Hello, I hope this is the right place to report an issue I ran into with voxatron.
I was trying to get it to play in a reasonably sized window, as opposed to full screen. However, the only resolutions listed were:
1680x1050 (native), 840x525 (huh?), 800x600 and 800x480. So I have either to play in full screen or a tiny window. Something in between, such as 1280x1024 window would be nice.

System specs:
x86-64 (Intel Core i7 Sandy Bridge @ 3.3GHz)
Arch Linux x86-64 (rolling release, so no version number)
AMD Radeon HD 6850 (using AMD's binary driver: catalyst-11.8)

PS. The 840x525 one displayed graphical corruption in the form of "random" mostly horizontal black lines all over the picture...

Regards,

Arvid Norlander

Did you try to set the resolution manually? Theres a config.txt in the install directory.

Ah thanks, will take a look there.

Actually, where-ever config.txt is, it is not in the install directory for the tarball on linux:

$ ls
libSDL-1.2.so.0 license.txt vox vox-run vox.dat vox.txt

strace however revealed it was at ~/.lexaloffle/Voxatron/config.txt

Editing there seems to work.

Do you want me to upload a screenshot? It is almost like the black lines were in the "models" themselves, rather than in the screen. Could be an AMD/ATI bug, wouldn't be the first one.

I guess I could try to test this on my laptop with Intel graphics, but due to the different screen dimensions that won't give the same resolution then. (Also, I can't easily connect my desktop monitor there, my laptop has DisplayPort, my desktop monitor is DVI, and I don't own any working VGA cable.)

Anyway, here is a screenshot of the issue with that resolution: https://imgur.com/cYF77

The laptop displays the issue as well. Which, according to lspci has "Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller". It's CPU is a Core 2 Duo. OS on the laptop is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (x86-64).

Yes that made quite a difference. That size is quite nice for my laptop display actually (15" 1280x800).

I don't know if you are a dev, the forum doesn't really seem to tell me, I guess you are however. A trivial fix would be to to just and out the last bit to round it down for that option. Fixing it properly might be nicer. And it is of course always a nice extra when a game supports a resize handle like most "normal" applications do.
