GameResize (Client Size)

The GUILabel dont get to the expected position. However, the size does

Code Select Expand

this.Information <- ::GUILabel(VectorScreen(screen.X * 0.28, screen.Y * 0.10), Colour(28, 174, 190), "Registeration");


Code Select Expand

function GUI::GameResize(width, height)
{
screen <- GUI.GetScreenSize();
WelcomeScreen.Information.Position = VectorScreen(screen.X * 0.28, screen.Y * 0.10);
WelcomeScreen.Information.FontSize = screen.X * 0.06;
 }

Okay I'll try even though I haven't touched vcmp's client scripting..

I'll attempt to set it dead center as I have no clue where your trying to place it.

Code Select Expand

function GUI::GameResize(width, height)
{
// Should go dead center
registration_text <- ::GUILabel(VectorScreen(0, 0), Colour(28, 174, 190), "Registration");

screen <- GUI.GetScreenSize();

// tbh, should be VectorScreen(screen.X, screen.Y);
WelcomeScreen.Information.Position = VectorScreen(screen.X * 0.28, screen.Y * 0.10);

// what does font size have to do with setting to the screen size?
WelcomeScreen.Information.FontSize = screen.X * 0.06;

// Should add the label to the window
WelcomeScreen.AddChild(registration_text)
 }
idk, I tried,client side resources are a little odd in this mp. but I tried, If I knew enough on it I could be of great help but I don't have the time for it

I debugged it and came to know that Sprite works perfect with the position attribute. The Label is fishy. If the size is increased, it goes good and when you decrease it, it rekts.

Lol didn't know this was a sprite.. I thought we were talking about a gui label..

Sprites isn't something you should resize. I would just create 4 different sprites for four main ranges of resolutions. and depending on the resolution size, use what ever size you rendered for the resolution, you can still modify the size, But it's not wise to modify the size of a sprite that has a higher definition and the resolution calls for it to shrink, it's going to look like shit...

Tbh I use a custom 600 sized game window so my fps will always stay strong regardless of what crazy crap goes on around me in a server. I would try to make sure you have four different sprites for ranges of:
<1000>
<2000>
<3000>
<4000>

The wasted space will be worth it as the professionalism of the sprite will be perfected. I don't personally mess with gui and screen positions as I'm to anal about my work..

As for the label size, I would recommend looking into

Code Select Expand

ceilThen begin checking out the font size after that

It is a label. Lol. Actually, I am trying to find solutions to make my GUI perfect on screen change. The bugs I found:
- Position attribute of decreasing screen size
- increasing width only can result in disappearing of the label
- GUI.GetScreenSize() doesn't update on game resize.

The wiki version doesn't update?
http://wiki.vc-mp.org/wiki/Scripting/Squirrel/Client_Functions/GUI::GetScreenSize

If it doesn't try seeing if a few things will manually update it like
http://wiki.vc-mp.org/wiki/Scripting/Squirrel/Client_Functions/GUI::SetMouseEnabled

Might be a bug, but the code might update when the mouse is showing. dunno

The GetScreenSize does updates if game is resized. It shows sprites with old size made after resize.
Most exciting thing, the mouse it enabled already in that function.

Your formula for calculating the font size is wrong, it generates invalid/un-supported results. I wrote this and it works fine when I resized the game.

Code Select Expand

screen <- GUI.GetScreenSize();
test <- ::GUILabel(VectorScreen(screen.X * 0.28, screen.Y * 0.10), Colour(28, 174, 190), "Registeration");

function GUI::GameResize(width, height)
{
::screen = this.GetScreenSize();
::test.Position = VectorScreen(screen.X * 0.28, screen.Y * 0.10);
::test.FontSize = 10 + (height/480); // Doom's font-size formula
}

No shit. Stop crediting yourself.

Font Size is working good. The problem is with POSITION. Still, I'll use that.

Mission accomplished, enemy was pissed off.

On-Topic: The position is already going to be same since you are using relative values .

Listen, when I start game (small screen size) the word "registration" is in the center of screen. When I resize to big, the size increases and position still stays in center. But after again resize to small, the word goes away from centre.

Why creating new slot of screen under GameResize(width, height)
I am pretty sure you might have created a new slot of this variable at somewhere else but still not sure if creating a new slot again and again in client side is allowed any way try using a local variable with a different name instead maybe it is because of overriding new slot.

function GUI::GameResize(width, height)

   WelcomeScreen.Information.Position = VectorScreen(rel.X * 0.28, rel.Y * 0.10);

I don't think that 0.2 and 0.1 is going to center it, to center it they both must be screen.X*0.5 and screen.Y*0.5
