Gui resolution

[botanist]

How to prevent my gui from being f*cked up in different resolutions? I'm already using relative values, but like the admin resource: It will look in every resolution the same. How to do that?

You can get screen size by using guiGetScreenSize, see details here https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GuiGetScreenSize

...

Not how to get screen size.

@ Name: Well, this one is old Using SilentStrike way, way more.

you must code 'manual relative' as I call it

get GUI size, and set some absolute amount of pixels from it.

example:

local x, y = guiGetScreenSize () 
    windowX, windowY = (x / 2) - (windowWidth / 2), (y / 2) - (windowHeight / 2) 

will center a window.

You should code a GUI absolutely and then move the window. The stuff will stay because it is child of window, and so it will look alike and can be placed alike on all resolutions.

edit: parentheses fail

This would help getting the values https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Gui ... nSize#Tips

@ Zango: Oh tnx, good to know that I don't need to create a whole new gui ( GUIEditor ftw <3 )

use absolutes rather than relatives - they looks the same on all resolutions, but remember that some ppl are using 640x480 res, so bigger windows = fail on this res.
