How to find X and Y positions

[soulza]

there are two ways , old way and new way

NEW WAY

Thought this will come in handy for our members

• download the app and run on your desktop
• open a screenshot from your game folder in any image/photo viewer
• bring the app to the top so it is in view on top of the image
• move your mouse pointer to any part pf the screen
• press the spoacebar and X and Y co ords are displayed

OLD WAY

Spoiler

A lot of people have asked about moving panels in game

what ever you do you will need to open up a config file to move them

use notepad++ its easier

ok  so you want to move your hitlog but cant work out the X Y values?

This is will work for any monitor size as you have taken your own screen shot the X Y values will be ok for you

 

the info panel co-ords work from the center of the screen

x=0 y=0 would put it dead center

each view has its own settings ,arcade ,sniper ,strategic for where the panel is placed on the screen(from the dead center)

 

so would look like this :-

<arcade visible=”true”>
     <location x=”-175″ y=”0″/>
     <delay>3</delay>
   </arcade>
   

   <sniper visible=”true”>
     <location x=”-175″ y=”100″/>
     <delay>3</delay>
   </sniper>
   
 
   <strategic visible=”true”>
     <location x=”200″ y=”200″/>
     <delay>3</delay>
   </strategic>

 

the code above places the three panels in slightly different places depending on the mode you are viewing

 

“the X= settings move the panels either right (plus numbers)
or left (- minus numbers) along the horizontal(across the screen) line.
The Y= settings move the panels either up(-minus numbers)
or down (plus numbers) on the vertical(top to bottom) line.”
instead of :
“the Y= settings move the panels either right (plus numbers)
or left (- minus numbers) along the horizontal(across the screen) line.
The X= settings move the panels either up(-minus numbers)
or down (plus numbers) on the vertical(top to bottom) line.” as it written in the topic)) .hope it will help)

 

however its not that straight forward as within each panel there are textfileds ,these take thier positions from how you have placed the panels above ,example here is the code for  target name.

 

<targetName visible=”true”>
   <location x=”-80″ y=”-35″/>
   <text font=”MicraC” size=”25″ color=”0xDAEBE7″ alpha=”100″ align=”center” bold=”true” leading=”0″ width=”350″ height=”60″/>
   <filter size=”3″ angle=”0″ distance=”0″ color=”0x000000″ alpha=”100″ strength=”200″/>
   <format>{{target}}</format>
 </targetName>

for arguments sake lets say we want to positon this for arcade view ,we already defined where the bottom left corner of the arcade panel is going to be above ,so now the X and Y values take thier co-ords off that.

 

lol is this getting to complicated for you yet?

what i would do is not touch the settings withing the panels as you can see above its complicated ,but concentrate on moving the panels themselves

the settings above i have moved the three panels in slightly different places on the screen but i suspect you will keep all three at the same co ords

 

your X Y values  are x=”320″ y=”478″  so you are pushing the panels 320 pixels down the page (from the center) and 478 pixels right(from the center)

 

now back to my method of using a screenshot,

i play on full res so my center marker is at X960  Y555 aprox.

if i wanted to draw the panel  below center and off to the left

 

 

i use my method and get reading of X790 Y730

 

now i subtract these numbers from the center marker

X center 960

X new 790

= new co ord for X = 270

do the same for Y

 

Y center 555

Y new 730

=new co ord for Y = -145

 

this is how you get the co ords working off 0,0 as the center marker

 

looking back at this it looks complicated but once it clicks in your head you can pinpoint any

pixel on the screen as a placment.

because you used a panel that takes co-ords off center marker it is more complicated.

hope i put this so you can understand it.
