Changing the size of text characters September 01, 2009, 08:28:51 am Is it possible to change ingame text size? I like the old simutrans version 84, becasuse text was large enough and i was easy to read. But in the newer versions text so small that i don't want to play. Quote Selected
Changing the size of text characters Reply #1 – September 01, 2009, 09:13:03 am Welcome to the forum, tedomedoNo, it's not possible to change the text size.Funny enough, I have played version 84 as well (a long time ago) and I don't recall a change in text size. What operating system are you using? Quote Selected
Changing the size of text characters Reply #2 – September 01, 2009, 11:05:43 am There must be something in resolution or something. I ran simutrans v84, pressed printscreen and pasted it to ms paint. Then i did the same with simutrans v102 and i see that picture of v102 is bigger than v83's picture but text size is the same. Here are these 2 pictures: http://www.shrani.si/?3o/YS/1Pla7BJc/sim-v102.jpghttp://www.shrani.si/?5/gO/2uxYL1Ug/sim-v84.jpgIs there something i can do to make v102 "smaller" and bigger text as result?

Changing the size of text characters Reply #3 – September 01, 2009, 11:07:37 am You can change the resolution of the fullscreen mode or you can use the window mode (both can be changed in simuconf.tab). Quote Selected
Changing the size of text characters Reply #4 – September 01, 2009, 11:09:59 am For larger text, use a smaller resolution. 800x600 is the resolution of the screenshot from v84, so if you want to match that, give it a go. Quote Selected
Changing the size of text characters Reply #5 – September 01, 2009, 11:15:00 am I'm using shortcut like this: "...\simutrans.exe" -screensize 800x600 -fullscreen" but if i change resolution to any other like 1440x900, this doesn't change text's size. Changed resolution using SimuStarter doesn't help as well - text size is always the same. If it possible to change resolution in simuconf.tab?

When using fullscreen mode with a resolution that is different from the display's original resolution: Does your monitor interpolate the pixels (this causes quality loss), or does it show a black border around the ST screen?QuoteIf it possible to change resolution in simuconf.tab?Yes, look for display_width (and following ones) in .../simutrans/config/simuconf.tab Quote Selected

Everything looks well - except text is so **** small that it's difficult to read it.If there anything i can do to make text larger?If i change Windows' display resolution to something like 800 x 600 then text in Simutrans is larger - but this isn't the way i want to increase Simutrans text size.

Re: Changing the size of text characters Reply #9 – September 02, 2009, 06:57:26 am Halleluyah! There's solution in readme.txt:Quotesimutrans -res n------------------------------where n is one of 1,2,3,4,5The switch -res chooses the resolution at program start:1 = 640x4802 = 800x6003 = 1024x7684 = 1280x1024Resolution no. 5 runs Simutrans in a window instead of fullscreen mode(Windows version only)I wonder why using command "simutrans --screensize width x height -fullscreen" doesn't work.

Re: Changing the size of text characters Reply #10 – September 02, 2009, 08:05:03 pm Tested with Win-SDL r2622: Right, the parameter -screensize (not --screensize) seems to be known and evaluated, but only to the extent that it sets the resolution to what it would have been anyway, overriding settings in simuconf.tab. This looks like a bug, or the documentation in the English and German Wiki is (or has become) wrong (I was involved in writing these parts, so I guess that I checked if the parameter works).Setting the resolution only in simuconf.tab works as it should.
