This is only client!

Since 785 (EO’s Width) is not divisible by any even number you must change the size of frmMain (800x600 is a good size) This will not be covered in this tutorial

Derived from Here, changed for easy implementation.

NOTE: You may want to add an exit button to frmMain that calls Unload Me That is up to you to create

Add the file below to your project.

frmMain, under Private PresentY As Long add.

Public OldX As Long
Public OldY As Long

This next steps depends on what engine you use, you need to fine the part where your engine starts and exits

For EO 3 (Maybe others only tryed it with EO 3 so far, and with just an empty project)

modGeneral, GameInit, under frmMain.Show add. Replace Width and Height with your current frmMain’s res EO uses 785x**594 **THIS IS NOT DIVISIBLE
by 12 you MUST change frmMain’s size to be divisible by 12
(Current bit per pix)

frmMain.OldX = Screen.Width / Screen.TwipsPerPixelX
frmMain.OldY = Screen.Height / Screen.TwipsPerPixelY
ChangeResolution ReplaceWithWidth, ReplaceWithHeight 

frmMain.WindowState = vbMaximized ' It fixes positioning on some monitors

modGeneral, logoutGame, under Dim buffer As clsBuffer, i As Long (For neatness, it can (Maybe) be placed anywhere) add.

ChangeResolution frmMain.OldX, frmMain.OldY

Last, open frmMain’s visual editor change frmMain’s BorderStyle to none

Has anyone tried this?

Can we see some screenshots?

tnx for using my custom engine xD

nice tut !

If you are using a DX7 engine you will get that error.

If you are using a DX7 engine you will get that error

i use dx8 lol and fixed  :P

I get the error “Mode Not Supported”

the window gets fullscreened, but the actual game remains in the top left corner. sadface

Also, i’m using DX8 Eclipse 3.0

slow claps for lex

Okay, i know i’m a little on the late end of things, but i get a “variable not defined” on replacewithwidth. I’m using a vanilla copy of eo3

ReplacewithWidth and ReplaceWithHeight are not actual variables, you have to set their values.

OHHHHH!!!

Now that i read that i realize how dumb of a mistake that was.

Way to go IFX.

also. Thanks. applauds your fantastic system it works brilliantly now.

Is there any way to set that to be the users screen resolution?

I dunno. But you know who might know? Google.

slow clap okay. i get it. I’m just going to go put that project on the back burner, and go do something else.

Google knows all :S

I posted a method to do this in Eclipse Origins 3.0 here

It allows full screen gameplay with a sizable window, so as you size the window, it’ll size your display accordingly!

and for DX7?
