Speedometer needle

[aStiffSausage]

So, I'm retexturing and changing a speedometer script a bit. I've managed to get everything works, except the needle. I've tried with different values on opcode 074B, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Problem is, when I don't move (needle pointing straight down), needle texture seems to be stretched, and needle isn't inside the speedo. It also happens when needle is pointing up, but when it's pointing straight to the left or right, there is no problem.

 

Can someone help me with this?

The cif and cifn textur is displayed oval. It's because you have modified the textur and modified the textur display codes to have it round.

For more help we need your textures.

Ok, here:

 

 

 

Still making the textures, just need to get the script function well before spending lots of hours on textures

 

But the idea is, that needle goes barely inside the white/blue/black border on speedo, you get the idea when you put those two textures on editing program and spin the needle

 

And I would also be grateful for helping me to make the needle stop at 260 km/h, so it would "shake" at that speed but go no further.

Your cif is also shown oval

just use the original codes of Olegators speedo:

 

038D: draw_texture 16 position 550.0 360.0 size 191.25 170.0 RGBA 255 255 255 255 03E3: set_texture_to_be_drawn_antialiased 1 074B: draw_texture 15 position 550.0 360.0 scale 191.25 170.0 angle [email protected] color_RGBA 255 255 255 255

 

then it looks good for me, the STRELK moves over the scale near to the border

For me it still looks wierd

 

Two pics, one wierd, one nice

 

 

Tried also with different resolution, lower the resolution, less buggy. But game looks then bad then

On 640x480 it looks about what I'm looking for, but it just looks so bad with that low resolution.

resolution 1280 x 1024

 

have you changed the code at 2 parts?

one for the day and one for the night?

Some time ago on Sannybuilder forum (I can't remember the author, sorry) I found a scale fix for rotating textures. It works nicely in The '95 Story.

 

 

0A8D: [email protected] = read_memory 0xC17044 size 4 virtual_protect 0 0A8D: [email protected] = read_memory 0xC17048 size 4 virtual_protect 00093: [email protected] = integer [email protected] to_float  0093: [email protected] = integer [email protected] to_float 0073: [email protected] /= [email protected] 0007: [email protected] = 175.0   // Y scale006B: [email protected] *= [email protected] 0013: [email protected] *= 0.7

 

 

Pass it as your textures' Y scale.

ZAZ, yep, changed both night and day, and I think that why it worked for you but not for me was caused because you run on 1280x1024 and I run on 1280x768 (Laptop) Thanks for your efforts anyways

 

 

SilentPL, got it work now, thanks a lot Never would have figured that out, still a bit buggy but soon finished

 

 

 

PS. Still got one thing: Is it possible to make the needle "shake" at 260-265 km/h, so it would stay there and go no further? I got an idea for it, like when it would pass some value, it would be returned it to a bit previous value, as simplified: When needle reaches 265 km/h, it would be returned to 260 km/h, making it look shaking, but digital meter would still keep counting kilometers.

Wow. Thanks a lot, both of you. Wouldn't figured out any of those by myself, take some 's
