That would be due to the hints. What they do internally is essentially double the size of the render and scale it down. On HiDPI/Retina screens they show correctly. On "normal" screens they are twice the size. Or that is my theory on it anyways. |
|
Instead of rending to a Graphics context, why not render to a Swing object that can be inserted somewhere on the screen? |

Originally I did that with a layeredpane but I was getting very bad aliasing and ugly stroke. This was the most visually pleasing approach. |

Pull Request Overview
This PR adds a "Tip Of The Day" feature with internationalization support, including methods to retrieve today's tip and a random tip, along with rendering logic for word-wrapped tip text. In addition, UI scaling helpers in UIUtil.java have been updated to improve resolution and DPI scaling.

Has to be a better way to do this to get the number of tips.

I don't see many other options:
a) or we store, in the file, also the number of tips in a dedicated key=value pair (making the i18n file store also numeric constants, that has to be kept updated while adding/removing tips)
b) or we ditch the key=value file format, and we use a dedicated file for specifically only the tips, one per line, and we use the lines count to know how many tips we have

If you get the ResourceBundle you're using, you would be able to get the list of its keys. From there you could filter it to keys that contain TipOfTheDay.tip (maybe change it to be longer/more specific so there's no false positives?). This would also give the list of tips, and wouldn't require them to be numbered sequentially. Something like:
ResourceBundle bundle = I18n.getInstance().getResourceBundle(bundleName);
Enumeration<String> keys = bundle.getKeys();
?

I was thinking making a resource file JUST for the tips for easier translation and just get the keys that way.
The ResourceBundle will handle I18N for us anyways and I plan to update the I18N class itself to be more dynamic in nature with ability to have defaults for the class as well as add in additional bundles as needed. A way to keep the resource files smaller and easier to manage for translations.

Ok then, let's do a dedicated file without Key=Value pairs structure

I love it!
In the future, I'd love to see an enhancement that lets values within the tip be dynamically replaced - like tip.7=You can press "{HOTKEY:VIEW_TOGGLE_ISOMETRIC}" to switch between top view and isometric view. and then TipOfTheDayJava would replace that with the actual hotkey before returning it to the player. That's for another day though,
I think this is a wonderful foundation for this feature and I'm excited to see this eventually get added to MegaMekLab and MekHQ as well.
The PR for MML is already up! |
