Title: Upgrading the Game Resolution
Post by: Samwise on Wed 25/10/2006 15:06:31
Hello,

I'm working on a 640X480 resolution game.  Since my characters are high-res ones (based on real video), I thought of upgrading all the game graphics to 800X600.   My problem is that it's messing with all the previous coordinates I defined for the game.

Does anybody know how can I change the game resolution, and change all the coordinates proportionally?

I'm pretty sure that's not possible.
640x480 is based on 320x200, while 800x600 is based on 400x300, so you'd have to change everything manually.
However, upgrading from 640 to 800 won't make a big difference, especially if the characters are captured from real video.

Isn't 640x480 HIGH-res already?

640X480 is not terrible, but when I tested the character animations (which are about 500 pixles high in their original size) in 800X600, everything looked a lot better.

Isn't there an option within AGS or a module that can handle this transition in a smooth way?  Changing EVERYTHING manually will be an extremely long proccess...

No, there's no easy way at the moment.

You should have done more planning before making your game...
