Converting values for 1280, 720 Localcoord

#1 January 05, 2017, 12:09:22 am

Working on MUGEN characters, 24/7.

So say I'm creating a widescreen character who has a Localcoord of 1280, 720. If I wanted to take some random velocity/value from a character made for 320, 240 Localcoord, or one that wasn't build with a Localcoord at all, how much would I have to multiply the value so that it is accurate for the 1280, 720 setting?

If there's like a full explanation on all the possible multiplications from one Localcoord to the other, that would be even better. Thanks.

Loyal to the Game

1. Localcoord is garbage, don't use it. Use the scale factors and manually scale your velocities, posadds, and effect offsets. The reason I say this is because localcoord totally ignores the y coordinate.
2. dest/src

So if your native resolution is 384x224 for instance, and you wanted to go to 320x240, then you'd scale velocities on X by 320.0/384.0 (the .0 is important) or .83333333, and for y, 240.0/224.0 or 1.071428571.

you should definitely use localcoord on high res characters. i fucked up initially when i too thought it was shit and have been regretting it ever since.

also according to mugen:

const720p(1)=0.328125

so basically any normal value you get in mugen, ~~multiply it with 0.328125 and that'll give you the 720p equivalent.~~ ~~i think it was multiply by 3 or something~~, fukkit just wing it until it works

yet again, be sure to set the localcoord of a 720p character to 1280,720. dat shit'll save you alot of drama in the long run
