Screen resolution scale
« on: May 20, 2014, 10:30:20 PM »

If I have game running on 1080p (1920x1080) and I want to change it to 720p (1280x720) how can I do it? without cropping the image.
Does WME has automatic scaling down system?

There is no downscaling in WME, but you might consider using WMElite if you have a 2D game. WMElite will not be a 100% drop in replacement for WME, but it is behaving close to WME on Windows (and other platforms). There is more required than to simply downscale the screen to have it still look nice, thus there is some extra effort put into WMElite. This could all be ported to WME as well, assuming you find somebody that knows how to implement this using DirectX.

If you have 3D actors and want to stick to WME, there's also this useful tool created by metamorphium:

It will allow you to easily resize your 1080p game and create a new one in 720p.

But be careful:

Warning! This tool is highly experimental and it’s not meant to be used over the main copy of your project. Always use it on a copy which you make separately for scaling.

Thanks, but we need to have 3D actors.
