Font is blurry in the main scene but not in its own scene?

[dreamy edge]

need help. My veiwport is 320x180 by the way. and i am overriding the virtual tooltip function in godot using _make_custom_tooltip() but just adding it as a child does not work either

@meager pulsar

[meager pulsar]

First, disable mipmap

[dreamy edge]

My viewport is 320x180

[dreamy edge]

done

no change

[meager pulsar]

Okay, second, you mentioned that its not blurry if you add another line. How would it look if you add another line.

[dreamy edge]

you can see the third lineis no blurry

[meager pulsar]

Hmmm

[dreamy edge]

or the first, only the middle one

[meager pulsar]

So its only blurry at even line?

Does any of your Control scale is being changed at al

[dreamy edge]

nope

no scaling

BUT i changed the oversampling and the settings on my title font

[meager pulsar]

So its only going wack if you change the oversampling?

[dreamy edge]

now the small font

[dreamy edge]

if i dont*

its in 10 rn

but that should not even happen since its 16 bit font

and it works perfect everywhere else,

[meager pulsar]

Can you send your popup scene

[dreamy edge]

this is also the same font as the title, no oversampling

same size

no scaling

[meager pulsar]

Okay, then leave the oversampling as zero, because it sounds like a bandaid fix than fixing the actual issue

Whats your project settings window looks like

[dreamy edge]

anything else?

[meager pulsar]

Do you have Snap 2D Transform to Pixel enabled

[dreamy edge]

Uhh in the imports?

[meager pulsar]

Project settings, thats what the settin is called

[dreamy edge]

Where is it exactly 😅

[meager pulsar]

Just search it with that name

Its on 2d > snap

[dreamy edge]

Yes, but it's the exact same

I turned it on, no change

[meager pulsar]

So you have it disabled before?

[dreamy edge]

Yes

[meager pulsar]

Hmmm

[dreamy edge]

still the same

why is ui so tough for me.... nobody else has these issues ever...

[meager pulsar]

Cant seem to reproduce it despite having same setup

[dreamy edge]

are u running its own scen?

[meager pulsar]

Yes

[dreamy edge]

its fine in its own scene

Its PERFECT there

[meager pulsar]

So its being scaled on other scene?

[dreamy edge]

only in the main scene

[meager pulsar]

Well i dnt have the main scene

[dreamy edge]

its not supposed to. ii ont chang the size, i jut add it in there

[dreamy edge]

yeah, ok. i can tell you how to MRP the main scene

just make a ui node (ideally a panel) in another scene, gmake a new script

give it any tooltip text

func _make_custom_tooltip(for_text):
    var tooltip = preload("res://some_tooltip_scene.tscn").instantiate()
    return tooltip```

put this in the script

and run and hover on the ui node

[meager pulsar]

Okay

[dreamy edge]

ALSO make sure the tooltip scene's root node has a minimum size defined

[meager pulsar]

Ahh i see it, now i can experiment with it myself, please wait a moment

[dreamy edge]

im such a good tester for godot engine, finding the most hidden stuff 🤣

[meager pulsar]

Ahhhh

I think i might have an idea

[dreamy edge]

I'm all ears

[meager pulsar]

Basically what currently happening is that built in tooltip is using default scaling rather than your project scaling.

[dreamy edge]

Nope

Well yes

[meager pulsar]

More specifically the popuppanel

[dreamy edge]

But it's not only an issue with the tooltip,

[meager pulsar]

The popuppanel is using fractional scaling

[dreamy edge]

Yesss this must be it

It's a popup issue

[meager pulsar]

But i tried changing it and it doesnt seem to affect anything so im not sure what that setting even does.

[dreamy edge]

Cuz when I used a popup instead of margin container and added it as a child into the viewport as a mouse hover, it just shows the same, so must be a popup issue

[meager pulsar]

I think the issue is on the popuppanel itself, you can reproduce it without tooltip, just make the scene a child of PopupPanel node

You should just make a regular node tbh, no need for it to be a separate window

[dreamy edge]

Exactly what insaid above lol

[dreamy edge]

So... Regular node and just spawn it manually?

[meager pulsar]

Yeah. I dont see the benefit of making another window for this.

[dreamy edge]

I mean yeah but the popup functionality

[dreamy edge]

Is it working for you if you add it as a regular child?

[meager pulsar]

Eh im pretty sure all youre using in the popup function is showing and hiding

[meager pulsar]

Yep

[dreamy edge]

But still, this is a bug right?

[meager pulsar]

Sounds like it, you might want to report it on the godot github page, something along popupmenu not scaling properly on a pixelart project

[dreamy edge]

Yeah, I'll make a GitHub issue request

I did that already with my previous issue with popups

It's so hard to work with popups 😭

[meager pulsar]

I dont use popup, window, menupopup in general unless absolutely needed, they are wonky, i tried to make one during making a plugin and it took me like 5 hour to fixes a... guess what. positioning issue.

[dreamy edge]

Damn... Atleast it makes me feel better that someone else has issues with this wonky node 😅 thanks for the closure, I'll just use a 9 patch rect as a parent and spawn it when mouse enters

I'll also make a GitHub issue request later

[dreamy edge]

hey sorry for the ping, but if you were to make a tooltip like in my case, would you use it in a canvas layer?

and should i attach the relevant scripts to canvas layer as the toopltip?

[meager pulsar]

The entire UI would be in a canvas layer not the tooltip only, but theres a benefit on making the popup another canvaslayer: The rendering order.

[dreamy edge]

yeah, id like it to render at top so itll just be easier to make it work like that. ill just make the tooltip scenea canvas layer itself

[dreamy edge]

this works perfectly thanks
