Hello,

I was working on level 2 of at least 10 levels of my game, so I'm obviously in very early in the development process. I did not like those default images on every test build, so I decided to put a pause on the level design and do the UI first. I have changed the Title Splash screen, game menu music, cursor and added that Visit Website button successfully. Then I moved on to title, loading, about, end and lost images. They do show up but like a cropped version of the original in the standalone build. I need those images to show up perfectly. Can someone please help me with that? I created a folder named "custom" in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Game Guru\Files\titlesbank" and changed the text inside "style.txt" in the same directory from "default" to "custom". So, now my custom cursor, splash screen, music and website button work perfectly. Those 5 custom images do not. And I have tried a lot of things inside "setup.ini" to make it work. For example, changing these values:

disabledynamicres=0
fullscreen=1
width=-1
height=-1
depth=32
aspectratio=0

They are all of ".png" format. I would move on to changing designs for the buttons but I'm kinda discouraged by this thing that is bothering me for a week now. Any help would be very much appreciated. Apologies if this is not the right place to post this. I gave the test version to 2 different people and well, they have confirmed that it's not a problem with my PC only. Right now I'm using a fresh installation and untouched "setup.ini" of GameGuru. The problem still exists and I don't know how to fix it. Could really use some help here. I have also tried replacing the files in the default folder without changing anything inside "style.txt". I have a GTX 1050Ti and my screen resolution is 1920x1080, if anyone needs to know. Please help me fix those 5 images. Title Splash screen works fine. I made new images for these resolutions: 1024x768, 1152x864, 1280x720, 1280x800, 1280x960, 1366x768, 1440x900, 1600x900, 1600x1200, 1680x1050, 1920x1080, 1920x1200. I know there are 4 extra resolutions, I did try using just 8 but same problem, custom images are feeling like they're being cropped or something. So, I thought adding 4 extra resolutions would not hurt and maybe solve the problem but that did not work.

Thank you.

It's because the background images in the menu screens are animated, they drift from side to side. You need to disable the animation in the scripts. Don't ask me how though, somebody else will have to answer that.

yh go to
Files/titlesbank/default/
open the script that relates to the image
i.e. loadgame.lua
and find something like
SetSpriteSize ( g_sprBackdrop, 110, 110 )
SetSpriteOffset ( g_sprBackdrop, 5, 5 )
change it to
SetSpriteSize ( g_sprBackdrop, 100, 100 )
--SetSpriteOffset ( g_sprBackdrop, 5, 5 )
then in the main(e) function you will see something like
-- move backdrop
SetSpritePosition ( g_sprBackdrop, math.cos(g_posBackdropAngle* 0.0174533)*5, math.sin(g_posBackdropAngle*0.0174533)*5 )
change it to
-- move backdrop
--SetSpritePosition ( g_sprBackdrop, math.cos(g_posBackdropAngle* 0.0174533)*5, math.sin(g_posBackdropAngle*0.0174533)*5 )

repeat for all images that are wrong

there is a trial version (2 days) of Asset Manager, comes with Menu Creator this may help you fix your issue, if you already have your images and cursors setup then it will only take you about 5 mins https://forum.game-guru.com/thread/220932?page=3#msg2631995

Thank you all for your help, I really appreciate it. Thanks, smallg, that fixed the problem. I wonder why GameGuru doesn't already come with that. Anyways, I can finally move on to button design and then level design and missions. Thanks again.
