Hello!
I want to use the scene editor for the game. Mobile devices. But whatever code I tried, it still sets the dimensions according to the ratio that is specified in the scene editor (base resolution)
There are black stripes on the device

Does the device support the resolution? Does it have the same aspect ratio?

If you set up a scene, you have to set a base and a target resolution in the scene editor. Tick the base and left click the target resolution. If you develop for 1920x1080 and the device is 1560x720 AppGameKit scales down to the nearest possible resolution and puts black bars. With a wide variety of devices these days, it's a lot of work to cover all possible resolutions. One way is by using the percentage based system, creating all assets for different aspect ratios, detect the aspect ratio of the device and load the correct assets. This elimimates black bars pretty much, but triples your asset creation.

Furthermore you can use the SetScissor command to force AppGameKit to use the whole screen. This is somewhat dangerous though, because things that might be off screen in one resolution still are visible in other resolutions. You'd have to catch those exceptions via your code. For example, if you despawn an enemy if it's x is greater than 1560, but the device is 1920, you can't hardcode 1560 but need a variable for the max screen width and use that. AppGameKit supplies ways to get the max width.

@slagusev,

does this mean that you are now able to save scenes with regard to the issue that you reported on the repo? https://github.com/TheGameCreators/AGK-Studio/issues/891.

if so, feel free to Close the issue. otherwise, adding some details to the issue would be most-helpful. ie, operating system, items added to the scene that won't save, operating system, studio version, etc.

i don't mean to side-track this thread but since you're still on moderation, you cannot receive private messages.

Furthermore, I would like to know if my answer resolved your issue. If so, please mark the thread as answered.

The scene settings are overriding the main.agc settings because the OP needs to call Menu_create_window(0) before Menu_setup() to tell the scene file not to change them

SetWindow() is called too many times.!!
I'm getting the same thing. It is possible to go into the scene editor script and switch on full screen manually (readmode set to off), however, if you have more than one scene in the same scene file, it is impossible to switch it off for all scenes. It would be best if this automatic code is removed so the first instance is the primary. I've added an entry on github
