iOS (iPad) Screen BUGs (round corners, windowed, buffer video????)

[Hark0]

Hi!

I updated ALL software: GLB and Xcode to last version available.

I make some test for compile to iOS 5.0 on iPad 1...

All done... BUT, look right corners... ARE ROUNDED!?!?!?! 

Left screen are OK...


Any help are welcome.

TIA, H.

Hi.

The curves at your extreme corners look like mine a bit.

I've been getting this for months now - strangely enough only on iPad.. Mac and PC builds are fine.

Also strangely, my rounded corners are on the left side. I am floating in a graphic from bottom right to position 0,0 on the screen. Later in my game it goes away.

I just learnt to live with it as nothing I could do would fix it and it only occurred on iPad.

Zoomed in photos attached along with original screen grabs I just took.

The graphics are 1024x768 single layer non transparent png files with pre-rendered edges on them.

This is the code I use to float it in from bottom right to top left of screen.


// SETORIENTATION 3 // Default orientation on iOS for landscape (Button on left).
// Fade in the Title Screen smooothly from bottom right to top left.
   LIMITFPS SmoothFPS // Smooth fps rate on!
   FOR LoopX = 768 TO 0 STEP -3
      UDrawSprite (gTitleScreen,LoopX, LoopX)
      // The following code is compiled for iOS Platform only:
      ?IFDEF IPHONE
         IOSAutoOrient() // if running on iOS, check for a screen orientation change and flip as required.
      ?ENDIF
       SHOWSCREEN // Copy whats on Backbuffer to main screen.
   NEXT
   UDrawSprite (gTitleScreen,0,0)
   SHOWSCREEN // Copy whats on Backbuffer to main screen.

If I compile code above in Xcode as iPhone - it runs in a window on the iPad and the corners are fine. Change project settings to iPad however, and the corner problem occurs. Very strange.

hmmm

I no use any SETORIENTATION... only CLEARSCREEN and SETSCREEN.



I think to draw on top layer MY designed four rounded corners like you... to fix this temporally.

  You says... very strange bug.

I noticed this in Greedy Mouse as well, iOS add those corners.

I can think its eiter a missing xcode setting or can been done in inline. The most annoyring thing is those corners does not fellow ORIENTATION (which they does not). If they did, then I would not notice them at all. By now I just igonere it.

Also doing its full layer draw is very much overdraw. instead just load one cornor graphics and put them in each cornor to meantime fix it....

iOS ADD CORNERS??

ONLY 2 VERTICALLY???

Y paste a solution founded ... (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5518977/how-does-one-eliminate-the-rounded-corners-on-the-main-window-on-an-ipad-app)


(e.g. the iPod player has square corners at the top; can't tell at the bottom)

You'll need to get used to this: Apple apps will do things your apps can't do. Apple get to use private frameworks, App Store apps don't.

If you don't use the status bar (ie, completely 'full screen') you'll get a 'non rounded' screen. This is pretty simple to do - just hide the status bar from within your code (or, if you want it hidden throughout your app, you can just set it in your info.plist).


I try later!

Looks like Apple wants your graphics to look like its own - whether you like it or not... 

[mrplant]

What I can't understand is sometimes (almost as if randomly), I get the corruption shown here - its like a rounded corner a third of the way along the top.
Again, iPhone is fine - only on the iPad - and my graphics were all designed for the iPad in the first place - there are no rounded corners in my originals...

weird...

Once my  main game starts - this problem always goes away... Its very strange.. My Xcode settings are already set to hide status bar.

Maybe GLB works windowed on iPad?

Might be easier to set the "main nib file base name" in the pList file.

Tried adding "main nib file base name" and "main file base name ipad"...


I left blank fields....


Can you paste string fields for this sets???

[MrTAToad]

I think you are supposed to put in "MainWindow" for the "main nib base file name" section : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7520971/applications-are-expected-to-have-a-root-view-controller-at-the-end-of-applicati

Hello again...

I added MainWindow on main in base file name.... ROUNDED CORNERS. Only compile/run in Debug mode.

I tried for Release... Xcode compile and runs, but halt app due "MainWindow.nib" file missing.

I created a new Window file into Xcode called MainWindow.xib.

Compile/run works.... BUT

1 Obviously the new window are ON TOP of my app.
2 Maintain ROUNDED corners...

 


mmmm I need to use SETSCREEN 1024,768,1 <- Fullscreen?


Im really confused... Im just launch my iPad, the computer and all for the window of my house. (I live on 4 floor) 


EDIT:

Tried SETSCREEN 1024,768,1

FAIL 

EDIT2:

I created a NEW GLB project, just setscreen, drawling across window and text hello world...

The app works horizontally (1024x768).
I ONLY set in info.plist this Field:

Initial Interface Orientation -> Landscape (left home button)

and now the 2 rounded corners are at bottom screen...

Im continue investigating with adding isetorientation...

 


EDIT3:

Definitelly I think GLB runs on window mode.... I make new Xcode GL and works fine...


I goto to cinema.... Im exaust for now....
