| Hi guys, I wasted 2 hours for the correct positioning of 2 rendered text, after I have tested the positions in differents resolutions and i found a big problem, until the resolution aspect ratio is 16:9 (the one I used for positioning the texts) they are positioned and scaled perfectly, but when the aspect ratio changes, both position and scale go wrong. How can I solve this problem? |

| There is a global-variable called g_screenAspectRatio which you could use to calculate the widths with. Maybe there are other already available methods/functions within the game to use, but I do currently not know of them. My suggestions would be to primarily use height or Y-pos as the 'base', and then calculate width using the g_screenAspectRatio value. There is also a getTextWidth() method, which could help you in determining how wide the text is, you are about to render. |

| Ok, I already use the getTextWidth(), what I was really needing is g_screenAspectRatio. Thank you for the answer, do you know something about how to work with the new GUI scale setting? |

| For who will have my same problem. Assumption: since the aspect ratio is the ratio between width and height, the x positions haven't to change between differents resolutions. In my opinion the best solution for this problem is: baseAspectRatio = 1.7777777777777; --this is your ratio (in my case 16:9), in which you find the correct positions aspectRatioMultiplier = g_screenAspectRatio / baseAspectRatio; text1.y = text1.y * aspectRatioMultiplier; --apply this to all your y positions text1.fontsize = text1.fontsize * aspectRatioMultiplier; --apply this to all your fontsize This is simple and will work perfectly, I suggest to use this method! I'm still searching a way to solve the problem with HUD scale setting. |
