BECAUSE I CAN
"As you sought to steal a kingdom for yourself, so must you do again, a thousand times over. For a theft, a true theft, must be practiced to be earned." - The terms of Nyrissa's curse, Pathfinder: Kingmaker

==================

"I am Curiosity, and I've always wondered what would become of you, here at the end of the world." - The Guide/The Curious Other, Othercide

"When you work with water, you have to know and respect it. When you labour to subdue it, you have to understand that one day it may rise up and turn all your labours into nothing. For what is water, which seeks to make all things level, which has no taste or colour of its own, but a liquid form of Nothing?" - Graham Swift, Waterland

Fields 7 and 8 in the show-subtitle SEXP center it in the screen. Maybe you could try that and see if it works?

Code: [Select]
show-subtitle
Shows a subtitle  Takes 4 to 12 arguments...
1: X position (negative value to be from right of screen)
2: Y position (negative value to be from bottom of screen)
3: Text to display
4: Time to be displayed, not including fadein/out
(optional)
5: Image name
6: Fade in time
7: Center horizontally?
8: Center vertically?
9: Width
10: Text red component (0-255)
11: Text green component (0-255)
12: Text blue component (0-255)

It doesn't even let me add data for 7 and 8. Once I get to #6 it stops allowing me altogether.

Well no worries. I just did my opening credit subtitles so that's 30 lines of text that should look decent on 1280 and a bit off centre on anything higher or lower.

Same here, 1024x768. I've got an 8 year old 15 inch CRT monitor, and a ~3 year old graphics card, a lowly Geforce 7600 GT. The monitor itself actually goes up to 1280x1024, but that limits the refresh rate to an eye-strainingly-slow 60 Hz (it's more likely that the flickering at 60Hz is my monitor's problem, since 60Hz is actually pretty normal for a refresh rate), and everything's too small anyway at that resolution on a 15 inch.

Because people don't understand ratios? I use 1280x960 too, because that's a 4:3 pixel ratio and my screen's physical width to height ratio is also 4:3. I don't get why we have 1280x1024 as a native resolution so much... :nervous:

Refresh rate of 60Hz will look like **** on any CRT

1280x1024 does look like garbage on a 4:3 CRT, but some of the 1280x1024 users here probably have 17-19" LCDs for which that resolution is in fact correct.

That resolution has become common over 1280x960 because it was at one time the largest resolution that could fit into the 1MB framebuffers on video cards. :p

If the text size doesn't scale, the text would still be unreadable on monitors with high pixel densities. It has been a while since I last tried out any subtitles though.

show-subtitle seems to accept all 12 arguments without a problem for me. From the current code it looks like it would be fairly straightforward to change it to use relative coordinates.
