Hello there,
I was wondering how is it done so if you have an Universal App (iPhone and iPad), to have different set of image buttons for the joystick and button 1 and 2. My game is for iPad, but surprisingly it runs great on my iPhone 4S, but the joystick images are huge because it was for the iPad.
Thanks in advance
Renato
Also wondered about this and reported long time ago. Now I installed the Manos game which is universal, too - and there the images work. So, what are we doing wrong?
Perhaps DistantJ can enlighten us. This is a major issue if it can't be done directly in MMF2 to switch or resize the buttons...I can't believe CT hasn't looked into it already.
I didn't use the built in joystick stuff, I made my own using active objects and multiple touch, then I used the iOS object to detect the device model name and stored it in a global string, if that string reads "iPad", my objects shrink and re-position for iPad. :-)

That's what I thought...I will send a message to CT, because I can't believe I am going to have to launch two apps, one for iPad and another for the iPhone simply because of this problem...and I can't go back and re code a 4 year old project to do what DistantJ did.
That's what I like when using MMF. Things seem so easy, but then there are these flaws which require so much time to workaround. Cool solution, DistantJ, but I hope the joystick will work fine someday. I want to use my games on various runtimes without having to code such basic controls for each runtime.
They used to work fine before, as in they used to shrink down for iPhone and grow bigger for iPad. So just report it in the beta testing area and they should fix the issue in no time :)
I reported this months ago, including a demo. Not sure if it's hard to fix or my message got lost. Gotta retry.
I also report this long time ago and never has been resolved, I hope to do so soon. Here I have a post with images where shown the bug:

Yes...I remember this a while ago, but CT simply ignored it...I honestly do not think this would be so hard to implement, and what sucks is that my game is up for being deleted from the Apple Store at the end of this month, if CT doesn't do anything about this shortly I am going to have to post pone the release of the game yet again.
