25th Anniversary update selection menu overlap

Open DarthMan opened this issue 2 years ago • 13 comments

Hello,

Would it be possible to fix the menu overlapping bug? https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2249046564294987547/BB24CE318C509C7C9C5A09023D13AB8CD09F4098/

I've attached a link to a picture that shows what I'm talking about. Also, would it be possible to have the CS 1.6 custom menu color support?

Cheers, DarthMan

Same thing about menus already happenned before with Alfred R. (here). Seems like VALVe does not test deeply its updates with "dummy clients", or should we consider this is done on purpose to make some ignorant people about "how to fix VALVe's issues preventing to launch games", leave HL1 games (like this: https://steamcommunity.com/app/80/discussions/0/5513030395226295398/), seriously! People usually appreciate new contents, fixes & cie, but VALVe, please test in detail all HL1 games before pushing to public... or brand such updates to beta or to another beta branch, not to the normal one, & inform people how to enable such on the changelog.

Works fine now on my PC, thanks.

Hello, I come back again to report that the issue still occurs on mods such as TFC, but works just fine on HL1 now.

I haven't looked around much (I can't be bothered.) Where is this controlled? Is its core files or just something like TrackerScheme.res that a user can edit? I'm guessing not? I spent just 20 seconds changing all the font sizes to 1 as a test. No change.

As DarthMan mentioned, it's an issue in TFC and it is annoying me now. Not just the overlapping but the in-game font sizes overall. On servers that have a lot of extra text-based info--there are moments when it becomes far too obtrusive.

I like the resized menu text as it was previously too small, just not in-game.

Which menu? The image in the first post is gone.

Ah yeah I think those menus have hard-coded positions in client.dll

It looks like this is fixable in AMX, possibly? Or at least the menus look fine on -[EVIL]- server for example: image

What resolution are you playing at? I'm playing in 4K.

Yes, the workaround (I assume) is to add blank spaces. That's what it looks like they've done(?)

You know, like this:

_2fort

2mesa3

phantom_

Instead of:

2fort 2mesa3 phantom

It seems low resolutions such as 1280 x 720 are readable: 1280 720

Any news regarding whether or not this will be fixed? It affects all games apart from CS and HL1 where the menus work fine.

DarthMan avatar May 16 '24 21:05 DarthMan

Yeah VALVe, this is an important issue, when you work on new updates, please test & finalize everything properly & fix bugs you let on them! No butcher work please! Sometimes seems like you do it on purpose!

Menus are stuff often used, mainly from AMX[X] addons most of the servers run, so you should prioritize such.
