Modify Existing Game Resolution from 480x272 to 960x540

[Bruce]

Hi everyone,

I have the Openbor game that I want to modify the resolution from 480x272 to 960x540.
Is there a quick way or any better solution to change everything to 960x540 instead of modifing the files one by one?
The reason that I want to do this is because I want to add high quality backgrounds and new high quality characters.

Thank you very much

I'm afraid there's no quick way for that. With new images, you have many texts you have to adjust to suit new resolution.
That include scripts especially ones which displays text or sprites.

Thank you very much for reply. I know that I have to resize the images and modify all the offsets. Do I need to modify the bbox as well? Can you advise me what else that needs to be modified to suit with the new resolution. I would be careless about the existing characters, my concern would be more on the enemies, objects, etc.. Thank you

Yes, bbox, attackbox, offset must be modified if image is scaled.

Other thing you might need to modify is spawn distance. Some entities spawn other entity with certain distance relative to the former. For instance, shooter shoots bullet 10 pixels in front and 70 pixels above his offset. Those 10,70 will need to be adjusted as well

ehh, that sounds like a lot of work since there are thousands of files to be modified and alot of bbox, attack box and offset per file... I have no clue why the developers didn't start it with highest resolution... Yes I get it that they had some low resolution sprites, but still wouldn't be better to have better looking backgrounds? just make the characters smaller... this really sucks. Thank you very much for your information.
