Well, I abandoned that project a long time ago, mainly because it is much too difficult for most people to use. Did you copy every one of the specified scripts? Also, one of the scripts in the project should have changed the resolution so that is wasn't full screen. Why don't you upload your project somewhere, PM me a link, and I'll port the resolution kit into it. (I assume you're usng a half-size screen, right?)

yes i have copied every scripts , i have a doubt about DLL or Script File to put into the Date Folder cuz if i paste it in the folder , the game works but at full screen .. i have seen here that someone have the size that i search and i thought they used your tool..

Well, let me port it into your project. Upload it to megaupload.com, and PM the link to me. I'll make sure it works, then give it back to you. (I won't share any of your project either, so don't worry.) Also, I believe that the Pokemon Essentials used the same base scripts that I used with my project, only with a different screen shape. Oh, and does the original project work for you?

EDIT: Never mind, I found your problem. Go to line 239 of the script named "Custom Resolution Script" and change it to this:

  Resolution.fullscreen

(Originally, it said "default", not "fullscreen")

I just edited my last post with what you need to do to get it to work. (I pulled out my latest version of the project and noticed it had that problem, then fixed it.) Just edit the code in the way I said, and it should work out just fine. Oh, and you will need that dll file to make it work.

great i try and i'll tell ya ! tnx

well , now the size of the screen is always huge but is pratically complete black and inside this black screen there's your game screen with the right size that i want.. now i need to delete all this black screen and just got the game screen

That's... odd. I wonder, are you running Vista? Also, There might be another small edit I made, lemme check.

Change lines 45-47 of Custom Window Size to the following:

    win = swp.call(hWnd, HWND_TOP, 0, 0, w + 6, h + 32, 0)
    #the line below makes the window on top of all others
    win = swp.call(hWnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, w + 6, h + 32, SWP_NOMOVE)

Also, if line 48 of Custom resolution size says:

    @state = "fullscreen"

change it to:

    @state = "default"

Lines 27-28 of Window Resolution Script should say:

    @state = "default"
    self.default

And finally, lines 62-68 of Window Resolution Script should say:

  def change
    if @state == "fullscreen"
      self.fullscreen
    else
      self.default
    end
  end

Yeah, I just figured out that problem. Just delete line 47 from Custom Resolution Script. Lines 43-48 should look like this now:

  def self.default
    @default_size = size
    @set_window_long.call(@window, -16, 0x14000000)
    @set_window_pos.call(@window, -1, 0, 0, Setup.h_value, Setup.v_value, 64)
    @state = "default"
  end

You should have deleted this:

    @set_resolution.call(Setup.h_value, Setup.v_value, 4)

Also, you knwo that code I originall told you to change? (From default to fullcreeen) Well, you have to change it back for this to work...

Oh and just so you know, I accidentally changed my resolution to something like 640x480 while working on this. Luckily, I knew how to fix it. ;)

I'm glad to help. Still, I think that this little tool should probably die in obscurity, due to the difficulty in using it.

Thanks for the compliment. My only problem is that, if anything, I'll probably have to update the tool. Besides, there's no point in posting it here now, because the people who would use this will probably be making a Pokemon game, and then they would be much better off with Pokemon Essentials. (I remember you having trouble opening it with an illegal version of RMXP, which I used to do as well, until I figured out how to get the official version to work with vista... I also figured out how to get stuff like that to work)
