SetResolution Causes Odd Windowing?

Bovine · May 2013

Hi All

I've recently received my backer unit and installed a drop of our game on it. 1080p is too rich for the per-pixel lighting we have going on, so we're setting the res to 720p but...

We get this odd cut out and the 720p framebuffer isn't scaled to fill the screen.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I should add that the directional buttons (which will naturally go on the OUYA verson) should be in the bottom right.

I'm having performance issues with Android Basic (we use Pro iOS) so I tried the trail of Pro Android - much the same tbh, fill rate problems.

Hi Bovine,
we had the same issue following just the example included in the OUYA Unity package.
They add these line to the code, which cause the smaller window:

Screen.SetResolution(1280, 720, m_fullScreen);
OuyaSDK.OuyaJava.JavaSetResolution("1280x720");

Just leave out the second line. This one is causing the windowing. For us, just using the Unity code

Screen.SetResolution(1280, 720, m_fullScreen);

did the job. We didn't find any problems, even the OUYA mouse pointer found the correct positions.

Oh sorry, just forgot:
m_fullScreen is a bool. Just type true.

Excellent! Thanks - I'd naively presumed I needed both the lines having copied them from the sample

Oopps yeah. I was trying to work out in the example when the resolution changed the mouse pointer was wrong for clicking on GUI elements.

Interesting if it fixed itself.

I think it may be changing the 3d canvas to 720 and then stretching it to 1080p.

My example I'm trying to get the TV to actually change resolutions.

TIm that would be great. Sadly while omitting the OuyaSDK call works for me, the mouse co-ordinates are all wrong in NGUI now :/

tgraupmann · May 2013

Yeah okay and with the line still in if you watch logcat it prints the new size. I was trying to get everything in the view to report 720p. This happens on the Java side if you follow the call into Java.

Bovine · May 2013

So what happens if you just make the java call, what's it doing? Is there some hackery I need to do to NGUI to get the mouse position working again?

tgraupmann · May 2013

k so let's say you make a call to:

Screen.SetResolution(1280, 720, m_fullScreen);

OuyaSDK.OuyaJava.JavaSetResolution("1280x720");

That invokes on the Unity plugin:

ajc.CallStatic("setResolution", resolutionId);

Now we are in OuyaUnityPlugin.java:

public static void setResolution(String resolutionId)

And the code sets the layout size:

else if (resolutionId.equals("1280x720"))

{

if (null != IOuyaActivity.GetLayout())

{

IOuyaActivity.GetActivity().runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

@Override

public void run() {

Log.i("Unity", "IOuyaActivity.GetLayout().layout(0, 0, 1280, 720);");

IOuyaActivity.GetLayout().getLayoutParams().width = 1280;

IOuyaActivity.GetLayout().getLayoutParams().height = 720;

IOuyaActivity.GetLayout().requestLayout();

}

});

}

And here is where we troubleshoot on what it should do to adjust the view size and get the resolution to change on the tv.

We use UIToolkit instead of NGUI. That's why we don't have the mouse issues. I think it does provide the same comfort and keeps drawcalls at minimum by dwaing meshes for the buttons that can be atlased and batched.

Bovine · June 2013

I see. One haven't used - had ezgui hit atlas creation a nightmare (or it was)

ClarkGame · June 2013

UIToolkit works perfect with TexturePacker – nice tool for atlassing. Combines the sprites, sorts them well (lot's of options) and gives you a JSON with the sprite coordinates that you can read with UIToolkit in Unity. Pretty awesome.

Bovine · June 2013

Sounds great. NGUI just handles it all for yah tbh but I think you can get at the uvs as well - just no need for what I'm doing tbh

tgraupmann · June 2013

I think fixing it on the Unity side is the wrong approach. The fix should be on the Java side to just fix the resolution correctly and get the TV to change resolution.

Bovine · June 2013

Absolutely - this is just temporary :)

carmineg · June 2013

Is there any word on this issue? I can't get my game to be in 720p properly. If I SetResolution to 720 it works, however... the mousepointer is sending the wrong coordinates to Unity's GUI

If I use Java.SetResolution, I get the weird windowing thing.

Please advise.

Thanks!
