800x600 canvas only? #14

Closed evilC closed 8 years ago

evilC commented 10 years ago

Would it be possible to enable us to set the canvas size? I could do with a 1:1 ratio to game resolution.

agrippa1994 commented 10 years ago

Every drawing element is adjusted to a size of 800 x 600 because everyone has another resolution. If you have a resolution of 1920 x 1080 the drawing object will be scaled up 1920x1080. That means that the resolution is independent.

800x600 scaled up is not much use to me in many situations. I am using pixel detection to obtain information about game state. I need to be able to allow users to select the pixel they wish to watch - the obvious method is to put a crosshair overlay on screen and let them move it until it covers the pixel they wish to watch. With 800x600 scaled up, it is impossible to draw a crosshair that only covers one pixel on the screen...

Surely you could default to 800x600, but allow people to specify a different res at initialization time?

Also 800x600 is a 4:3 res. This means that the shape of everything is distorted when you do the rescale if you are not running the game in a 4:3 res (ie just about everybody).

I find that a big limitation too, so I forked it and removed the scaling. f6ef7d3c2807c1cf399135e3efc925efb710b1a1

The canvas can be set manually with SetCalculationRatio now. https://github.com/agrippa1994/DX9-Overlay-API/commit/0b03d9c5b0517fab121556ef328689407ed2438f
