HELP! The splash screen is zoomed in when i open my mod. Created 3 months ago2024-08-08 15:43:54 UTC by AboutTripod48

I recently started using hammer in order to create my first Half-Life mod and i ended up following this tutorial on how to create my own menu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqD61tm3Scc. For some reason the splash screen that i select is always zoomed in, despite it being the correct size and format. The strangest thing is that it appears with the correct size in the preview window that pops up before you click the "Make Splash" button in the "Steam Splash Creator" tool.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

What do you mean by zoomed in? Can you show a screenshot? Also, did the process complete correctly? Do you have the appropriate files generated and all that?

as of the 25th anniversary update the standard menu backgrounds are cropped to fit into the widescreen aspect ratios, not sure how you'd go about fixing that though :/

In HL25 you can open resource/BackgroundLayout.txt (or resource/HD_BackgroundLayout.txt if your liblist.gam have hd_background 1 line) and replace all words fit by scaled and instead of cropping it will be stretched.

If that's what you mean by "zoomed" of course.
