Centering impossible

[Grimholm]

Hi,

I've created a news letterbox with the dimensons 421x85, which only contains two quickslotbars and the experiencebar. The letterbox is supposed to be placed centered at the bottom but I can't get it working as it should. I've attached the current result and here's my xml-code:

<PanelFile ID="toolbar">
	<Element ID="ToolbarField" Width="421" Detach="0">
		<Element ID="ToolbarFieldMain" Width="421"></Element>
			<Element ID="LevelMeter" Width="409">
				<Element ID="LevelMeterFill" Width="409">
				<Element ID="LevelMeter_BonusMeter" Width="409"></Element>
			</Element>
			<Element ID="ToolbarButton_LevelUpXP_TutorialHighlight" Width="409"></Element>
			<Element ID="ToolbarButton_Experience_TutorialHighlight" Width="409"></Element>
			<Element ID="LevelMeterText" Width="409"></Element>
		</Element>
	</Element>
</PanelFile>

Thanks for your help

As far as I know you have to define both X and Y coordinates to get it positioned (but I may be wring).

To get the centering you must however calculate the X position:
X = (screen width / 2 ) - (toolbar width / 2)


You can always check out my tool i've written for this purposes.

I've already tried your tool and I've found out the coordinates, but I hope, that I don't need coordinates since I wont change standardposition of the letterbox. Well, I guess that the threadtitle is wrong. The real problem is not the position but the size: The width should be 421 pixels, but the game ignores my definitions for the width of the letterbox ;(

Ok.

Unfortionately I believe that all four values has to be set before the game actually take them into account.

The bar has to have both width and height as well as X and Y coordinates. Atleast that's my experience.

And that's why I created the tool in the first place

And I might add that allowing us to set only one of these values (as you did) or define a custom "alignment" for the toolbar is in a suggestion made in the "Turbine Wish List" forum.

Well, I've red the tutorial in this forum and I thought, that I don't have to set values, which I don't want to change. I'll try all four values now.
