Aspect ratio again
by natchooo · in Torque Game Builder · 07/14/2009 (1:45 pm) · 5 replies
Hello,
I know this question has been asked several times but i have not found a satisfying answer :
Is there a way to have black bands in full screen when the aspect ratio of the screen is different from the one of the scene ?
I have a scene in 1280x1024 and when the game runs on a 1920x1080 screen it is stretched in a bad way because the aspect ratio is different.
The solutions i found on this forum only concern GUI objects, but what about sprites ?
If anyone has an idea on how to fix this problem, please let me know.
Thank you very much in advance.

I've added the following script to our baseline to center the scene window when the resolution doesn't match our design resolution.$qInExtentChange = false;
function sceneWindow2D::onExtentChange( %this, %data )
{
if( $qInExtentChange ) return;
$qInExtentChange = true;
setAcceptableScreenRatio();
$qInExtentChange = false;
}
function setAcceptableScreenRatio()
{
%screenWidth = getWord( Canvas.extent, 0 );
%screenHeight = getWord( Canvas.extent, 1 );
%screenRatio = %screenWidth / %screenHeight;
%optimalRatio = 1024.0 / 768.0; // WLS - Our Design resolution
%newWidth = %screenWidth;
%newHeight = %screenHeight;
if( %screenRatio < %optimalRatio )
%newHeight = %screenWidth / %optimalRatio;
else if( %screenRatio > %optimalRatio )
%newWidth = %screenHeight * %optimalRatio;
%newX = (%screenWidth - %newWidth) / 2.0;
%newY = (%screenHeight - %newHeight) / 2.0;
sceneWindow2D.setPosition( %newX, %newY );
sceneWindow2D.setExtent( %newWidth, %newHeight );

You can add support to your game by having scenes at various aspects (set width:height ratios to 4:3, 5:4, 16:10 and 16:9 for the variations). Search around the site for some threads on calculating and getting width/height in proper relations.
