Screen gets clipped in "stretch" mode - Rhywun - 09-07-2011

OS 10.7.1
MMHD 1.0.0

I've noticed that when I choose the

full screen

and

stretch

options, after I move around a few rooms, sometimes an inch or two gets clipped off the left and right sides of the view. I can still see Jack moving from room to room, but the walls and floor are gone. Undecided

Can you post a screenshot or two of this? (Command-shift-3) Please take one of the screenshots where Jack is visible on the sides but the walls/floor is not. Thanks.

Here you go, I've got the same problem. Not interfering too much with the pleasure that I'm getting from the game.

Alan and Rhywun -- what native resolution is your display? (i.e. what is the maximum resolution you can choose in the Displays system preferences panel?)

Re: Screen gets clipped in "stretch" mode - VernJensen - 09-12-2011

The reason I ask is that the picture you posted is 1280x1024, which would be a 1.25 aspect ratio (or

tall

). Normal aspect ration for older displays was 1.33333, for say 800x600. Most Macs nowadays ship with

widescreen

which is 1.6 aspect ration (such as mine: 1680x1050).

What kind of Mac do you have? I'm curious what ships with such a weird display ratio.

Anyway, Midnight Mansion is totally untested on

tall

displays. I'm assuming when you play with

stretch to fit

turned off, fullscreen, that there are black borders at the top and bottom of the screen? Can you send a screenshot of this?

The

Stretch to fit

is currently only coded to stretch to fit wide displays, not tall ones. I don't have any tall ones to test on either, so it might be hard to fix this. Do you really need

stretch to fit

Mac Mini, 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo. Mac OS X 10.6.8. Yeah, yeah, I need an upgrade Smile

. Until you mentioned it I hadn't even noticed the stretch to fit option, which, when applied seems to correct the problem. Thanks. I'll get back to you if it comes back.

I just fixed this. Well mostly. It took me two WHOLE DAYS to get this sorted out. It's actually not quite perfect -- there is a small gap between the stats panel and the top of the gameplay area when the

stretch to fit

is turned off. But it's close enough.

Thanks, Vern.
