Hey. I was wondering if it was possible to increase the blank part of the screen, either via Lua or display configuration, in order to put some Lua drawings that will be recorded at the same time as the game in avi ? Something like that : https://i.imgur.com/vYydJ6X.png Or should I stick to draw over the game screen with a background and record two separate videos to mix in video editing later ? Not sure if I'm clear but thanks in advance.

I'd advise checking the "Adventures in Lua" thread, there's some helpful stuff in there. To directly answer your question: you can either create a separate lua canvas object or you can set client extra padding and put gui.DrawNew("Native") in your main loop

Yes, there is client.SetClientExtraPadding and client.SetGameExtraPadding. Check the Lua Functions List in the Lua Console window for even more functions and explanations!

I checked the lua help and somehow missed it... But it does exactly what I want, thanks a lot ! You can close the topic, if you want.

I would not suggest the latter as that will distort the emu surface rather than give extra blank space.

Nah it doesn't distort anything. It does what it's supposed to. Client Padding adds to the "native" surface (where the frame counter and input display is on; size will always be the same regardless Windows size settings). Game Padding adds to the "emu" surface (the pixels on the screen; drawings scale with Windows size settings).
