Question - Code How to scale screen resolution on mobile devices?

[Spiker]

The script I used to scale the resolution in 1.4 doesn't work anymore. Does anyone know how it works now?

Would you post your script using "code" tags?

Sure, this is my resize Script and it is placed in Game Start event

switch(os_type)
{
case os_android:
cur_width = max(1,display_get_width());
cur_height = max(1,display_get_height());
break;
}
switch(os_type)
{
case os_windows:
cur_width = max(1,window_get_width());
cur_height = max(1,window_get_height());
break;
}
var ratio = cur_width/cur_height
if cur_width < cur_height
{
__view_set( e__VW.WView, 0, min_height * ratio )
__view_set( e__VW.HView, 0, min_height )
}
else
{
__view_set( e__VW.WView, 0, min_width )
__view_set( e__VW.HView, 0, min_width / ratio )
}
__view_set( e__VW.WPort, 0, cur_width )
__view_set( e__VW.HPort, 0, cur_height )
surface_resize(application_surface, __view_get( e__VW.WView, 0 ), __view_get( e__VW.HView, 0 ))

You can use code tags by typing the left bracket "[" and then the word "code" and then the right bracket "]" and then at the end you type "/code" inside the brackets, and it shows your code like this:

switch(os_type)
{
case os_android:
cur_width = max(1,display_get_width());
cur_height = max(1,display_get_height());
break;
}
switch(os_type)
{
case os_windows:
cur_width = max(1,window_get_width());
cur_height = max(1,window_get_height());
break;
}
var ratio = cur_width/cur_height
if cur_width < cur_height
{
__view_set( e__VW.WView, 0, min_height * ratio )
__view_set( e__VW.HView, 0, min_height )
}
else
{
__view_set( e__VW.WView, 0, min_width )
__view_set( e__VW.HView, 0, min_width / ratio )
}
__view_set( e__VW.WPort, 0, cur_width )
__view_set( e__VW.HPort, 0, cur_height )
surface_resize(application_surface, __view_get( e__VW.WView, 0 ), __view_get( e__VW.HView, 0 ))

I didn't know that thanks

Do you have any idea on what do I need to change in order to make it work?

 

[Guest]

Edit: nevermind, I asked a silly question.

 

[Guest]

Would you post your __view_set script?

sorry?

 

[Guest]

There are a couple odd things. Your code calls a script called "__view_set()" to set the width and height. That is the first odd thing; I need to see that script to know what it's doing. The second odd thing is that you are sometimes feeding that script two variables--"min_height" and "min_width" that haven't been set in your code. So, they are either set somewhere else or not set at all, which would cause problems.

Oh, and you're also using a script called __view_get(). So, please post that as well.

IM not, GMS 2 automatically changed my code to this when I imported it.

GMS2 added these as compatibility scripts--see here. So, you should have them somewhere, presumably under "scripts" in the resource tree. But if it's a built-in compatibility script, I bet it's complicated and the chances of me personally being able to help are probably pretty low. But hey! Just for fun, why not post them so we can see what they're doing?
