    Thanks for responding, can you tell a good dimension value Im going to take the risk on this one because i thought it was impossible too have good Pokemon sprites that are not limited to certain dimensions but you guys did an amazing job and i would like utilize whatever you can suggest me and also Im a big fan of your project if you need anything graphics related just tell me.

  • BadSamaritan is right, screen size is something that would cost a lot of time to play with... My project is a wide screen and sometimes act as dual screen and it make me really stressful whenever adjust the script xD

    if you were to just put in some numbers that aren't multiples of 32(such as 700x500), you'll get some bad stretching artifacts on the screen while you'r playing the game.
    I'd love to know where you got this idea from. Because it's wrong. Surely the fact that maps are bigger than the game screen, and the game screen moves smoothly as the player moves around, proves that the screen size is not limited to multiples of the map tile size?

  • The positioning of the bases/bg/sprites in my battle system is ridiculously simple, since their moving animation is done completely automatically. There is just one variable that needs adjusting, and that is the @vector one. Old vectorial positions get automatically (and incrementally) moved to the new ones. The Scene section of the scripts uses @vector.set for positioning, the Animations section of the scripts uses setVector for positioning. They both function in the same manner, and have the same parameters.

    @vector.set(x,y,angle,scale,zoom1,zoom2)
    x # represents the x coordinate of the origin of the vector (which is where the playerbase is positioned around)
    y # is the same as x but for the y coordinate
    angle # is the slant of the vector which aids in calculations to position the enemy base
    scale # is the length of the vector which will determine the distance between the player and enemybase
    zoom1 # is the zoom of the battle bases
    zoom2 # is the additional zoom that adds to the "3D" effect (don't change this value)

    It's that simple. Play around with the numbers until you get the ideal positioning for your screensize. UI elements will have to be manually changed/adjusted since they are designed with the default screen size in mind. It shouldn't be too hard to edit if you have at least a little coding experience.
