the original games in 320x200. They are nice, but I want the same GUI in a higher resolution (800x600) -> I think, 1024x768 is not possible.

I tried to include the MI1/2 GUI in 800x600, but nothing happend. When testing my first demo, it was still in 320x200  :'(
Is there a MI1/2 GUI available in 800x600 ? If not, can anyone help me to make one ? Please !!!

I don't like to use other GUIs, because I am a very big fan of Monkey Island (especially part 1) and it was always a dream of me, once to make my own adventure with such a GUI :-)

People will probably play a MI game whetever.. but I beg you not to use 800x600 :P

And no, I don't think there already is one at that res.. because most people would do a MI game in the original resolutions (320x200 for the forst two, 640x480 for CMI or EMI style).  But I think it's only really a matter of doing new high res graphics, so perhaps someone will help you do one.

I just pop in to say that 400x300/800x600 modes were added just because of frequent requests, they're not really recommended, especially for first-time-games.

The reason why I prefer to use a higher resolution is, that it is easier to include pictures and persons with a better look.
320x200 is a very low resolution, you can see all the pixels.
When you look at the GUI, you can see every pixel in every word. That's the classic style, but I think that the same game in a higher resolution would also be quite good. I don't want to change the gameplay, just the resolution. ::)

I think a GUI with the same size, but with a higher resolution looks better.
But how can I make a MI GUI in 640x400 or 800x600 ? Can somebody help me ? Please !!!

you'll need to remake all the words if you dont want pixels (which you'll still see any way) might as well just copy + paste all the code from the others

Yeah, it totally is.  All the pixels are visible.

Well, what do you expect?  Pictures aren't cool unless they have invisible pixels!

It's not the images that's at fault - it's your monitor. Just give it a good whacking, and some of the pixels'll turn invisible.
