.Ini question

**ScoDog** · 04-21-2006, 12:34 AM

I did my searching

(maybe not well enough) and I'm a bit confused about editing the .ini files. I understand how the location of items of placed by percentages left and top.
Are width and height in pixels? since the sizes in the ini file dont seem to match what photoshop seem to say they are.

yes, if I remember correctly, the width and height is in pixels.

Thats what I read but for some reason the .ini files I compare to with the image size in photoshop are so far apart.
1 button I was testing was 50x50 pixels acording to photoshop but in the .ini file it says 9x15 thats why I asked

post a image and I'll check.

here is the button

and and the part of the ini file
PLAY_LEFT=56.05
PLAY_TOP=86
PLAY_WIDTH=9
PLAY_HEIGHT=15

is this from an existing skin?

if they set the width to 9 pixel, that doesn't mean the button is 9 pixels wide, it only mean that the clickable are will be that wide.

Yes it is forgot what one it was exactly and Im a t work right now so I cant check. Im just tring to figure this stuff out so I can create my own skin.

Thats what I thought also but it seem that no matter where i click on the button it registers in the full skin.

OK made it home and messed with the ini changed it to the pixels photoshop said thay were and it blew everything outta wack. SO Im guessing its not pixels

No.... width and height are in percentual of the portion u are editing.

If u are editing menu and menu is 100x100% big then the with and height are in percentual of the 100x100% of your skin.

If u are editing menu and menu is for exemple 100x80% u have to keep in mind that the button width and height are in percentual of the portion u are editing, not the whole skin.
