I've noticed that while using this technique; when the scale is something other than one, passing a layer depth of anything besides zero to the Draw method prevents the texture from being drawn. Would anyone know how to advance on this independent resolution technique by honoring layer depths?

Thank you for this awesome video!

thank you soooo much

just change it to a console app and both will show

Thank you! Finishing off my scene managemant and wondered why I was losing everything when going to a new location in the game... needed a scene specific content manager!

Thank you for this video!!

this causing negative value on both width and height which making the rendertexture being flipped

(Found this video on reddit). God bless you brother, this was something I've implemented using a different tutorial but never understood what I was doing. Now I fully understand every line of code and it doesn't feel like a black box. Thank you!

Yes Thanks

great video! Is this method more performant than RenderTarget2D?

Oh, so that's why. Thank you!

Great video! We need more of this!

Great episode. Thank you.

This was absolutely clear. Great tutorial. Thank you very much. All the best from Germany.

This is quite handy. Thanks!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! Great help

Thank you for the video, will help me very much getting a good start trying to work using LM22 for MG dev 😊

perfect tutorial!

Hey thank you for explaining everything it was very helpful.

My terminal isn't working like that, it only gives me errors if I include any spaces, can anyone help?

First of all, I love your videos, I used you method of Scaling using matrix and changing the transformMatrix on the SpriteBatch Begin, I like it a lot, it do its work on a very simple way, at first look that way, then I try to implement nkast Aether.Physics2D physics engine and when trying to draw the debug shapes using its Diagnostic tool, pass the matrix to the debugRenderer but shapes were weirdly render (ovals instead of circles etc...) and they lost position if I move my custom camera (that was working fine to move the character), I was trying to find a solution for 2 days and it was difficult but find a way to render the debug lines fine, finally I end up creating an independent orthographic projection and then calculate aspect ratio for both width and height, sum those by 1 before creating the orthographic matrix and then I created a Scale Matrix and use a magic number, I don't like it but it worked fine 2 magic numbers for that matter, now the debug shapes render fine, here is that code Vector2 aspect = new Vector2((float)game.viewport._virtualWidth / (float)game.viewport._virtualHeight, (float)game.viewport._virtualHeight / (float)game.viewport._virtualWidth); Matrix _viewMatrix = Matrix.CreateOrthographic(aspect.X+1f, aspect.Y+1f, 0f, 30f); Matrix translation = Matrix.CreateTranslation(-player._playerBody.Position.X, 0, 0); Matrix Zoom = Matrix.CreateScale(1.34f * camera.getZoom()); _debugView.RenderDebugData(_viewMatrix * Zoom, translation); I added my camera zoom on the scale so it considers the camera zoom, all working fine, do you know another way to do it?, do you think it was a good way to solve it? can you do it with out creating a new matrix and 2 magic numbers?

Thanks for making this. I've been diving into MonoGame after using XNA a ton about 10 years ago, and there's a dearth of good video tutorials that are up to date and not just about how XNA used to be.

Thanks a lot for all these videos, they are really helpful. The thing I cannot figure out at the moment about this tutorial is how to load content from any other class that is not Game1. Im working on a sort of engine, and I already have a class that is supposed to handle the loading of level data. But I cannot read the Content class inside Game1 from any other place. I was wondering how an example of that would work. Thanks again

I did this and it resize perfect, the only issue is the mouse input goes offset. Any idea on how to solve it? (Im new with MonoGame)

Hi, thanks for sharing your knowledge in such an understandable and detailed way! I came back to XNA/MonoGame after many years. Back then, the Content Pipeline actually was some kind of occult knowledge that books and forums weren't able to properly teach about this topic. The video title actually does what its title says. Especially the red border that you drew in your diagram helped a lot! Thanks again! This content is very appreciated!

Very nice video! I had to do something differently though otherwise it was not building the content folder correctly <ItemGroup> <None Include=".\Content\**" CopyToOutputDirectory="PreserveNewest" /> </ItemGroup>

I am used to full version of Visual Stupid, does VS Code have nuget?

I'm having a problem, when I do everything the button rectangles in my game change to a higher place than where the button texture is, any ideas what it could be and how to fix it? I am new to developing video games and also using MonoGame

Thanks so much. I was trying to understand it myself but I was having a hard time to really nail it. This videos was a great help to verify my understanding of it, and to clarify parts I just didnt get at all.

Excellent content! I learned a lot.. Thanks! =D

Thank you!

I'm struggling to understand how adding the resizing boolean is keeping CalculateRenderDestination from being called repeatedly if its being set from true to false within the same block. Could you please explain this?

Great work, thank you very much!

Thank you so much, mate!

0:40 That cat is looking directly into my soul.

Just want to say the quality of this content is outstanding. Thank you for donating your time to share this information!

Good communication, you definitely "got me" with the scale default value of zero.

Is there any point trying to run the monogame content builder on a mac M1? Trying to get some doc or tutorial of some kind and its kind of dead! Besides the fact that mgcb is not ready for M1 with .NET8

Yo this is nice, I just recently used tiledcs + made some of my own logic for maps :)

Nice and thanks!!

This is perfect! thank you sir

Awesome video man!! Informative and clear! Keep it going. I myself want to start doing videos as well on my projects. 😄

Came here from the Monogame Discord. Great stuff.

Great video Aris! Quick question, is this how you basically implement zooming in and out? just making the matrix bigger or smaller or there's something else involved?

Thanks so much for this video. I’ve been fighting this problem for months. I’m a bit confused though. I was under the impression that you need to multiply pixel art by integer multiples when scaling up, otherwise the pixels won’t actually be square when scaled up. Does this somehow account for that? Or is the result different depending on if you have sized the window to an exact integer multiple of your target resolution vs scaling up by a fraction?
