Bigger resolution

[imothep85]

Hi all, its possible to make backgrounds frames in 1024x768??

Well, you can MAKE the frames any size you want, they just won't fit on the screen...

The maximum resolution AGS supports is 800x600, so I guess the serious answer to your question, is 'No'. Images larger than your game resolution can be imported, but they'll be 'scrolling' rooms. The maximum height for a scrolling room is 1400 (at 320x2*0) or 2800 (at 640x4*0 or 800x600), and AFAIK there's no width limit (but really big rooms take a long time to compile, and to load, in my experience).

As Khris' post shows, the resolution limits are still true in the 3.0 betas - and I'd imagine the size limits are too.

The resolution limit has been mentioned on the forums many times before (as well as being pretty obvious, when there's no '1024x768' option in the editor...), scrolling rooms are covered in the manual, and the room size limit is in the BFAQ - did you not read those things (as it says to in the "READ BEFORE POSTING" thread), or are you asking something else?

Why would you want a bigger resolution anyway?  800x600 is already enough for making good looking 3d adventures. I don't really see the point in having 1024x768

I don't see the need either.
Even if you're using real photographs for your game, 800x600 is sure enough. Why so big?

Trimmed a few posts.
OK, there's no real need for higher than 800x600. Do we really need to discuss that here? At least wait for imothep85 to reply

Excerpt from AGS 3.0 thread:

Do you think we'll ever see 1024x768 support in AGS?

It would be technically easy enough to add, but at the moment the engine isn't really performant enough to run games at that resolution. It's something I'll look at for a future version, though.
