[patch] Display Scaling, Window Resizing, High DPI support
Posted: 27 Jan 2018, 03:58

For those who are interested, a patch / PR is now available that adds support for:
- Display Scaling (100%+)
- Live Window Resizing (without restarting Warzone)
- Automatic High-DPI display support (on macOS)
See here for more details:
https://github.com/Warzone2100/warzone2100/pull/113
If you have a high-DPI display and are tired of Warzone's interface appearing tiny, Display Scaling is for you. (Available in the Video options menu.)
You can also now resize the Warzone window by dragging the edges / corners (as supported by your OS) or by changing the setting in the Video options menu (without restarting Warzone). (A small caveat: live resizing isn't currently possible while in a multiplayer game, nor when changing video mode - i.e. windowed <-> fullscreen. More details in the Github PR.)
Comments, feedback, etc. greatly appreciated.
Areas of focus for testing:
- Can you find any remaining UI elements that don't properly recalculate their layout when the window is resized?
- Any glitches when enabling Display Scaling?
- Benchmarking 100% Display Scale vs the prior `master` build on your system (particularly: FPS / CPU usage / performance improvement comparisons).

I have some FPS boost, and on the fly resized game main window, WOW!
Latest master:
After you patch:
Tested at Arch Linux
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon R7 M260DX
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.5.13416 Core Profile Context 15.302
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.40
Tomorrow I'll play around with DPI on a 4k screen.

Excellent!

Because of current SDL limitations,
automatic high-DPI support is only available on macOS at the moment.
However, you should be able to manually use the "Display Scale" option in the Video options menu to achieve the same thing. Let me know how it works for you.

I love this path!
Plying on Debian 8 on Nvidia 680 GTX
This is fix "strange camera" in UHD, i post about it before very long ago. Don't know what to call it, this is similar to the effect of "fish eye" and your patch fixes it.
(This forum refuses to take pictures)

We finally got buildbot to produce Windows executables for this patch:
http://buildbot.wz2100.net/files/warzon ... 3a0a40.exe
Please see if it works!

I see this master server bug before.
I think this is master server problem, not a patch.
Also those games still listed on master server, i see on my monitor

Guys think you need to check the changes you made to build bot because master wont load for me.
Just updated to the latest version
warzone2100-master-20180211-143024-e02cc41.exe (11-Feb-2018 13:58)
and when I try to start it I'm getting the following error
The problem is that is a Vista DLL apparently and I'm running XP, so the question is why is master looking for a Vista dependency ?
The last 2 builds have also exhibited this problem the last build that i have that works for me is warzone2100-master-20180204-051309-ab17b9b.exe
so can someone check this out please.

Also in debian 8 i try to ./configure and it is pass, but i have only SDL 2.0.2 instead 2.0.4
Somewhere need set dependency to 2.0.4, because make ends with errors
Code: Select all
main_sdl.cpp: In function ‘bool wzChangeWindowResolution(int, unsigned int, unsigned int)’:
main_sdl.cpp:1518:49: error: ‘SDL_GetDisplayUsableBounds’ was not declared in this scope

^

When i install SDL 2.0.4 it's all fine, but problem that in configure stage is passed.

This was due a temporary workaround for the buildbot (
ef82d4815beb0007c9b12a25b216d5ae3989fcb6) that was pushed to the master branch. Research is underway for a proper long-term fix that works with the cross-compiling buildbot
and properly enforces the minimum SDL version requirement.

So, is the dependency actually SDL 2.0.4 rather than SDL 2.0.5? I have been confused about that for a while.

According to the SDL docs (and when I briefly tried with SDL 2.0.4 by accident), the requirement for the new SDL APIs is SDL 2.0.5.
