For a Test, please send me your Screen Resolutions for BG Screen and Topper Screen ...
You get a "Fish Tales" for 4 Screens, in some Hours ...


My backglass is 1360 x 768

My topper is 1920 x 1080 .....but it is partially sunk behind the topbox for a widescreen effect of 1920 x 760.

We have started talk of making a "standard" for the topper, as when I created mine I just plonked it where I thought it looked good. But now that others are on board with their own installs and we have other people creating topper images & videos, a standard is really a must.

At this stage I personally think 21:9 makes sense, as it is a standard screen size and kinda close to what we have all done so far. So mods to existing setups shouldn't be too hard. (Out of interest, 21:9 works out to be 1920 x 823)

Thanks for this STAT. I'm super keen to see if this can be made to work ;)


So just heres the right Topic for that ... ;)

I think I'm the wrong guy to ask for this lol.  The only example of another window being imposed on top of anything would be that old vp9 banzai run but that was a window on the PF, not the BG.

You can use screenres.txt to stretch backglass across two screens but there would be a lot of limitations.

For real topper support, I think someone would need to enhance B2S server and designer to officially support it

I would imagine that the topper screen would need to be positioned above the BG screen in the windows screen layout, so that it bleeds. Plus the screens would need to be of equal resolution.  Also, it would be best for there to be no gap between topper and BG in the B2S?

 

The real topper support that you mention would be ideal.
