Need screen resolutions available

[SpiderMack]

You need all screen resolutions to adjust game resolution in game menu later, need function to switch resolution.
Screen Class need it.

[epsilonion]

The function to get all possible resolutions is

posRender = render.getPossibleResolutions();


to set the resolution:
render.setResolution(resolution);

yes, the lua api epsilonion posted is the correct library to use for adjusting game settings.

If you go into the installation and look at the Data/Scripts folder, you will find SceneScript_GUI.lua which contains the code to edit the render settings and is what is shown when pressing F1 in the player or end game on Gen1. Gen2 player and end game are yet to come.

Hi All,

I know this is an oldish topic, but it does have the *extremely* useful comment from SP:

If you go into the installation and look at the Data/Scripts folder, you will find SceneScript_GUI.lua which contains the code to edit the render settings

and my comment is regarding the resolutions obtained following the code in that file

When I print out the table of Resolutions (using resolutions = render.getPossibleResolutions ( ) ) I get this:

Code: Select all

table: 3039D258 {
  [16] => "800 x 600"
  [15] => "640 x 480"
  [14] => "1920 x 1080"
  [13] => "1680 x 1050"
  [12] => "1600 x 900"
  [08] => "1360 x 768"
  [09] => "1366 x 768"
  [11] => "1440 x 900"
  [10] => "1400 x 1050"
  [07] => "1280 x 960"
  [06] => "1280 x 800"
  [05] => "1280 x 768"
  [04] => "1280 x 720"
  [02] => "1280 x 1024"
  [03] => "1280 x 600"
  [00] => "1024 x 768"
  [01] => "1152 x 864"
}


The Resolutions themselves look fine, but the order is not the most intuitive. Even if re-ordered by the Key, they are still out of order:

Code: Select all

1024 x 768
1152 x 864
1280 x 1024
1280 x 600
1280 x 720
1280 x 768
1280 x 800
1280 x 960
1360 x 768
1366 x 768
1400 x 1050
1440 x 900
1600 x 900
1680 x 1050
1920 x 1080
640 x 480
800 x 600


As you can see, the lowest possible resolutions appear AFTER the highest possible.

This is really just an FYI in case you want to re-order them before the big launch just to stop any possible complaints later.

Yes, i jhust noticed this yesterday myself, and may try to reorganise it to make a bit more sense. but i think for now while developing the pause menu/options screen, it is fine as when its fixed, it will automatically adapt
