Alright, me and a friend have been trying to figure out the correct way to fix resolution size for our new game.. but we've run into some problems with the map being too large and cutting off the sides of the right and left side of the map leaving black bars. Now I know there's a fix for this somehow because we've been able to see it on other games on BYOND, it would be really appreciated if someone could help fix this issue.

I removed the black areas from the edge of my map window by unchecking the "stretch icons to fit map" option in the map window edit and then setting world/view = "20x15"

You could still encounter resolution issues, though, and will have to fix that in other ways (anchors and whatnot).
The black bars to the sides of the map are letterboxing, and there's no set in stone way around at least a little of it. What you want to do is set your anchors properly, and you shouldn't run into anything more than minor inconveniences.

Yeah we would think so as well, but we've been setting them correctly, unless.. there's a certain way to do it besides using auto-anchor to get them anchored after we place them where we want them..

Your fix probably only works for your resolution.

Yeah.. I might to find a resolution process in order to fix it when you first get onto the main screen.. sad part is I have no idea where to look for such a proc..

There is no perfect fix, I've tried, but it has flaws as there is no such thing as a fraction of a pixel.

If your map is on the top left of your screen, and there is other panes to the right of the map, just set the anchor to top left, and None. (See Here)

If it's a map that should cover the entire top half or something, then make a change map size or something so people can increase the map size to get rid of the black bits.
