WidePix v1.3 [complete/final] - GZDoom 4.7.1

[Scuba Steve]

After some pixel pushing and serious chopping... I think I have a serviceable Plutonia Titlescreen that does not mess with the 4:3 image. It's not as nice as the other... but it fits the project more accurately. I'll add it to the google drive with all the others.

Now the only edited image is TNT interpic that removed a single pixel black border.

I really think that this should be added as a standard package to GZDoom. Can someone point the developers to this?

Am already aware of this. If that's really a common desire, then we'll have to see how Graf thinks, but let's wait until it's finished.

The feature itself still has some issues (there's one open issue still, and I haven't checked all of the 2D screens, and lastly I have no idea how to correctly handle the bunny scroller (it's also glitchy last I checked))

How about the widescreen statusbar (like this) included in this mod?

I agree here as well

Okay so umm... I just came to the realization that I may have gotten the size incorrect for 21:9. Is it really 474x200?

Actually are these numbers even correct? I want to know the exact dimensions needed to make sure the graphics scale cleanly to cover the pillarboxes.

320x200 -> 16:9 -> 426x200
320x200 -> 21:9 -> 474x200

If we say that 320x200 is 4:3 (it's 16:10, but then it's aspect-corrected by being stretched vertically 20%, ending at 16:12, which is 4:3), then we can simply say that 4:3 is the same thing as 12:9. Now we can compare just the width, since 200 with ARC is 9.
320 is 12. 320/12 = 26⅔
26⅔ × 16 = 426⅔ -- to be safe you could round up to 427.
26⅔ × 21 = 560 -- and since 21 is a multiple of 3, we get a round number, hurray.

So for 21:9 pics, you need 560x200.

[Nash]

And what about 16:9? Is 426x200 correct? Sorry I need the answer spoonfed to me, I'm not exactly known for being good at maths... I just want to avoid doing wasted artwork...

356x200?

[Gez]

Technically you need 426⅔x200 to have a true 16:9, so it's up to you if that ⅔ should be rounded up to 427 or down to 426.

That's what my lines were about. If you consider that 320x200 stretched to 320x240 is 12:9 (4:3, where you multiply both factors by 3 so they're kept proportional), then you have only one value to keep track of, that's the width.
12:9 -> 320
16:9 -> 426⅔
21:9 -> 560
32:9 -> 853⅓

356x200

13.35:9?

[Nash]

Okay great, so it looks like I only got the size wrong for 21:9. Scuba Steve gonna be mad. :P Steve, if you feel it's too much trouble, that's okay - I can take whatever we already have now and just extend them further. But yeah, I insist on making this pack 21:9-accurate because if I only make it 16:9 accurate, someone who plays on ultrawide will complain. So might as well do the work up front.

I wonder if this is also why WidePix scales weirdly on 16:9...

[drfrag]

This is not that simple then. 16:9 = 1.7777... 356:200 = 1.78
Now i see you need that for aspect correction but the screen resolution is 356.

[dmslr]

drfrag, you have to consider aspect ratio correction.

[drfrag]

Yeah i saw that and edited my post.

I really think that this should be added as a standard package to GZDoom.

Any possible license issue?
