I'm trying to get the edges of this 3d object to be anti-aliased. Here is the original result.

I moved the gradient box texture in more to blur the edges, but now the edges that you don't see straight at look split, and I don't want that. I just want all the edges to be anti-aliased.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? I found some AA engines but all the links are dead.
EDIT: I just tried using a scaling method, but it cuts the fps from 600 down to 200, and it looks like more of a glow  than a anit-aliasing.

I'm trying to see what video resolution formats GM supports. Here is a list of one's that work on my monitor, and their specifications. If anyone knows any more that work on their monitor please let me know. I am trying to make a game that supports all the screen resolutions so it can be ported to other platforms.

|__Video Resolution__|__Video Format__|__Video Size__|
|________5:4________|_____SXGA_____|__1280x1024__|
|________4:3________|_____VGA______|__640x480____|
|________4:3________|_____SVGA_____|__800x600____|
|________4:3________|_____XGA______|__1024x768___|
|________8:5________|_____WXGA_____|__1280x800___|
|________5:3________|_____WXGA_____|__1280x768___|
|________16:9_______|____HD 720_____|__1280x720___|

EDIT: Here are some additional questions...
Why do I get an "out of system resources" error message when changing to any resolution other than my current one, SXGA?

Ok so I have a ship with multiple factors affecting its speed.
Here is the equation I have so far.

//ship speed
global.ship[0]=((2*global.afterburners[0])-((global.hull[0]+global.shields[0]+global.vacuum[0]+global.guns[0]+
global.lasers[0]+global.bombs[0]+global.missiles[0]+global.afterburners[0])/20))*((global.hull[2]+global.shields[2]+global.vacuum[2]+global.guns[2]+global.lasers[2]+global.bombs[2]+global.missiles[2]+global.afterburners[2])/(global.hull[1]+global.shields[1]+global.vacuum[1]+global.guns[1]+global.lasers[1]+global.bombs[1]+global.missiles[1]+global.afterburners[1]));

the arrays [0]=level [1]=maxhp [2]=hp
I also have global.ship[3]=2 which is the ship weight. I need to implement it too some how.
At start I have...

//levels
global.hull[0]=1;
global.shields[0]=0;
global.vacuum[0]=1;
global.guns[0]=0;
global.lasers[0]=0;
global.bombs[0]=0;
global.missiles[0]=0;
global.afterburners[0]=0;

Does anyone have any ideas for fixing this equation. I'm trying to make it logical, but not super realistic.

EDIT:
Just to clarify my equation so far,this is the ship integrity factor...

((global.hull[2]+global.shields[2]+global.vacuum[2]+global.guns[2]+
global.lasers[2]+global.bombs[2]+global.missiles[2]+global.afterburners[2])/
(global.hull[1]+global.shields[1]+global.vacuum[1]+global.guns[1]+
global.lasers[1]+global.bombs[1]+global.missiles[1]+global.afterburners[1]))

This is the eqipment size factor based on level. The higher the level, the bigger it gets.

((global.hull[0]+global.shields[0]+global.vacuum[0]+global.guns[0]+
global.lasers[0]+global.bombs[0]+global.missiles[0]+global.afterburners[0])/20))

...and the beginning of the code is to increase the speed based on the level of the afterburners, which starts at 0. Thats why my equation always =0, but I need it to start at 0.

EDIT#2:
Nevermind I came up with one. I changed the ship[0] to ship weight because I defined it first in the new script. Check out this equation and tell me what you think. Seems to look good.

//ship weight
global.ship[0]=(global.hull[0]+global.shields[0]+global.vacuum[0]+global.guns[0]+global.lasers[0]+global.bombs[0]+global.missiles[0]+global.afterburners[0])/5;
//ship speed
global.ship[1]=((2+global.afterburners[0])/global.ship[0])*((global.hull[2]+global.shields[2]+global.vacuum[2]+global.guns[2]+global.lasers[2]+global.bombs[2]+global.missiles[2]+global.afterburners[2])/(global.hull[1]+global.shields[1]+global.vacuum[1]+global.guns[1]+global.lasers[1]+global.bombs[1]+global.missiles[1]+global.afterburners[1]));

What are the values of the key/button codes for the keyboard and mouse. For example, vk_left=37 vk_up=38 vk_right=39 vk_down=40. They can't be ascii values, because the ascii values correspond to different keys. So what are they?

Never mind. I found them after a lot of searching here...
http://msdn.microsof...y/ms927178.aspx

My problem is either the values aren't storing in the arrays or the arrays cannot be drawn the way I'm using them.

I'm too sleepy to spot the error, so can someone please help me out here. Also if anyone knows where I can find an array flattening workaround tutorial, because I've had no luck finding one.
