Scanlines 50%

[theelf]

Hi!

There is a way to use scanlines in a 50 or custom %? any secret option?

I see a TV option, but is just too soft, looks like the scanlines are 10 or 20% only


Thanks!

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if I understand the question...

Is this in regard to the Options->Graphics Mode->TV2x scaler option in ScummVM?

If so, as far as I know, there are no configuration options for these.

Please note that we have an outstanding unmerged PR for improving/replacing these scalers with plugin versions, so options may be added in future after this is merged...

Hi, im sorry my question was not very clear, my english is not good

Yes, I was talking about TV2x option

Now, the scanlines in Scummvm are very "soft", maybe 10 to 20% black???

For example, very hard scanlines are 100% black, something like this

100% scanlines are best for emulators of arcade screens for example, that have big scanlines, but TV screen have very thin ones...





...thats why I think 50% black scanlines, are much natural, and look very similar to old CRT than 100% black or the TV2x that scummvm uses now... (not exactly, I made in Photoshop... is something like 40%)







Well, if not options now for TV2x, nothing to do!

I will wait like you say for future scalers!!

Anyways, for all developers, hope someone think is a good idea (I think yes, most emulators now have variable scanlines)

thanks

LogicDeLuxe: Apologies, but sounds like Fingolfin was having a bad day and most developers are already busy enough with bug fixes and development.

Feature Requests generally get a very low priority, especially those which are purely asthetic and we get a large number, most of which are fairly pointless.

This would be much more likely to be added if you provide a patch implementing the functionality that you would like to see i.e. as a patch on the patch tracker, or as a Github Pull Request.

The relevant code currently is in:
https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob ... r.cpp#L320

The updated code for when the scalar plugins are merged can be found here:
https://github.com/lordhoto/scummvm/blo ... ler/tv.cpp

Provide a patch for these to add scanline adjustment between say 10% and 90% as a parameter... We can then look at adding the option code for GUI and configuration file to support this...

I found your reply, very, VERY useful, thanks

I can see the code controlling the scanlines! and I think I know what to do... (hope)

I don't have Visual Studio, I never use in my life, but now I´m downloading VS Express, and I will try to do by myself

Thank you very much
