Hello,

I was wondering if I will need to adjust the text on screen for each screen resolution.

If I use 1980x1080 as my screen resolution and I use TextCenterOnXColor(30,20,7,"Test",255,255,255)

Will it show up in a different location depending on the player's screen resolution?

In my experience it does show up at a different location. But I want to make sure if anyone knows a solution to this problem before I code in checks for this and set all my text to different locations.

It will show up, centred, in the same location but the size will be different on different resolutions so the left/right hand edge of the text will be in a different place.

I still wonder if a useful idea would be text boxes get turned into images that could be scaled any amount **automagically-- I wish** by the engine and placed right where they need to go. So WYSIWYG in GG!

Maybe GG should have different font sizes for different res, I recall some issue about the indented text when automagically resize the font to fit the screen res.
