Hi guys!

So I'm making this game, it's 3d, I use fullscreen and I'm trying make it possible to change the resolution of the game.
I'm not trying to make it so that you cahnge the resolution in realtime though. what I want is for the user to set the resolution in the options menu and then they have to restart the game for it to take effect.

here is my code (it's in the camera creation event):

file = ini_open('system/graphics.ini');

sw = ini_read_real('resolution','screen_width',1920);
sh = ini_read_real('resolution','screen_height',1080);

ini_close();

view_xview[0] = 0;
view_yview[0] = 0;
view_wview[0] = sw;
view_hview[0] = sh;

view_xport[0] = 0;
view_yport[0] = 0;
view_wport[0] = sw;
view_hport[0] = sh;

as you can probably see the resolution is taken from an ini file and this works fine. the problem is that when i start the game I only see a small part of what I'm supposed to see (the top left corner). Is there any good explanation for this?

Remember that i'm in 3d mode and use fullscreen.
I have also tried putting the code elsewhere, like draw event and room creation code.

You might need to use the window_set_width or window_set_height functions as well (i think those are their names)

Try resetting the drawing region data with window_set_region_size(). Play a bit with the arguments. If that doesn't do the work, it's nothing I can do about it.

I think you do not need to change view. Only change port.

Okey i solved it :D

when I start the game I have an object with a game start event with this code in it

graphSet = ini_open('system/graphics.ini');

sw = ini_read_real('resolution','screen_width',1920);
sh = ini_read_real('resolution','screen_height',1080);

ini_close();

view_xport[0] = 0;
view_yport[0] = 0;
view_wport[0] = sw;
view_hport[0] = sh;

room_restart();

it works perfectly
Btw, I don't really know how to change the name of the topic to say solved >.< halp?

Edit your first post and use the "Full Editor". It will then show the title fields again and you can change them.
