Title: GM studio seamless screen scaling
Post by: Jrap on November 02, 2013, 09:50:46 PM
Chevy Ray's Tutorial (http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=3142.msg86809#msg86809) on seamless view scaling in gamemaker is pretty much the answer to every problem I have, but there's one problem. the 'screen_refresh' function that is key to the script is obsolete in gamemaker studio, meaning that that method no longer works for anything beyond GM 8.1

Which means if I want to do anything android, iOS or html, I can't use that screen scaling turorial.

Here is image to break up text:

Relevant because right now to make the 6x6 artwork readable I have to make everything at 6x6 scale and then increase its size 400%. which is Inconvenient because theres no scaling it back down if you make a mistake.

I'm rambling. POINT BEING: Is there a way to stop the blur effect when scaling up using GM studio features?

Global Game Settings<Windows<Graphics *turn off interpolate between pixels

That should fix it, if not it probably has something to do with the way you're scaling stuff.
