Aspect ratio

by David Bax · in Torque Game Builder · 11/20/2010 (10:06 am) · 1 replies

Is there an all inclusive guide or forum post covering aspect ratio? I can find post asking specific questions, but nothing really covering it all. I don't even want to run full screen and I can't get the aspect ratios right.  I made a 1280x720 image for a background an then set the design area for 1280x720, dropped the image in the camera area, then ran the game and the "game" (this was an empty project) was squished vertically.  I had to extend the design resolution to 1280x810 to get it to line up correctly with the original image. Huh?
Any ideas?

Update: So I tried with an 800x600 project and image, same thing... Then I tried one of the tutorial games and that was squished as well. I just recently upraged to 1.7.5, and I still have my old 1.7.4 directory, so I tried that and everything with 1.7.4 was fine... So I uninstalled and reinstalled 1.7.5 thinking maybe I messed up a setting or something. It STILL does the vertical squishing... I don't know if it matters, but this is in OS X.
