I found this cool little software that makes non resizable windows resizable! Test with RPG Maker and works great!

Nice find! I was hoping other circles would implement the F5 button to double size of screen but this works just as well.

edit: Awww, a shame RPG maker games don't scale when you resize. That would make this program perfect.

I know what you mean. Now if more circles would do the hide text window button so we can see the CG in all it's glory. I really wish someone would do a tutorial on how to add that script to games than I would just decompile the game and add it in myself. But I just could not figure out how to add a script to a game I tried but could not figure out how to call it to make it work.

A good find, thanks for sharing.
 
Re: Make RPG Maker Game Windows resizable!

any other way of resizing rpg maker games with keeping aspect ratio? and/or snapping when the game gets to 2xs the original size while resizing? (4k monitors are a pain for rpg maker :x )

even coding it to 600 800 causes an obscene lag in comparison
 
Re: Make RPG Maker Game Windows resizable!

One of my biggest issues with RPGmaker, and therefore one of the things I appreciate most about Wolf Editor (F4 for higher resolution based on screen size is built in!).

Thanks for this, though.

Why not just put your games in fullscreen? ( alt + enter )

Works with all RPGmaker versions :3

I think that's the intended method, but it can also cause massive headaches if you have multiple monitors, special runtime envronments, etc.

For us single-monitor plebeians, full-screening presents the problem that you won't be able to view your translation window anymore. Otherwise, I full-screen every game I play if I don't need the translator.

same sort of thing for me, though i have 3 monitors, they're not side by side, and set up very differently, so i mainly only concentrate at one at a time for games

also most rpg maker games are at like 4:3 ratio while all my monitors are mainly at 16:9 or something so when full screen it streches alot, which is why i was asking about aspect ratio in the earlier post
 
Re: Make RPG Maker Game Windows resizable!

That's a neat little program, however, I use something called instead.

Pretty much the same thing as OP posted, except you specify what resolution you want to resize it too instead of making it 'pull-able'. Simple, but works.

However, RPG Maker XP games or older doesn't work, the actual game won't scale with the window unless it's Ace or VX.

If you have an Nvidia card you can set it up to do resizing on the GPU rather than the monitor and then you can order it to maintain aspect ratio.

Then the GPU can keep sending the native resolution to the monitor and the resizing actually looks a bit better as the GPU is better able to do it correctly (plus it maintains the aspect ratio and that's a big plus). Using the native resolution also means crappy monitors will suffer less with resolution changes.

I would expect any recent card that isn't onboard to be able to do that, though I don't really adventure outside of nvidia.

Re: Make RPG Maker Game Windows resizable!

When I press F1, there's an option "open in fullscreen"
I'm not sure if that's in every rpgmaker game but it works for mine.

That just makes it open the game at full screen to begin with.

You can press Alt + Enter in-game to switch between full screen and windowed at will, too.

wow ty so very much for sizer, works well for me, though figuring out the rpg maker's heading/frame size would help perfect the numbers i need, but still tyvm for this
