I have created a simple menu with background image and buttons showing over it (video_mode = 8). Now instead of manually entering x/y values to place these buttons, is there any way to position them at the centre of the background image (1024x768) no matter what the actual game resolution be?

Or maybe, is there a way to just centre them all everytime the resolution is changed instead of setting up new values for x/y everytime?

Thanks.

write a function, and call it everytime you change the resolution.

like


void vCenterPanels(){
panelname.pos_x = screen_size.x/2 - bmap_width(panelname.bmap)/2;
panelname.pos_y = screen_size.y/2 - bmap_height(panelname.bmap/2;
..
}

or something like

void vCenterMe(PANEL* p){
p.pos_x = screen_size.x/2 - bmap_width(p.bmap)/2;
p.pos_y = screen_size.y/2 - bmap_height(p.bmap/2;
}

Late (very late) reply from me but this only centers the panel image (as far as I can tell). I still can't seem to find a way for the buttons in the panel to center (horizontally.. even vertically if I can) on-screen without entering manual positions for x/y.

Thanks for solving the res problem though (I also found it in the manual.. :| ).

you coud use somthing white this pan_setpos(PANEL*, var type, var num, VECTOR* xy)
