Hi guys!
Well, I worked a lot and through a combination of intuition, openGl forums reading, luck, trials and errors, not to mention a good reading of the SGDK2 sourcecode, I succeeded!!! :nerd:
As far as I can see, the zooming now works well for window resizing. I wasn't far off with my idea of a camera. In fact, not only must the Display size change but there is a Rectangle within it that must be resized too. This Rectangle is used to draw the graphics on, like the screen of a cinema (as I understood it).
To achieve this, I modified another line of code in the Display.cs class. In the function "Scissor" I changed this line
GL.Scissor(rect.X, ClientRectangle.Height - rect.Y - rect.Height, rect.Width, rect.Height);
for this line
GL.Scissor(rect.X, rect.Y, ClientSize.Width, ClientSize.Height);
And in the MapBase.cs class, for the TotalView property, I changed this line
return m_Display.DisplayRectangle;for these lines
int rectWidth = Display.GetScreenSize(m_Display.GameDisplayMode).Width;
int rectHeight = Display.GetScreenSize(m_Display.GameDisplayMode).Height;
return new Rectangle(0, 0, rectWidth, rectHeight);I would like to explain exactly what I did and how that came to work, but I'm really not sure myself...
My biggest hints were bluemonkmn comments on these parts of code.
I didn't test if it works for games where the display is splitted for 2 players for example. Would someone like to test it?
I'm providing my example here. As always, look for modifications in the code by searching for "vincent". in these sections, the original code is commented out and my lines of codes are clearly identified.
Thanks a lot for your help bluemonkmn!
I really appreciate it!
