Inconsistent scaling of screen elements #197

Closed owner-w closed 4 months ago

owner-w commented 1 year ago

Screen messages are scaled inconsistently with the rest of the hud. They appear much smaller than they should be, if you compare them to the original game. They also seem positioned more to the top left of the screen, when they should have larger margins.

Regular EX does not have this issue:

This is designed so that the always on hud stats can fit next to them. I reduced the screen text by about 30% for this

Sorry, I deleted the last comment by accident, I meant to reply saying that the text scaling can be made conditional: #199

Oh I saw the PR. I initially thought it would be very jarring for users who like to change settings as the text would be small then huge. But I guess it could work.

Ooops @azamorapl - looks like the PR broke the game :D 'episode' is no longer recognised and causes a startup failure

Strange, I can't reproduce it, it works fine on my end. I tried a clean build of stable and the PR branch. I'll investigate more...

I only tried it on Linux, maybe it works fine on windows because the commit before yours works ok
