Can you add the option to use a bigger font? #47

Can you add the option to use a bigger font? I want to make a store with my friends on my server but the max font size is super small, even when I manually update the number past the slider it does not change it.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. The font is explicitly clamped at 100 max right now to prevent abuse. https://github.com/Cherry/3D2D-Textscreens/blob/3069092ea20c6fa4f257d1794eaed81dee53e6f6/lua/entities/sammyservers_textscreen/init.lua#L68

I'm not really sure I want to increase this limit. Can you show me a use-case where the font is too small?

collinator24 commented 5 years ago

Is there any way to override that? like from a server standpoint, not client

Not currently, no. From testing, 100 is a good medium between being invasive and being too small. I'd be happy to consider increasing the limit if you can provide a good use-case. 😃 Do you have some screenshots of where you'd want to see the text bigger?

I think 100 is the limit in general for all fonts. I still get these e-mail notifications from an account, I already deleted. So I am here again.

If people want to start a store, the increased font would allow people to read it, because in one map, my friend wanted to make a store in a hangar, but the text was so small you couldn't read it, also it can be used to label your base and stuff. If you can't it's totally fine, it was just a thought :)

On this map near the hangar is where i am refrencing. I don't have my pc atm but the big hangar is difficult to label on this map if you are making a shop of sorts https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=115510325

Could you please not comment twice. If you want something specifically for you, do it yourself.

As far as I know, it is not even possible going over 100 in a font, so the only way is to make the cam.3d2d bigger which should look even more ugly than it looks now.

collinator24 commented 5 years ago

I don't have my pc atm and im using my phone in gmail to reply. I just wanted to add more info because he asked for a screenshot. I would do it by myself but like I stated, im away for some time and my friend just wants a bigger one so yeah. If he doesn't want to do it thats fine, i was just asking a question.

@mcNuggets1 No need to be aggressive. @collinator24 was just asking a very reasonable question. 😃 I'm going to lock this now - I have all the information I need and will get back to you if this is something I want to change in the future.

Thanks again for the suggestion!

Just make a config variable and default it to 100. Easy.
