Quake Live HUD Tutorial

Size



A) To alter the size of text elements (health and armor numbers, etc.)

look for lines like this:

textscale .62

Alter the value to change the text size.

Changing .62 to 1.24 would double the size.
Changing .62 to .31 would reduce the size by 50%.


B) To change the size of icons

itemDef {
name "health"
rect 68 1 22 22

change the values that indicate the size of the container.
The first value is x.
The second value is y.

If you wanted your health icon to be twice as big, you would change "22 22" to "44 44"


Modify the values until you are satisfied.
