there seems to be a problem with the screen scaling incorrectly. It seems when you make the application go full resolution or bigger then your original virtual resolution display size you get scan lines.

here are the pics atached.

This is a limit of virtual resolution. This is the same problem as changing the Zoom Factor for some unrounded values. So, due to Float precision and Screen Resolution , scaling up is sometimes not reliable.. And i'm not sure it can be resolved because it's not really a bug.

ok.... so its best to code with a bigger resolution and scale down from it to smaller screens to avoid the lines then.....hopefully others are aware of this and im glad i found out now before getting to far in.

is anybody stuck on making a good tile scrolling engine?

if so id gladly post what i have as i think it works very well and only draws tiles that are needed to be displayed.

humm.... mabey i should post it in the usefull functions competition.

Try the SetSpriteUVBorder command with a value of 1 and see if that fixes it. Are these individual images or part of an atlas texture?

yup thanks paul that fixed it up nicely!

Those pesky lines are gone even using a decimal place with that command.

I new there had to be some sort of easy fix to it that didnt involve changing the scale or redrawing the tiles bigger.
