Title: RE: Picture Cutting Off...
Post by: on Thu 03/02/2005 06:17:35
OK. I imported a picture at the 320x200 resolution. But it comes up to close to the top, so the GUI keeps cutting off the top of the picture. Is there any easy way to solve this problem or do I have to edit the bmp file? Please tell me there's a way to solve the problem in AGS. All I have is Paint.

Edit the picture and reimport, or change the GUI. Also you can design the game so that there're no importance of walking to/clicking on that top part of the screen.

You can't do anything to an already imported background in AGSEdit except for importing a new one.
If you use M$Paint, one simple way is to select everything (Ctrl-A) then drag the background down a bit. If you don't want the bottom part to be cropped off change the background size and the game's resolution (in AGSEdit: Game->Set game resolution...) to 320x240 instead.

Another solution would be only to display your gui when moving your mouse near the top of the screen.. there by still having fullscreen graphics...

YOu can scroll GUIs on and off , or even fade them in and out.
