screen.drawTextBox() horizontal alignment parameter does not reflect in-game result

[linmar22]

What I expected to happen
Using screen.drawTextBox() in the VSC plugin produces results as they would be in-game.

What happened instead
When aligned right, the horizontal alignment parameter places the text in reference to it's left side, and not the right.

How do I reproduce this?
Reliable steps that should produce this issue:

1. screen.drawText(0, 0, screen.GetWidth(), 10, "my text", 1, 0) in the plugin and in the game
2. Observe differences.

Thanks for raising this, I'm afraid I'm extremely time limited these days.
Could you provide screenshots of the difference - as I don't have the game installed anymore.
Also, it may be worth looking at forking + fixing this yourself, then bringing it back in via pull-request - if this is important for the work you're doing.

Many Thanks

Sure here it is...

In-game vs In-Sim

Notice how the bottom-right text value is aligned based on the first character of the string in the sim, but on the last character in the game.

I think in-game the position is actually calculated based on the width of the rendered string, since if you horizontally center the text, it can sit between the screen pixel-grid locations.

The bug isn't a big deal for me personally, just stood out a bit when I encountered it.

Perfect, thanks!

Can't make any promises about me fixing it - but if not me, hopefully somebody else will.
Many thanks :)
