Re: [hlcoders] Font size glitches after hud_reloadscheme
You may note that my fix does not re-initialize the whole HUD though. I found that when doing so, a strange side-effect arose where user chat would display twice... so if someone did say hi it would print user: hi user: hi and if you changed res again, it would print 3 times etc. So my fix cut to the chase.

Re: [hlcoders] Font size glitches after hud_reloadscheme
Well when I reload the hud scheme/layout Im in 1024x768 - But the hud controls positions/sizes etc are provided in virtual screen coordinates already in the HudLayout.res file so it shouldnt matter if Im editing them in 640x480 or not. When I do the hud_reloadscheme command, it only seems to screw up the font size of text displayed using vgui::Labels. HUD elements that do a direct surface()-DrawText dont suffer from this problem. Looking at the replies I got, no one really seems to know what is causing this here so Ill go ahead and try to fix it then post the solution here I guess. By the way, what is the native screen resolution for VGUI editing? Im pretty sure it wasnt 640x480, but I could be wrong.

RE: [hlcoders] Font size glitches after hud_reloadscheme
It is 640x480. Everything is scaled off of a 640x480 resolution screen (being that 640x480 is the lowest resolution you can go). So it's just a matter of placing everything in a 640x480 space, and then it re-calculates for other resolutions automatically, and rescales. This is how Quake3 worked too, and I'm pretty sure doom3 and quake4 do it as well, but I haven't modded them so I have no clue. -- -- omega Heroes of Excelsior http://www.heroesofexcelsior.com Blackened Interactive http://www.blackened-interactive.com -Original Message- From: William Ravaine [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: June 26, 2006 7:17 AM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Font size glitches after hud_reloadscheme By the way, what is the native screen resolution for VGUI editing?

Have you ever tried to use a vgui::Label control to display text in one of your HUD elements, instead of manually drawing the text using surface()-DrawText?

Re: [hlcoders] Font size glitches after hud_reloadscheme
Is that a fix for the bug where re-sizing your HL2DM causes the ammo hud to be off the side of the screen?
