Fullscreen++ script just having a black screen RMXP

I recently tried using Zues81’s fullscreen++ script for RMXP but when ever i start my game it just is a black screen, i can still hear the game and interact with stuff but i cant see. I’ve been looking up how to fix this but so far all the solutions i can find don’t work (i have the .dll installed, i have both scripts installed, and i have not messed with the game.ini fullscreen++ settings) If any one knows how to fix this or of an alternative fullscreen script that doesn’t stretch or blur the pixel your help would be greatly appreciated.

The one Fullscreen++ from Zeus81 I’ve found is for VX and VXAce, not for RMXP. The version I found also doesn’t need any DLLs. Do you have a link? I can’t seem to find it.

My guess right now is that maybe it will never work, depending on how it does things, and this is just because of changes in recent Windows versions. I was never good at these sorts of scripts though, so I might be wrong, maybe it has an easy solution.

The default fullscreen mode in RGSS (all of them) is kinda messy nowadays because of recent Windows changes (at some point I think it didn’t even work! it was 100% black screen forever :angry:), but now it does work at the very least. It just takes a while, scales the screen to cover the entire screen (not very 16:9 friendly!) and also messes up all the dumb Electron applications because they’re badly programmed :upside_down_face: (yes they are, but I’m definitely bullying them because I am stinky).

here is a link to where i got it Fullscreen++ | RPG Maker Forums (I don’t know why its this hard to find.) if you look right at the top it says “Fullscreen++ is now compatible with RMXP!” I don’t know if it requires a different installation process though as i didn’t find anything about that.

Oh I hadn’t seen this version, that’s what happened! I remember this script from very long long time ago.

After trying it out for a bit, I honestly don’t know what is wrong, but it shows me a black screen too. Tried it with an empty project. It then crashed after I tried to put it in windowed mode. It plays the title screen song at least!

This feels like a very deep rabbit hole at this moment. :eyes::sweat_droplets: It’s also completely different to what it used to be.

The game does work, I can move the cursor and exit, or should be able to play, just can’t see a thing. I have a guess on what’s happening but no idea on how to fix it. My guess is that whatever the script is doing with the DLL to find the game’s screen might not be working for whatever reason, and thus it just shows a black screen instead after it finishes redrawing the screen.

well its at least nice to know its not because i was doing something stupid lol . it does seem weird though that it no longer works, it could possibly be a missing file that is no longer on the download link but idk

Try without the DLL file in your project. I had the same issue on my project for vx ace. But without the dll the script just does some basic window resizing. and works for me.

This actually works! its kind of weird that the .dll actually breaks it but if it works it works. thanks a lot for helping with this!
