I'm making my first AGS game, and I've set everything to make it a high color, 640 x 400 game, and whenever I test out my game on my computer, everything looks great!
However whenever I or anyone else download the exe file from the internet, it plays the game at the 320 x 200 resolution, only in full screen mode, so it makes the game look very, very pixelated (which rather defeats the purpose of the high color game).
Is there something I'm doing wrong that's making it want to play the game at the lower resolution? (I looked through all the manuals, and can't find anything to explain it.)
Thanks in advance for any help.
Before you play it, run the SETUP exe and make sure its set to the correct resolution and click save. This should run the game in the proper resolution.
I've done that, and it does work fine. Whenever I run the exe in my 'Compiled' folder, it works flawlessly. But If I move the file anywhere else (another folder, or uploading it to the net) it inexplicably drops right back down to 320. I tried putting the setup stuff in the folder with it, but that didn't change anything.
when you upload you need to keep the winsetup.exe with the game.exe file so then a player can use the setup.
after you run the setup I think it creates a file called acsetup.cfg, which I think stores the setup info in it so the best Idea when distributing a game is to zip up all the files in the compiled folder, not just the game.exe
After that it should work
hope it helps
