resolution problems
« on: May 17, 2014, 04:53:34 am »
i think this:
in 1.5 or 2x mode at battlescape the message screens must be at full screen.

Contrary to what you see here


My resolution is 1360x768

no, it's fine, just... you know, don't expect perfection from an experimental feature, we'll move to support this more post 1.0, but we're not expecting this feature to work flawlessly at this stage. these little issues are now fixed, but scaling SOME things to full screen and others not... well, it's a lot more work than i'm willing to commit to at this stage.

yea, its just an idea, one expects homogeneity in games you know, if options menu its full screen at the beginning of the game it should be the same in every place of the game.
im not a programmer i can not understand how many work that can take.
i only can cross fingers  :P

Having the screen change scale everytime between turns and inventory screens would be really jarring though.

Is there not the possibility that the menu or middle and inventory screens, fill the screen no matter the resolution?

it's possible, sure, but it means going through and making adjustments to a LOT of screens, and will inevitably lead to problems and inconsistencies that i'd rather not introduce before the next release (as you can tell, there are already a few) i've tried to tidy up the ones that you've pointed out, for example, the cydonia briefing will block out the background, the end screens will always display in as full a screen as possible (like the intro) and the main menu will revert to the geoscape scale.

Those litle adjustments you mentioned, are more than enough for now.

Ah. I didn't realize this particular can of worms had its own thread in the forums. I'll just link two reports below for reference.

#643  -  Battlescape icon panel drawn over "hidden movement" screen

#644  -  Battlescape resolution returns to normal without really doing so
