Screen resolution?

Fri Sep 29, 2006 4:46 pm by Bejaymac

What you have is called "letterbox", it's what happens when you force an image into the wrong aspec ratio. As I've already said FL like most games only uses 4:3, you've force FL to display at 1280x1024 but it still only draws at 1280x960 as thats all it's been programmed to use, leaving you with a black band top & bottom.

Games are programmed to use 4:3 with some having a widescreen ratio programmed as well. 1280x1024 is neither which is why you and everybody else have problems stuffing your game in to this ratio. 1280x1024 is realy only of use to people who use graphics programs & modelling progs. as they get a higher definition to work in.

Bejaymac,I don't have black band top and bottom,I have normal game screen there,only HUD is not on it's place(has rong verticle position).So can HUD position be changed anyway?

you can shrink/scale the hud with cameras.ini:
[WinCamera
fovx = 54.431999

change this number and it will resize equally, and adding an fovy may allow for a different ratio

I tried for about 1.5 hours,no result at all.
Yes, itr's possible to change size of HUD this way,but when you make it big enough
virtically,it becomes too big horizontally(so you can't se left and right sides of the HUD)
To my observation scaling fovx and fovy has the same effect.
And only the last parameter is read.If:

[WinCamera}
fovx = 54.431999
fovy = 108.431999

Then hud becomes 2 times smaller and "centered"

If you change places of fovx and fovy:

[WinCamera}
fovx = 108.431999
fovy = 54.431999

It becomes the same as:

[WinCamera}
fovx = 54.431999

This:
[WinCamera}
fovy = 54.431999

is same as this:

[WinCamera}
fovx = 54.431999

So no succes at all(or myabe I was doing something rong?).Need some more Ideas. Please.
I know I seem to be annoying,but I just don't know what to do.

Are there any ways to change shield/hull/energy bar screen poziotion?
And how to make HUD transparent(limpid, pellucid - hope I translated what I want right)?
