Summary

Hi there! I'm using YEP_CoreEngine to alter the resolution of my game to 640x360. My understanding is that battlebacks need to be a bit larger than your resolution to accommodate screen shaking effects, etc. Is this a static amount, or perhaps a certain percentage larger than your game resolution? I've been testing different resolutions for my battlebacks (resizing in GIMP) but I still end up with a somewhat blurry background, as if it's trying to do some anti-aliasing. I've uploaded a screenshot to show what I mean.

Hi there!

I'm using YEP_CoreEngine to alter the resolution of my game to 640x360.

My understanding is that battlebacks need to be a bit larger than your resolution to accommodate screen shaking effects, etc. Is this a static amount, or perhaps a certain percentage larger than your game resolution? I've been testing different resolutions for my battlebacks (resizing in GIMP) but I still end up with a somewhat blurry background, as if it's trying to do some anti-aliasing.

I've uploaded a screenshot to show what I mean.

EDIT: Added another example image.

I have tried to adjust the size to:

the same size as my game resolution.
an additional 32 px each side
+ 64px width and +32px heighth
thinking that perhaps because MV uses 48x48 tiles, added different increments of 48 px on each side, etc.
I even used the exact pixel x pixel differences in the example in this blog post based on the default resolution: http://blog.rpgmakerweb.com/tips-and-tricks/battlebacks-in-mv-new-features-and-specifications/ (adding 184x116)

I know this works, because I accidentally got it to work at a different resolution (still a different one from the default) but I don't know exactly how it worked.
