Title: Possible to make Robospin scale with aspect ratio?
Post by: tonberryhunter on August 16, 2017, 10:42:44 PM
I have been working for months on a custom Attract Mode theme based off of the original Robospin.  I'm trying to figure out how to scale the wheel images with a 4:3 aspect ratio.  I managed to get the cab (cropped photoshop), snap and background (cropped in photoshop) art to scale correctly but not sure what I need to edit in the layout.nut file to correct the wheel.  Other than intentionally distorting all my 16:9 assets in Photoshop I dont know how to fix this.  Perhaps someone verse with the coding used in these layouts might be of assistance. :)

Here are two example images of my main menu.

16:9

4:3 (with distorted wheel images and pointer)

I dont see an option for that within the .nut file under the wheel settings.  Also that setting seemed to have no effect on the rest of the elements so I had to manually adjust them til they fit right.

Still don't know how to fix the aspect ratio of the pointer.  Thats easy enough to remake in photoshop.
