foreground sprite sizing

Post by cysworld »

G-Force seems to be randomly making some of my foreground sprites smaller. Should this be happening and can I make it stop? I just want them to be shown at the correct size. (I am running G-Force 2.8).-Carol

Tough question. Are the sprites larger than the screen? How many appear to be smaller than they should? Could you possibly have thumbnails included with them? Are they from a web site? Maybe you have an image saved and then did 'click for larger image' and saved from there?

I have 2.0 running on my older computer, if you want to send in an image or two that you suspect of the problem and I will try them on my 2.0....

How about upgrading to 3.0? There are so many more waves, flows etc. it is worth it. Not to mention the FlowField Unions.

foreground sprites resizing...

Post by cysworld »

I took the sprites directly from the backround folder and put them in the foreground folder, so I know they started out the same size. G-Force makes some of them smaller than screen size, but I'm not sure that it always changes the same ones-it seems to do it randomly. I usually make my sprites screen-size with something in the middle and a black backround (which is the mask) so that the object (lightbulb or whatever) appears in the middle of the screen and G-Force stuff happens behind it. My backround sprites always stay full-size-Maybe G-Force thinks that a screen-size sprite will cover everything else, so it makes it smaller? (Just guessing.) I'm hoping there's some little thing I can change in the prefs to make my foreground sprites not shrink! Thanks for any help anybody can give me-Carol

PS-Is 3.0 good with OS 9.2? Somehow I thought it was only for X (which I can't do cause my poor old computer is already so slow that I think X would stop it entirely!) I did download the newest G-Force so I could use all the new configs, but I can't seem to mount the disc image (I only have Disc Copy 6.5. Do you have any idea what I could use to open that?-Carol
