Other [SOLVED] [XUI2D] Walking Character resolution

[LucaMs]

In the B4J version the birds look good. In the B4A version they lose a lot of quality. This is due to the too large size of the sprites, for smartphones. I decreased them up to 23% and this is the difference:

The image below (both from my smartphone) is after the reduction to 23%, of course.


Also, there is a horizontal black line, approximately 2/3 of the height of the screen. I think it is the border of the command rectangle, whose color should be set to Transparent.

Loading the original, large, not reduced to 23% image file into a small ImageView, the quality is very good.

So in XUI2D, what does that loss of quality depend on? BitmapCreator?

EDIT: I don't know XUI2D. I don't think it's BC; most likely:

Private Sub CreateBird
'
'
    Dim wrapper As X2BodyWrapper = TileMap.CreateObject(template)
'
'
End sub

It is related to a performance optimization that is less relevant nowadays.

You can "disable" it with this code:

ImageView1.Width = ImageView1.Width * xui.Scale
ImageView1.Height = ImageView1.Height * xui.Scale
X2.Initialize(Me, ImageView1, world) '<--- this is the original line in Game.Initialize
ImageView1.Width = ImageView1.Width / xui.Scale
ImageView1.Height = ImageView1.Height / xui.Scale

Yes, it works (I don't know how but it works ?)

Play with the source code. It is included in X2 Source Folder.

Is there a reason (and a solution) for the two sidebands, unused/unusable spaces?
Currently it is the only major problem.

The game screen size is based on the ratio defined in the designer, which should be the same as the world width / height ratio.
You can make the two imageviews fill the screen.
