Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible resize a bmap to be used in the start screen to it change to the same size of the screen resolution ?
for example, I have a start screen bmap with 1600x900. if the user set the resolution of the game for 640x480. I want the bmap to be resized to 640x480 too. or any othe size set up in the game preferences by the user.
how can I do this, or if it is not possible, how change the bmap to the game can fit all possibles screen resolution seted by the user to run the game with a right size bmap start screen ?
Thank you in advance.
BR

Firstly, welcome aboard...
To similate a re-sizable bmap you are best off, in my opinion, to use a panel.
First, define yourself a "splash screen" using a panel, and assign your bmap to it.
DONT assign the panel an x_size or y_size, and it will inherit the size of the bmap.
Then whenever the screen resolution is changed, or when making the panel visible,
you need to recalculate the panels scale_x and scale_y values according to the required result...
EG : (assumes panel is named 'splash')
splash.pos_x = splash.pos_y = 0;
splash.scale_x = screen_size.x / splash.bmap.width;
splash.scale_y = screen_size.y / splash.bmap.height;

Thank you very much. I made a function splash_startup to control the splash size
function painel_startup()
{
while(1)
{
splash.pos_x = splash.pos_y = 0;
splash.scale_x = screen_size.x / splash.bmap.width;
splash.scale_y = screen_size.y / splash.bmap.height;
wait(1);
}
}

Good stuff. Well done. And Im glad to help... One suggestion though, to avoid 'wasting' horsepower with un-necessary tasks, I would change your code to this...
function painel_startup()
{
while(1)
{
if(is(splash, SHOW))
{
splash.pos_x = splash.pos_y = 0;
splash.scale_x = screen_size.x / splash.bmap.width;
splash.scale_y = screen_size.y / splash.bmap.height;
}
wait(1);
}
}
That way it only actively re-sizes the splash if its actually visible... There are other optimizations you could do, but this will get rid of the worst of it... [DEIT] Do I see a hand-icon ripped from Dungeon Keeper in the screen-shots? Or is it just a good copy...

Ok, I made a var KlX = 9; in the code start. I change the function to;
function painel_startup()
{
while(KlX==9)
{
splash.pos_x = splash.pos_y = 0;
splash.scale_x = screen_size.x / splash.bmap.width;
splash.scale_y = screen_size.y / splash.bmap.height;
wait(1);
}
}
In this way, just until KlX is = 9 the while will work. When the game start the KlX change to 0, no more needed the scale of intro panel. This is a good solution ? Thank you for the help. BR

Ok, Thank you for the help. I will get a look in the VOID solution, but, maybe the resize is needed if the player change thesettings in-game and return to start screen. edit** I change to;
void painel_startup()
{
while(1)
{
splash.pos_x = splash.pos_y = 0;
splash.scale_x = screen_size.x / splash.bmap.width;
splash.scale_y = screen_size.y / splash.bmap.height;
wait(5);
}
}
Using the void now instead the function and chang the wait to 5 to get less resourses. This is ok now ? Thank you for the help. BR
