What defines the size of menu elements?

[Vdude]

Hello, everyone!

I'm confused about what defines the size of menu elements, like the title pic (M_DOOM), the background and the skull selector(M_SKULL1).
I'm experimenting with HD menu items and I can't find out why some of the items appear with the wrong size.

So, for example, in gzdoom.pk3/menudef.txt, I have:

Code: Select all

DEFAULTLISTMENU
{
	Font "BigFont", "Untranslated"
	IfGame(Doom, Chex)
	{
		Selector "M_SKULL1", -32, -5
		Linespacing 16
		Font "BigFont", "Red"
	}(...)

(where I'm guessing the -32, -5 are the position of the selector)

And in gzdoom.pk3/animdefs.txt, I have:

Code: Select all

// Doom menu cursor
texture optional M_SKULL1
pic M_SKULL1 tics 8
pic M_SKULL2 tics 8
(...)

So, in my "mod", I'm using an HD selector/cursor, with more than 2 frames of animation. If I use my own file names, for example:

Code: Select all

texture optional M_SKULL1
	pic mskull1 tics 2
	pic mskull2 tics 2
	pic mskull3 tics 2
	pic mskull4 tics 2
	pic mskull5 tics 2

In game, the cursor will appear very large, not properly resized.

If I use the exact name, of the two vanilla sprites (M_SKULL1 & M_SKULL2), only those first 2 frames will appear correctly resized, but the rest will always be bigger.

I'm trying to find where is that size defined, so I can apply the same to all frames, and make them all properly sized, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. The only references I have to the M_SKULL1 are in gzdoom.pk3/animdefs.txt or gzdoom.pk3/menudef.txt. What am I missing?

Hugs and thanks in advance

Use the [wiki]TEXTURES[/wiki] lump to apply scaling to graphics.

Those graphics come from the IWAD. So open it in SLADE and look them up.
