Thread: Pip script help

  1. #1

    Default Pip script help

    Can someone help me out with a working pip script i'm running 1024x769 on my screen i'm boxing 5 toons id like wow1 to be the big screen and the other 4 to be along the right side of the screen. I've tried to do this myself but I keep messing up and its not working i'm not used to using this program i've been using keyclone. I've managed to get the switching between windows working but not the pip screens they are aways screwed up.so if anyone can help me or give me a script to add to my own it would be very much appreciated Thank You.

    The key is to have all 5 screens at the same ratio. When HKN swaps PiP, it does nothing but redraw the PiP at one size. So your Height is almost 800 so each small PiP will be 200 high. Width is 1024, Pip should be about 255. main 800x600 pip 255x200 and you might have to play if you use windowed mode (I do)

    funny resolution :)

    Well for this screen I also would recommend 800x600 as the (internal and external) resolution for the 'big window', and maybe 224x168 for the little windows, to get exactly to 1024 in a 4:3 ratio.

    A script for this could look like (straight from the sticky):
    Code:
    //-----------------------------------------------------------
    // SUBROUTINE TO Position Windows for 5 boxing.
    //-----------------------------------------------------------
    <Command ResizeAndPosition>
       <SendPC Local>
          <SendWin %1%>
                   <SetWinRect 0 0 800 600>              
          <SendWinM %2%>
                 <SetWinRect 800 0 224 168>  
            <SendWinM %3%>
                <SetWinRect 800 168 224 168>     
            <SendWinM %4%>
                <SetWinRect 800  336 224 168>     
             <SendWinM %5%>
                 <SetWinRect 800 504 224 168>
    
    //----------------------------------------------------------------
    //Window Switching
    //----------------------------------------------------------------
    <Hotkey F1>
       <ResizeAndPosition WoW1 WoW2 WoW3 WoW4 WoW5>
    <Hotkey F2>
       <ResizeAndPosition WoW2 WoW1 WoW3 WoW4 WoW5>
    <Hotkey F3>
       <ResizeAndPosition WoW3 WoW2 WoW1 WoW4 WoW5>
    <Hotkey F4>
       <ResizeAndPosition WoW4 WoW2 WoW3 WoW1 WoW5>
    <Hotkey F5>
       <ResizeAndPosition WoW5 WoW2 WoW3 WoW4 WoW1>
    ...here of course you would have to change the window Names WoW1-WoW5 to the ones you use....

    Seems to me the ideal layout does the following three things:

    1. Fills the entire screen (in other words, maximizes the sizes of the windows).

    2. Uses the same aspect ratio for all five windows (this is essential for mouse broadcasting in WoW).

    3. Doesn't distort the shapes of WoW's graphics.

    Here's the closest you can come to satisfying those three conditions on 1024 x 768:

    1. Arrange the little windows in a horizontal row instead of a vertical column. The row can be at the top or bottom of the screen.

    2. Using the WoWs' in-game video settings, choose a resolution with an aspect ratio of 16:10 like 1440 x 900 or 1680 x 1050.

    3. Using the third-party program of your choice, set the size of the big window to 1024 x 614.

    4. Using the third-party program of your choice, set the size of the little windows to 256 x 154.

    If you do it that way, the aspect ratio of each window will be 1.67. (I'm rounding slightly.) This is a distortion of only four percent.

    This is the least distortion you can have on 1024 x 768 if you fill the screen with five WoWs.

    Aw c'mon, it's high school algebra.

    (Actually I wrote a program to do this because it needs to go in HKN2.)

    Of course you can arrange the windows however you like.

    The advantage of a horizontal row is that the windows can cover the entire display with practically no distortion.

    If you arrange them vertically, either you can't use the entire display or there's a lot of distortion.

    Edit: This comment applies to a 4:3 display which is what you asked about.
