dude i wanna kiss your hands

thats due to gmod not allowing people to run clientside mods that the server doesnt have installed. I think there is a setting though the server owner can enable to fix that though. probably somewhere in spawnmenu->utilities

Thanks so much! Also it doesn't work when joining friends who don't have it installed.

where has this mod been all my life? THANK YOU!! my eyesight is not that great so its always been hard to see the text on the spawnmenu <3 1000% thumbsupping and favouriting this mod!

you can put whatever looks best, there isn't really any standard value.

Do you know what I would put next to the Tall values for 4k? In SourceScheme.res that is

I love you

Thank you for this mod, it helped me a lot. Take award

dudde just saved my eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love u

is there a way to just change the icon scale? like for the spawn menu, for me both the text and icons are really small but when I bring the text scale up to a fitting size it makes the icons huge

我喜欢你🥰

thx

I HAVE NEEDED THIS FOR YEARS.
YOU ARE A G.O.A.T. FOR MAKING THIS.

I just pushed a new update that should help alot with performance. If you have any bugs, please report!

im sorry that happens, can you confirm it's this that causes the fps drops? this shouldn't happen.

eats half of my fucking fps

LESGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Must have for every 4k gamer!! Thanks, son! Garry won't fix it, so it's up to modders again.

This Mod will soon became a must-have for every player. I've been waiting for such Mod over years!
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU SAVED MY EYES ! ! !

@Gamer idk, might be an html if you look for it. could also be internal.

I FUCKING LOVE YOU

Just curious, how do I scale the "Loading..." message when you boot the game? I know it's not really important, but I would just like to scale it if it's possible.

select them all then right click then resize

is there a way for me to just scale up the prop spawn icons

Fingers crossed someone finds a fix for the console text input, but I can live with it haha

Amazing mod, just trying to get back into gmod after close to 10 yrs and forgot how small the text was (that or my eyes are getting old lol)

Surprised this hasn't been fixed sooner

I have really small screen and sometimes searching for toolgun stuff is a bit eye tiring especially when I don't remember where exactly was the thing im looking this already by just increasing value to 1.2 makes huge difference without breaking the UI thank you man

I'm unironically going to need this mod in roughly 5-10 years.

Remember folks, your eyes are important, so take care of them!

based crt

it does work with 4:3!! just has weird text cutting but its fine
i asked because my flat panel monitor died and im currently using my crt monitor i had a secondary display.. alot of stuff doesnt support 4:3 nowadays unsurprisingly

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THANK YOU!!!

it can scale to however big or small as you want it to; so yes.

Question, but for those who SOMEHOW can barely run the game smoothly because of shitty specs, does it work at 1280x720p Resolution? Like can it maybe make the GUI smaller or bigger properly?

try it out I actually don't know

dipshit level question but does it support 4:3?

Thank you so much, this will help me a lot.

@Wontairr Yep, that's what I remember.
It was a massive pain to work with. I remember having to choose between "is legible on 4K" or "doesn't look like sh𝗂t".
In the past, none of the numbers I entered did both of those things. I just got bored of trying and opened Windows Magnifier. It's not like the console moves quickly or dynamically enough to need an efficient solution... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Noxedwin console text fix is in the description now 👍

GRANDMA PHONE

Finally managed to test this out on a 4K monitor. It's almost everything I had hoped for.
Console text is itty-bitty, but I guess that's not in the purview of the addon.
And with the menu.html hack elsewhere in this comment section, the game is, like, 95% legible now.

That's some terrific stuff. It's a shame I can only do the 'Take My Points' reward once.

hm idk then, guess you just gotta try to find the font that the console uses for that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Wontairr
Did the console fix but it doesn't affect the command bar at the bottom. I couldn't find an answer in any discussions

NEW UPDATE:

Added Font Scale and Boldness configuration.

Added option to choose to scale trees or not (and if to ignore tool menu trees)

Added option to scale spawnicons.

Spawn Icon Text scales properly now.

yes it works for any resolution. you can see I actually test a 1440p resolution in the screenshots.

does it also work for 2560x1440????

The code *does* scale all gui by the amount using SetSize(). In the source engine the gui system is called VGUI. GMOD's lua implementation gives base level control of this system to create and modify panels, but the rest of the logic that makes up vgui and how it is seen is completely internal and inaccessible.

For the console you have to change the console font in garrysmod/resource/SourceScheme.res

find the line "ConsoleText" and change the tall values. there is two "tall" parameters but just change both for quick purposes.

I found out this from old gmod discussions so you could probably find more stuff about it in those.

@Wontairr
Okay. I found more than a few bugs since this conversation started (putting them in Bug Reports this time). Also, that pause menu fix doesn't seem to affect the console, do I just put the same thing in another HTML or do I have to do some tweaking?

Also, this made me think: Did you try another method of scaling the VGUI? Maybe you could've coded an option to, like, tell the game "scale all UI by X amount". Cause the usual solution was to just turn down your game resolution. I have a 3840x2160 monitor and the problem was solved by just halving it

@DanTheStar default settings should theoretically look no different, but you are able to change the scaling nonetheless

@CokedBadger this is inevitable and not everything can be compatible sadly. I recommend setting guiscaler_only_spawnmenu to 1 or 2 so that only the spawnmenu/ spawnmenu & context menu are scaled.

Tried the update and I love it, the configs are massive bc I can make everything pixel perfect, wonderful work as always

@CokedBadger I thought they added compatibility for addons like these by using the guiscaler_only_spawnmenu command? Give it a try, it's either 0, 1 or 2

@DanTheStar then Im pretty sure you don't really need this addon, but you never know, vision problems could be a factor, there's a multiplier setting so maybe you could try that

How does this work I have 1920 * 1080p screen.
