Question - Code Issue with Views

[spacerobot]

Ok I ported my project over and mostly everything is running. I have a map screen that when I press the map key it creates a map object and pauses the game. The map screen draws borders around each side of the view. It appears to be drawing everything, but not in the view. It's all off centered and sometimes I can't see the map border or player position.

What exactly is going on with this code? What are the underscores for like _view_get and e_VW?

draw_sprite_ext(sSubBottom,0,__view_get( e__VW.XView, 0 ),__view_get( e__VW.YView, 0 )-OffY+__view_get( e__VW.HView, 0 )-32,1,1,0,image_blend,TabAlpha);
draw_sprite_ext(sSubTop,0,__view_get( e__VW.XView, 0 ),__view_get( e__VW.YView, 0 )+OffY,1,1,0,image_blend,TabAlpha);
draw_sprite_ext(sSubLeft,0,__view_get( e__VW.XView, 0 )+OffY,__view_get( e__VW.YView, 0 ),1,1,0,image_blend,TabAlpha);
draw_sprite_ext(sSubRight,0,__view_get( e__VW.XView, 0 )-OffY+__view_get( e__VW.WView, 0 )-32,__view_get( e__VW.YView, 0 ),1,1,0,image_blend,TabAlpha);

Here is the original for reference. Any ideas on why this isn't drawing to the view and staying locked there?

draw_sprite_ext(sSubBottom,0,view_xview,view_yview-OffY+view_hview-32,1,1,0,image_blend,TabAlpha);
draw_sprite_ext(sSubTop,0,view_xview,view_yview+OffY,1,1,0,image_blend,TabAlpha);
draw_sprite_ext(sSubLeft,0,view_xview+OffY,view_yview,1,1,0,image_blend,TabAlpha);
draw_sprite_ext(sSubRight,0,view_xview-OffY+view_wview-32,view_yview,1,1,0,image_blend,TabAlpha);

Look in the compatibility scripts that are created when you import a 1.4 project. The __view functions use them to replicate 1.4 styles. The full compatibility report that shows everything changed on import is in the Notes section of the resource tree too. If you can pinpoint the issue, file a bug as the compatibility stuff should "just work", but there will always be edge cases that will need looking at.

Ok thanks Nocturne.
