images to big in standalone

Tjitijman · Post by **Tjitijman** » Mon Jan 16, 2012 8:48 pm

Hello having a little problem. My visuals and images are working just fine but it doesn't matter if the image (jpeg) is 1024/768 or 510/510 or 2560/1920 When they come into my tv screen (running g-force 1920/1080) they all are slithly to big in my screen within standalone.I think the toolbar automaticly adjust the images for the screen so all the images are the same when seeing within g-froce visuals Thats good... but all just a litlle to big. Or the image is too close so it appears bigger result is the same haha Anyone same problem or a solution Thanks

I "think" if you create an assoicated *.txt file (see astronaut.* and moon.* as examples - in ...\Sprites) which allows attributes to be defined, the size won't be expanded... I think something as simple as:

Code: Select all

X="0"
Y="0"


// This is how G-Force knows what to expect from this file &#40;ie, what version it is&#41;
Vers=100

should work ... maybe (

). You "CAN" specify more complicated attributes.

forget the '~' thing ... THAT is for something else. For example, given an Image file, "..\Sprites\a.jpg", you should create a TEXT file "..\Sprites\a.txt" with the code segment listed above as its only contents. 'Moon.jpg' and 'Moon.txt' and 'Astronaut.jpg' and 'Astronaut.txt' are distributed in the current release (I believe), and should provide you examples

If you have an image file named 'viking.jpg', copy it to: "\Program Files\SoundSpectrum\G-Force\Sprites\viking.jpg" and CREATE a file "\Program Files\SoundSpectrum\G-Force\Sprites\viking.txt" with the text:

Code: Select all

X="0"
Y="0"

// This is how G-Force knows what to expect from this file &#40;ie, what version it is&#41;
Vers=100

Windows doesn't show the file extension (.jpg, .txt, ...) by default (which I can't stand). If you don't turn on the "Folder Option->view" to always SHOW extensions, you have to deal with file types... which is certainly doable, but kinda dumb... to me.

i just tried creating a text file ...copied all the data from the moon.txt file into my new text file...i named it viking.txt and the when i wanted to place it in the sprites map ...he gave me some **** about not possible ..first the makers (think sound spectrum) have to approve haha ...but i'm going to try again...if do the same going to llook in some forum about that problem haha

EDIT:- Naughty word removed. BTT

Hello Tjitijman

You should be using Notepad for the text file.

Regards BTT

Hello Tjitijman

All you need to do is open Notepad and type in the following:-

X="0"
Y="0"

Vers=100

Then click File, then Save As and name it the same as the picture / photo or whatever you want to use and put the text file in the same folder as the pic..
