Hello,

I'm an arc newbie and tried to use my own sprites. In a minimalistic example (no sprite.setSize() or similar) I tried to load my own image (64x98). For reasons I don't know about the size of the sprite varied depending on the window resolution and was almost never as I had expected, leading to strange blurring. I also tried to use bitmaps instead of pngs (and I also resized the images to powers of two), but that didn't make a difference. Can somebody help me out?

Regards,
HienTau

Hi, maybe you could send me a zip file with source + art so I can know exactly what type of 'blurring' has occurred? ( clayasaurus@gmail.com )

With Arc, the Window resolution is always virtually 800x600, so if you make your resolution be 800x300 the screen would appear to be 'squished.'

The reason I do this is so that when you resize the screen, things are still drawn relative to the mouse coordinates so you can still click on things even if they start to look 'squished.'

If this is too much of a problem I could make you a function that disables this.

I found out your problem, there were two things wrong. One of the things I've fixed in my code was in the arc/gfx/texture.d file I changed "SMOOTHING_ON" to "SMOOTHING_OFF." Download the new package with this fix here --> http://svn.dsource.org/projects/arcgames/downloads/zipfiles/arc/arcpkg1.zip

The second problem was your texture size. In reality, opengl only likes power of two texture sizes, but with gluBuild2DMipMaps I use you can use any texture size you want, however the crisper images will still need to be close to the power of two sizes.

I sent you updated art for your dude through email, though you may want to draw him a belt.
