My titles are not displaying correctly, despite my spending hours in Photoshop resizing the images for each resolution.
My monitor is set at 1920x1080, one of the exact display sizes in the titlesbank.



Any thoughts? My game is nearly ready for Beta, except for this embarrassing glitch. BTW, I have no problem with the title going behind the menu buttons. I completely rebooted my computer and ran a fresh instance of GG, opened the level, and compiled the code, just to make sure there weren't any remnants of earlier adjustments.

@jjumisko hey there

Just a thought:
There is code in the stock scripts that kind of grows and shrinks the backdrop image - have you commented that out?
It is located at the end of the _main section
If not, it doesn't really work to well if text is part of the image.

Is your monitor scale set at 100 in settings

I checked the resolutions.lua and all of the listed resolutions are there. I also checked titles.lua as a sample of the scripts in the titlesbank nested folder where the images reside. I'm not sure I know what you mean by "commented that out".

Edit: Also, monitor was set to 100%.

Pretty sure as a start point I had to Rem out the backdrop moving in the title.lua .. I don't think I did much else

The code I mentioned moves the backdrop (image) in an attempt to make the experience more interesting for the player.
So although you have correct image sizes, if that code is running the image will get bigger and move around a tad, so text that almost covers the width of the backdrop like yours does will be off screen a tad.

I am pretty sure that this is what you issue is

Try commenting it out and see if it fixes your issue. So put -- in front of the code to comment it out.

See syncromesh's post above....

Personally I don't like the effect at all, and have completely removed it from my start screens... but commenting it out has the same affect.

Just to be clear commenting the line out ( so its ignored ) is simply adding the -- to the front of the line.
-- move backdrop … This is already commented out as its just telling you what this section of code does.

Thank you both. I will try that. Learned something new and very useful. I'm just beginning the Lua book, so it could take a bit of time for this old dog!

Hey, thanks. That fixed it, but I was a little too expansive in my titles design, so some of the text doesn't quite fit. Now I know that I need to leave quite a buffer around the edges of my graphics. At least they were centered. I'll have to go back to Photoshop to get the type set so that credits can be read. Very cool of you guys to be so patient with a noob.
