You can change it by changing the size of your screen.

edit: bah beaten

errr... why take the time to make a thread about it when you could've tested it yourself easier x.x It's just like players[0].id: a read-only var

I remember when someone added that to a server jail level, but it was moving the mouse around to random cords

Cannot be changed by script

Well, because to ensure that the players get the full effect of a games content, it's generally best to enforce a screen resolution/size or at least be able to detect it, I know alot of people who play in windows that aren't even 400x200, while I play at 1024x768 on my second monitor, so it's kinda dumb if you design content that should be able to be seen from a distance and the people in 400x200 or smaller windows won't see it and your time just got wasted.

Adjusting the screen height/width via a script would be very useful actually. A main reason, is what Aethorpe stated.

Or you could just inform them that they need to change their resolution, or in a worst-case-scenario, prevent them from playing on the server if they don't change the resolution.

Screen resolution doesn't apply to graal nearly as much as other games, a small minority of graal plays fullscreen, and an even smaller minority would actually heed useful information posted by server staff. Myself and undoubtly so many others are guilty of logging onto a server for the first time and ignoring the automatic MOTD sent by the NPC server, and avoiding the "info houses" that some servers employ.

I always play full screen, because its easier for me. I find it easier to play full screen. Well, I play partially full screen. I leave a little piece to the right of the screen where I put the f7 playerlist. That way I can view/answer messages easily/quicker.

That's not true fullscreen. Hit alt+enter, that is fullscreen.
You are just playing in an enlarged windowed mode.

When I am actually playing graal, I play fullscreen, but when I'm scripting something, I play in windowed mode, so I don't have to alt+tab to RC.

Yes, I know about alt+enter. I know that it wasnt in full screen mode, I just call it full screen when I enlarge my screen myself.
