Problem with Image on screen(Resolutions problem)

[DjSt3rios]

Hello, I have a problem.. I have 1440 x 900 resolution, and i made an image appear down-left on the screen... but a friend has 1024 x 768 resolutios and he cant see it. Can i make somehow read the resolution and if its lower, draw the image higher? thanks.

u can make the image display on any resolution if u use floats between 0 and 1 (relative positioning)

  
-- image settings 
local ImageX = 0.45 
local ImageY = 0.8 
local ImageWidth = 0.5 
local ImageHeight = 0.5 
  
-- calculate pixel positions 
local ScreenWidth, ScreenHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 
  
ImageX = ScreenWidth * ImageX 
ImageY = ScreenHeight * ImageY 
ImageWidth = ScreenWidth * ImageWidth 
ImageHeight = ScreenHeight * ImageHeight

use

screenWidth,screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize()

and then screenWidth and screenHeight +/- to put your image where you want

I tried that, but the image becomes too big.. any other idea?

[Uisaqin]

find the width and height in pixels the image looks good at on your resolution

eg. 200 x 250

then do 200 / 1440 = 0.139

and 250 / 900 = 0.278

then just update the floats

local ImageWidth = 0.139 
local ImageHeight = 0.278

How should i find the pixels the image looks on my resolution

or do u mean to resize it as its big?

[Uisaqin]

display the image on your screen using the width and height of the image file, if it displays too big then yeah keep making the image smaller until it looks good

hmm.. im trying, actually now i got a problem with a text mostly...

I made it like that:

local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 
local x1,y1,x2,y2 = screenWidth*0.0,screenHeight*0.88,screenWidth*0.8,screenHeight*0.8 
  

But it appears in the middle and a lil bit left. But i want to make it More to left, and i have to make it like:

local x1,y1,x2,y2 = screenWidth*0.0-700 

The thing is if i put -700 it wont work properly with other resolution

[Uisaqin]

if its at screenWidth - 700 pixels on your screen, thats 1440 - 700 = 740 pixels from the left.

or relative: 740 / 1440 = 0.51388888888888888888888888888889

so this should make it look the same on any resolution

local x1 = screenWidth*0.5139
