Post subject: | how to reduce chat font size? |
Usually it's the headphones that I have problems with cable, but this time it was the monitor. Attachment: SAM_1459l.JPG So I bought a new big LED LCD monitor that's very bright even with brightness set to lowest. But that's kewl since I can place i far away from my head. Attachment: SAM_1460l.JPG Anyway, is there a way to reduce chat font size? I can't see where I'm shooting like this. |

See what I found out here a while ago: post26141.html#p26141 But if now the fonts are larger, it means the pixel density of your previous monitor was higher. WTF?! . |

My previous monitor was a bit smaller and had higher vertical resolution. It was a CRT after all, in theory CRTs could have arbitrary resolution up to phosphor atom's size per pixel. Also, I just re-discovered my old friend a few minutes ago: black sunglasses. They sure help reduce eye strain when viewing white web pages on an LCD. P.S.: I almost forgot: I am afraid of losing colors in b3's messages. Also, having hit-messages mixed with chat it |

At least for monochrome CRTs, that's true. And for Trinitron (i.e. aperture grille) based CRTs, it holds true for vertical resolution. { End of nitpicking ;-) } natirips wrote: Also, I just re-discovered my old friend a few minutes ago: black sunglasses.

Did you try ddccontrol? natirips wrote: P.S.: I almost forgot: I am afraid of losing colors in b3's messages. Also, having hit-messages mixed with chat it Yep. That's why I refrained from using that, too. |

I made two very nice screenshots today (everyone if welcome to enlarge them to get the idea of just how big the text is). I mean, it's difficult to read text this large. And I really can't see where I'm walking, much less shooting. Right now I'm thinking about playing in a 640x480 window. |

Higher resolution -> smaller text. Also google bit. I know about cg_ChatHeight which sets how many rows you can see. Maybe there is something regarding dunno position (yes you cant change chat font i think ) |

what is your video mode set in game (setup->system->graphic)? Is setting it to native mode for that monitor (custom and then type resolution) of any help? |

It's custom resolution almost as large as my screen (I play in a window). It used to be seta r_customheight "700" seta r_customwidth "900", and now it's seta r_customheight "1000" seta r_customwidth "1800" eXtr33m wrote: Higher resolution -> smaller text.
