Title: Screen Resolution Issue in Zorch's Menus
Post by: Clockwork on May 04, 2007, 05:15:11 AM

sorry if this is posted in the wrong place, but in the attachment is a glitch i have with zorchs menus. When I go start > play new game it ends up cutting words off on the outsides. Is there a way to fix it or is it stuck like that?

Changing your screen resolution in game to something else than 600x400 should help solving the problem. :P

btw: For future builds: change the default screen resolution since most people are on 1024x768+ today...

Yea, those menus are fit to the 1024x768 screen. I didn't think anyone used anything lower than that anymore.

I noticed that as well.  I think ultimately a more resolution-independent menu system should be implemented.  Maybe a dialog-based system like Half-Life 2 / "Source" based games have.  For now, though, I wouldn't be able to include Zorch's menus in any standard releases because they don't fit the default resolution.

What is the default resolution? 640x480? I can't remember.

Edit:
Clockwork: Go into the "Layout Settings" in the setup menu and change the hudscale to 1 (lowest setting on the slider). That'll size everything down so you can use the menus at your resolution.
