Shield Math Question

Would anyone happen to know a formula for working which part of a shield image would go where on the character?
I am asking because I am going to make a shield viewer just for fun but I am not sure on how to determine which parts are what?

iirc it went by a ratio D:

I think that any shield size will technically work, and when you set a shield image for the player, the game automatically totals pixels horizontally and divides them into 4 sections, proportional to how the regular small shields are..and then automatically centers them on the player.

sounds legit?

Thanks!
Just in case it helps anyone here is some data I have acquired.

Overall Dimensions: 38x20

Up: 6x20
Up: 15.789473684210526 %

Left: 8x20
Left: 21.052631578947366 %

Down: 17x20
Down: 44.73684210526316 %

Right 8x20
Right: 21.052631578947366 %

Now I just need to work out a formula to figure out how many pixels any given shield part would be xD
I am not good at mathematics but I shall give it a crack ;)

Well I failed miserably..
Hers was my attempt.

PHP Code:


		
			
function WorkOutParts(max){
  temp.up = max/6.714;
  temp.left = max/5.035;
  temp.down = max/2.37;
  temp.right = max/5.035;
  echo("UP: "@int(up));
  echo("LEFT: "@int(left));
  echo("DOWN: "@int(down));
  echo("RIGHT: "@int(right));
}

Any math guru's on here that would be able to work this puzzle out?

Did you even read what crono posted? It's the solution in black and white.

I know how it works but I am trying to figure out a formula.

All you do is maintain the same pixel ratio.

Ratio: 1

Width: 38 * ratio
Height: 20 * ratio

Up: 6 * ratio
Left: 8 * ratio
Down: 17 * ratio
Right: 8 * ratio

Heights for each shield: 20 * ratio

There's no complicated formula, for simplicity sake avoid ratios that result in decimal points.

For an in-game shield viewer you can simply use a gani.

This is regarding an external viewer in VB.
I'm making it so iClassic players can see their shields on a character before uploading them.
Thanks for that though, I guess i'm half asleep lol

Ok, now say that is for a 38x20px shield.
Say the user selects a 147x40px shield.
How would it work? would the ratio be like pixelwidth/38?

If a user selects a 147x40 shield, the width to height ratio is out and the creater of said shield should be shot.

Also yes, the ratio would be given from pixelwidth/38.
