dapcat 6 Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) hello. i am starting out rpg maker vx ace and im running into the following issue: my screen size (using yanfly's ace core engine script) is 640x480, and i want to show a picture full screen, like a chapter cover. choosing upper left x=0 y=0 or center x=320 y=240 yield the same result: https://gyazo.com/799fa1eb952a68344ee1481bc5ab9f16 can anyone help me fix this? i dont have any issues with the title screen or game over pictures, so far only with the show picture command.

Makara 96 Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) Maybe that's happening because your background image is not 640x360? You need a bigger one! Edited October 21, 2016 by Flashy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dapcat 6 Posted October 21, 2016 Maybe that's happening because your background image is not 640x360? You need a bigger one! ive made a typo mistake where i shouldve put 640x480 instead and ive made the correction but the issue still stands, the image i have is the exact size of the screen im currently using: 'RESIZE_WIDTH = 640 RESIZE_HEIGHT = 480' and my image is a jpg 640x480 so idk what to do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seriel 830 Posted October 21, 2016 According to my fancy screen capture tool, the image you are trying to use is 544x416 (Standard VXAce resolution) Are you sure the image is 640x480? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What tool is that? looks very useful Also Dapcat, if you're unsure about where to see your image's size you can right click on the file, select properties, then details and the height and width should be there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seriel 830 Posted October 21, 2016 What tool is that? looks very useful It's ShareX And yeah, checking properties is a great way to see your images size if you're not sure.Worst case scenario you can resize it to 640 but it might look a bit weird depending on the image.

dapcat 6 Posted October 21, 2016 According to my fancy screen capture tool, the image you are trying to use is 544x416 (Standard VXAce resolution) Are you sure the image is 640x480? i think the reason your software says my image is smaller is exactly because rpg maker isnt displaying it properly, which is the issue https://gyazo.com/72be8a806c133a6b7d4e415db64b2614 its in portuguese but you can see there, 640x480 altho its interesting that thats the size its showing it, the original max resolution. maybe removing the resizing would fix the issue but i would honestly like to know if theres a way to fix this and keep the bigger size lsgdjh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tarq 746 Posted October 21, 2016 No, the engine doesn't downscale images. Not by default, at least, and not without being told to do so. I think the best thing at this point is to upload your project to dropbox and let us look around ourselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Makara 96 Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) Darq is right, you should upload it and let us have a look. I tried to replicate it somehow and show image seems to be working perfectly fine here with a 640x480 res and with a 640x480 size image no matter what. Maybe you changed some option besides the resolution settings on yanfly's ace core engine as you said you were using, or another script could be bugging it. Are you using any other scripts? Also if you're using yanfly's ace core engine just for the resolution, then you could use a script that only changes that in particular.

Seriel 830 Posted October 21, 2016 Got it! Basically your starting map (The one with the event in it) is too small. It's the minumum possible size so it's only showing 544x416 pixels onscreen. Change your map size to literally anything bigger (This worked for me, but anything big will work and won't make a difference:) You should see the map is much bigger now: And then it works! See the first spoiler to see the finished result. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
