font is scaled badly in acs

[GGianpy]

good evening,
I always use hudmessage() to make screen messages in acs, but only now have I noticed that putting the game at 16: 9 all text looks like ass!
trying to raise the resolution with sethudscale() makes the font too small.
How do I resolve?

You can't. This is caused by the font not being scaled by an integer multiplier. If you do not want that you either have to use a smaller or larger scale.
If you designed for a size of 640x480 and go to 720 pixel height from there you get a setup where only every second pixel is doubled and that can look really bad.

I found a way using sethudsize (getscreenwheight(), getscreenheight()) and get a hud scaled correctly, but it gets smaller based on the screen.

so if one plays with a 4k screen one will see extremely small elements.

How can I solve in acs?
if the acs can't fix it, the zscript can?
if it can, how? (with examples).

You have to set a size of which the screen size is a multiple in full integers, e.g. for 1920x1080 or for 3840x2160, you'd have to set 960x540 which is either 1/2 or 1/4 of the full screen size. But you will have to do the math yourself to find the best fitting size.

ok, i tried to put 960x540 but it comes out ultra widened.

One thing I noticed when entering 640x480 is that point 0 is not really at the top left of the screen (in 16:9) but 107 pixels ahead.
Why?

Using sethudsize(getscreenwheight(),getscreenheight()) instead appears at the actual point 0.

could you give me an example to try to solve my problem?

ok, i found a way to fix it!

It was enough to change this setting to 2.0, by default it is 1.0

how can i do that in my mod by default it becomes 2.0?

i also asked the discord server but i'm stupid and i don't know what "Math "i have to do.

I'm not as smart as you want me to be, can you tell me the mathematical solution?
