Ok. I am meking a split screen game and I hava this problem. When I split the screen in two parts the parts are like... what's the word... could it be streched. So they don't look normal. When I split the screen in four part tehre isn't any problem. And in two player mode there is no reason for plitting the screen in two parts. I know you know the answer so please...

when you reshape the camera viewport, its like streatching or squashing an image in a program like photoshop of the such - to retain the proper sizing you have to change the dimentions by equal amounts.
The following values will always retain the correct screen dimentions:

160x120
320x240
640x480
400x300
800x600
512x384
1024x768

More are available - and these can be found by dividing a known 'true' dimention (one that displays correctly) by 1/2 or 1/3 or whatever on both sides eg:
1/2 of 800 = 400
1/2 of 600 = 300
Do this to get the correct size for each viewport

So the simple solution is not to use the whole screen in 2 player mode, try using the same size windows as you would in 4 player - but only create and use 2 of them.

Hope that helps!

Ask if u want any questions answering.

Mog.

I think that helps. When I get out of this bloody summer cottage I will test it.
Maybe then I will need to ask questions, who knows.

And use the correct forum next time! Didn't you see the post the top of the page?

"This borad is for snippets, not questions"

It seems people asking questions in the code snippets forum is a DB institution!
