The dafault size of these informations on the screen (1280x1024) are absolutely horific - so huge:

...what is the configuration option that bring size of these oversized letters down and disable the score information as well? ...and maybe even the characters head, lol, not need... ;) I did not have time to look at anything alway, during playing... lol :lol:


I was under the impression, that changing:

seta ui_bigFont "0.4"
seta ui_smallFont "0.25"
to
seta ui_bigFont "0.1"
seta ui_smallFont "0.08"

...should have some impact. But none was observed. It just ignore these settings... What to do?
And what if someone want the scoreboard gone, but not all the other infos, like ammo, health and armor?

cg_drawIcons "1" - "toggle the drawing of any icons on the HUD and scoreboard!"

Setting cg_draw2d to 0 removes all 2D hud elements. Other than that I don't think you can do what you want.

The ui_bigFont/ui_smallFont cvars are only used in Team Arena to apply font scale ranges to the different font sets. No you can't scale the HUD or pick and choose which elements to hide in standard Q3.

Damn. So I'm stuck with these oversized ones?

What can be done?

And is there a way to get Q3 correctly render to 1280x1024 - eg. not missing the 80 pixels or so to the right?
