nGUI scale problem

[sleglik]

Hi,

I have problem with nGUI and scale. My game will be for all resolutions (Android, iOS, PC). So any possible resolution all these platforms provides. I am designing that UI in 1024 x 768. In this resolution it looks good.

I tryed on UI Root (2D) change settings to all three options and nothing helped.

How to setup that some texture has width or height in %? For example I want to have that button has always 10% of width and 5% of height and doesn´t matter what resolution it is. Instead pixel I need percent. I found video how to solve scale but "Automatic" is in the older version.

I am really sorry if this topic already exists but this forum has 176 pages and search for scale offer no good answer.

If you want absolute scaling, use UIStretch. Set its Relative Size to 0.1 (10%) and 0.05 (5%).
Otherwise, select the UI Root and change the ScalingStyle and see if PixelPerfect/FixedSize/FixedSizeOnMobile works best for you.

No it doesn´t help.

Can you show me how to do to have 1 UI for all resolutions? That scales jumps from one location to another.

I tryed every possible combinations.

UIStrech has 7 options, UIRoot has 3 options in total it is 21 combinations = nothing works

Honestly very bad plugin. I don´t understand that happiness with this. I have to use regular GUI system.

Hey Sleglik,

Perhaps you could share what exactly is not working? Are you using NGUI 3 or 2? Are UIAnchors what you are looking for? Screenshots always help.

Cheers,

Ivo

Okay, look at this picture. I have texture that is part of the GamePanel. This panel is only during the player´s turn. This texture must have 100% width, 100% height of the screen. It will make effect of border of the screen.

My problem is when I attach UIStretch that blue points for resize does not work. So I cannot move with that.  I am unable to fit to that camera border .

This is only one example my problems with scale. I need to set that I design my UI for 1024x768 and scale will be calculated according current resolution.

I will give you example why UIStretch is not good.

I will create some button. I will manually change use that blue points size, position (everything). Now I have to find out size of that button. After that I have to manually recalculate how many percent is that button and than I can put correct value into UIStretch .

You still haven't mentioned what version of NGUI you are using.

Are you trying to create a fully modular user interface where the dimensions of everything scale as you change the size of the screen?
