My script is basically scrolling the text up (printing the text 1 pixel higher every 2 frames). I have the window at the bottom set up and working, but when I draw the text high enough that it starts to go above the end of the frame, it starts going on top of the game instead. (See the top of the words "Missed Treasures" there.)
What I'm trying to do is to draw the text the same way, but have the top of it (above my frame) disappear instead of getting drawn over the game, while the part of the text in my frame still gets drawn as normal. Is this possible?Use this inside the function you made for the drawing, assuming that "y_pos" (or whatever you called) is the one incremented every 2 frames. Oh and "160" because in the image the uppermost pixel of the bottom window is 320, and the gui.drawText function uses the original game coordinates, which is usually half the resolution the emu is displaying.Language: luaif y_pos >= 160 then gui.drawText(x_pos, y_pos, "Missed Treasures") end
I wrote my own lua code to approximate centering text for a few things (not shown in this screenshot), but without measuring out and writing tests for every single character for each font and font size I use (or using fixed-width fonts only), it'll never look quite right.
So, for example:Language: lualocal font_dimensions = { -- I got these values from tests, unfortunately, I'll have to check for every font and size you need ["Courier New 11"] = {width = 7, height = 12}, ["Courier New 12"] = {width = 7.5, height = 13}, ["Courier New 14"] = {width = 9, height = 15}, ["Courier New 16"] = {width = 10, height = 17}, ["Consolas 11"] = {width = 6, height = 12}, ["Consolas 12"] = {width = 7, height = 13}, ["Consolas 14"] = {width = 9, height = 15} --etc } -- Custom text drawing function local function draw_text(x, y, text, colour, bg_colour, size, font, x_offset, y_offset) -- Handling dimensions local font_width = font_dimensions[font .. " " .. tostring(size)].width local font_height = font_dimensions[font .. " " .. tostring(size)].height local text_length = string.len(text)*font_width -- Handling x/y offset, if used if x_offset then x = x - math.floor(text_length*x_offset) end if y_offset then y = y - math.floor(text_height*y_offset) end gui.drawText(x, y, text, colour, bg_colour, size, font) end
results in: (Notice that I drawed a pixel in the same coordinate of the text, for reference)Language: lua-- test gui.drawPixel(120, 0) draw_text(120, 0, "TEST CENTERED TEXT", "white", 0, 12, "Courier New", 0.5) -- this 0.5 makes the text 50% to the left of the x you set
2) Use BizHawk's font (a modified Courier New, actually), by using gui.text instead of gui.drawText. There are advantages (size is fixed, no matter how upscaled is the emu) and disadvantages (text doesn't appear when capturing the screen) of using this method of drawing text. Its dimensions are: width = 10 pixels, height = 14 pixels.
with this lua script:
The alignment isn't quite right yet, because it's depending on the coordinates that draw the text backgrounds, and those also seem to be off. (This has the same behavior in release 1.12.0.) If I fix this so the alignment works properly, I'll upload my changes somewhere so they can hopefully be brought into BizHawk officially, if there'd be any interest in that.Language: luawhile true do gui.drawLine(80,0,80,240,"white") gui.drawText(80,10,"Left-Aligned Text","white","black",10,"Munro","regular") gui.drawText(80,20,"Centered Text","white","black",10,"Munro","regular","center") gui.drawText(80,30,"Right-Aligned Text","white","black",10,"Munro","regular","right") gui.drawLine(0,80,240,80,"white") gui.drawText(0,80,"Top Text","white","black",10,"Munro","regular","left","top") gui.drawText(50,80,"Middle Text","white","black",10,"Munro","regular","left","middle") gui.drawText(120,80,"Bottom Text","white","black",10,"Munro","regular","left") emu.frameadvance() end event.onexit(function () gui.clearGraphics() end)
