Doom3world

Lets say we're putting an image of size 640x480 on a HUD, with a screen resolution of something huge like 2048x1536. I assume the image would scale to that width just as one would if it were on a wall instead of the HUD. If thats true, then the image would look pixelated (like crap) after being scaled.

do images on the HUD scale to screen res?

Yes, the image would scale. It's like you'd expect from a texture image; it would interpolate up. I guess you can say it "looks like crap" depending on the point of view. Usually it wouldn't get *pixelated*, but interpolated.. that is, look a bit blurred.

If you want it to be sharper, use images of higher resolutions, like 1024x1024 or up.

Thanks for these tutorials zeh (if you're still around). I'm working my way through them. I have a problem when I run testgui.

The text is jumbled. I'm running the latest updated Doom 3 on Linux. I'm using the .pk4 files off the original CDs a bought in, I think, 2004. That image is when running windowed @ 800x600. I get the same results when running fullscreen @ 1900x600.

Oh, another problem I have is when using the font key.

font "fonts/english"

I've played the game through on maximum settings and had no problems at all. I should probably reboot to windows and see if it renders the same.

Post a question then immediately realize what the *problem* is. All three text string are being rendered at the same time at this point.

But my font question still stands.
