Off-screen rendering?

[Robin]

Ported by dynamic maps & camera code over from my Dx8 engine and came up with this. Tiles and shit won't render half-way off screen or anything.

Fixes?

[Poyzin]

I don't know a fix. But everything looks messed up and off. The stat bars, Inventory+ Buttons, Map info. Is that like um? Purposely done?


But as for the in-game problems. Looks like something messed up the x and y map props? I wouldn't know. I don't code LOL

[Robin]

I'm not showing off the game, I'm showing a specific problem. I obviously haven't worked on the GUI yet. As for you guessing what the problem is, you kinda failed because I explained what the problem is.

Don't bother posting if you're gonna post such useless stuff ;D

What happens when you walk to the edge?

[Labmonkey]

The way i usually fix this is by when setting the rec, check if it is going to draw offscreen, and adjust accordingly.


ie, if x < 0 then recx = recx + x

eh not sure if that makes sense, but hope it helps

You're changing the games name O.O!?

As in when you walk towards a direction it renders only part by part and has black at the edges

of the screen?

[Robin]

Basically, the tiles around the edge won't render because a few of the pixels are off-screen.

If anything is even slightly off-screen, it wont render the entire thing.

You can see that in the tiles & trees.

Jacob found an alright method of fixing it, though.

I do that for sprites & animations, but doing this for EVERY tile would be laggy as fuck.

Did you take this screenshot while walking? Or is it like this when standing still too?

[Tony]

Danno if this would work since i just started programming again but

Code:

OpenSpace = PIC_X - (ScreenSizeX / PIC_X)
  
  If OpenSpace < PIC_X Then
  rec.left = pic_x - openspace

I thought you ran away to the army?

SIR YES SIR

[Robin]

Camera is easy, I not needed fpses atm ;D

[GIAKEN]

Well is there a way to fix this for DX7?
