OTHER Rm2k Tools - Windowed Mode

[Dev_With_Coffee 2]

This is a method using a helper program, see working in this video:

 

First download the program through this link:

Rm2k-Game-Windowed

MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

 

I have tested on Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10, still plan to test on Windows 7 and Windows XP.

If there is a virus alert or any problem, please don't run the program, take a screenshot of the error, delete the program and let me know here.

Now follows a brief tutorial of the options you can use with this program.
You should put this program inside your game folder, and instead of starting RPG_RT.exe, you should start Game.exe.

You can change the program name to the title of your game.

Through this program the game will run in windowed mode with a resolution of 640x480 and you cannot switch to full screen with F4 or 320x240 with the F5 key.

To enable any of the keys, customize the settings in RPG_RT.ini.
 

Enable Function-Keys:

Enable F4 Key (Toggle fullscreen/windowed):

F4Enabled=1

 

Enable F5 Key (Window size 1x/2x):

F5Enabled=1

 

Enable F12 Key (Restart Game/Goto TitleScreen):

F12Enabled=1

 

Fullscreen Mode:

To enable full screen, if you want the player to never switch to windowed mode, just include this in the RPG_RT.ini:

Fullscreen=1

 

 

Dynamic Change Icon:

The Game.exe will dynamically replace the icon in the window and taskbar without affecting RPG_RT.exe. If you prefer to place a custom icon, just copy your own icon into the game folder and rename it to RPG_RT.ico.

If you prefer the game to have the default icon, enable in RPG_RT.ini:

Icondefault=1

 

 

Splash Image:

To make a splash image appear before starting the game place a PNG format image in the folder and rename it Splash.png. The image doesn't need to be transparent, just include the #000 color in all the points that the executable itself will make transparent.
