Yeah thanks again my friend I had already done that before he posted it
It does actually remove the options and run the game naively depending on your screen possibilities
The question I had was he says the game has options to run the game in new resolutions in the options it does not
I said previously this would be very impressive but I realize it was just a language miscommunication
I have some understanding of most programming languages and knew that this programming like most grabs the res from your operating system so whilst I may have always been getting a x1440 res it would not have been showing in the options as the menu was not written to reflect that
As I said miscommunication
Sadly I was not criticizing him just asking for a clearer communication but I will leave the discussion as he seemed to be annoyed so I am not sure he wanted constructive comment
Thank you for your help
Why am I annoyed? I am not annyoed, nor did I act annoyed.
The problem is that everyone seems to think he/she knows something and is mixing everything up, stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with one another.
This is what my preferences screen looks like. You see there are the options to use 1920x1080.
I know what I coded and I'm pretty sure it is working for the huge majority, or we would see a lot more complaints, because one thing is for sure in this forum - if something even a tiny little something is not working, there will be complaints.
This is the code that is executed when the game starts:
Python:
init -5 python:
from time import time
import datetime
import os
if os.name == "nt":
import ctypes
g_user32 = ctypes.windll.user32
g_y_physical_screen = g_user32.GetSystemMetrics(1)
else:
g_y_physical_screen = 1200
And this is the code that defines the preferences:
Python:
if not renpy.loadable("use_fixed_resolution_720.txt"):
vbox:
style_prefix "check"
label _("Resolution")
textbutton _("manual resize") action SetField(persistent, 'resolution', 1000)
textbutton _("1280x720") action SetField(persistent, 'resolution', 1280)
textbutton _("1600x900") action SetField(persistent, 'resolution', 1600)
if g_y_physical_screen >= 1200:
textbutton _("1920x1080") action SetField(persistent, 'resolution', 1920)
if g_y_physical_screen >= 1600:
textbutton _("2560x1440") action SetField(persistent, 'resolution', 2560)
So if you get 1440 when you manually execute the command after the game has been loaded, maybe it starts on your secondary screen which has lower settings?
Please check the variable g_y_physical_screen in the console.
Just type:
g_y_physical_screen
If you also get 1440 then I have no idea why it doesn't work. But probably you get 1080 or lower.
I only use one screen, so I cannot really test this.
If g_y_physical_screen is not 1440, you can try this:
Open the console and type:
g_y_physical_screen = 1440
After that, go to the preferences. You should see the additonal option 1920x1080 now.
If for whatever reason windows returns the resolution from the wrong monitor when the game starts, I'm pretty sure something can be found to work around that. But I wasn't aware of that problem.
EDIT: If you have the problem that higher resolutions are not available, please try the files attached in the zip. Copy them to the "game" folder and replace the two existing files. The logic has been changed, so that every time the preferences are opened, the game will again get the native resolution of your screen (instead of only once when the game is started). Please let me know if this works for you.
