Centering impossible
 

Hi,

I've created a news letterbox with the dimensons 421x85, which only contains two quickslotbars and the experiencebar. The letterbox is supposed to be placed centered at the bottom but I can't get it working as it should. I've attached the current result and here's my xml-code:

Thanks for your help

As far as I know you have to define both X and Y coordinates to get it positioned (but I may be wring).

To get the centering you must however calculate the X position:
X = (screen width / 2 ) - (toolbar width / 2)


You can always check out my tool i've written for this purposes.

I've already tried your tool and I've found out the coordinates, but I hope, that I don't need coordinates since I wont change standardposition of the letterbox. Well, I guess that the threadtitle is wrong. The real problem is not the position but the size: The width should be 421 pixels, but the game ignores my definitions for the width of the letterbox ;(

Ok.

Unfortionately I believe that all four values has to be set before the game actually take them into account.

The bar has to have both width and height as well as X and Y coordinates. Atleast that's my experience.

And that's why I created the tool in the first place :)

And I might add that allowing us to set only one of these values (as you did) or define a custom "alignment" for the toolbar is in a suggestion made in the "Turbine Wish List" forum.

Well, I've red the tutorial in this forum and I thought, that I don't have to set values, which I don't want to change. I'll try all four values now.

I agree you shouldn't have to, this is a bug in my opinion :)

Ok, im playing around with the settings and it seems, that I really don't have to set every value. Currently the size ist correct, but the positions are wrong.

Can you post an updated XML and screenshot?

Not necessary anymore, size and position are correct now :) Thanks for yor help.

But I've found several problems:
- if work with this definitions and if you enter the windowedmode, the letterbox becomes messed up, which is very annoying since I'm switching between fullscreen and windowmode
- your tool is fantastic, but it should not edit the xml-file directly because it messes up the xml-file. The code generated by your tool should be presented in a pop-up for copy&paste

Now I'm trying to get the other elements into the correct position. Here's the current xml-code:
