Road Hog Mad Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 I was just wondering if we have a BIG Size Layout Section, now i've built my home build some of the layouts that were ok in landscape mode are rather crud in portrait mode (see attachments) Or is there some tweaking I can do to my screen, I dunno.

No1Stoney Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Machines such as that popeye one, goto design mode and crop out the side art. Do this with any layouts you want, just simply crop out anything that isn't the actual machine from all sides. then save. machine will stretch to fill the screen now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reg Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 @No1Stoney lol no! At least it shows that you can adjust - I do not have access to my cabinet at the moment so easier ( or so I thought ) to try to demo on the PC ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Hog Mad Posted August 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) @Reg @No1Stoney Hmm that seems to have worked, Design, Window Size, Max Monitor Res. But the layout has gone to the top of the screen. Edited August 21, 2021 by Road Hog Mad Retarded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No1Stoney Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Now crop the bottom fit that "max monitor res" has created. To get to the bottom bit, change window size to something small, then pull out each edge until correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Hog Mad Posted August 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Yeah was having a tinker before, will have a look tomorrow, the 1600dx ones are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Hog Mad Posted August 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 So... got the majority of them how I want them, a lot I can live with. Note to future layout creators, make them 1600 @Tommy cLayouts fit perfectly on my machine. The ones I have struggled with are the M1A madness ones, can't seem to get them right. Did anyone else make there own version of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone else make there own version of these? Can you please tell me exactly what you mean by 1600? Probably a stupid question to you but I’m new at this and getting confused. So for example I have a layout I’m making now, in Photoshop what size canvas, what size image? And I’d that in pixels or mm,cm etc then I will save the file as a jpg before using it as the background in mfme. I just need telling one please. Hope that makes sense!! @Tommy c layouts work fine so can I get those details please.. simple enough for a 8 year old to do it thanks living the dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vectra666 Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 1600 x 1200 is the height / width in pixels i make the majority this size as the real machine is basically 2/3 higher than the width (excluding the cash box/door and gives a real looking layout size wise. although machines vary in size especially the mpu4 cloud 999 type's 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fairly easy to do and it should smooth off your hard edged lamps J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s completely changed my feelings towards fml work as was losing the fire inside, the main thing is ( if anyone didn’t know) use BMP not JPEG files for your artwork!! It’s ridiculous the difference in pixel quality!! I’m happy as I’m sure vecs is too, to share the little guide to anyone else who’s in the process of learning how it’s done.. thanks for your help guys!! You all have been really helpful and continue to be so 1 living the dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene02 Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 Didn’t know mfme accepted jpg. Jpg is highly compressed file format, sure bmp and png are lossless formats. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
