What is the resolution of the screenshots posted on the website?

I'm outputting video to a TV and am having a hard time coming up with a resolution (compromise) that allows me to read the text in the HUD clearly but not sacrifice quality of the textured objects in the game.

What do I need to do to get the font type and size that is seen in those screen shots?

Sorry, don't mean to be a pain the butt Noob....

thx, ac

You're not a pain in the ass. That's an honest question. AFAIK, U.S. (NTSC) televisions top out at 800x600, but some newer ones can hit 1024x768. I'd suggest the former resolution as your best bet.

For most things I play on the setup, I run 800 x 600 (although it will display 1024 x 768 but there is no chance at making out what text there is)... most programs I can read on it at the 800 x 600 if I bump up the font size a notch or two.... unfortunately other than the two available HUD modes, I can't find a way of changing to a larger font size...

The two HUD scales toggled in the default config are 640x480 & 800x600, but you should be able to set it to any value, although of course you want to choose your values wisely, and I'm not sure how well anything below 640x480 would work (and I'm stuck at work, so I can't check).

I'd recommend trying out various HUD scale value in-game, using commands like:
/set rHUDxscale 320; set rHUDyscale 240

Once you find what works best for you, you can edit your wgaf.cfg so that it has lines like:
set rHUDxscale 320
set rHUDyscale 240

And if you want to be able to toggle between a couple modes, use something like this in your wgaf.cfg:
alias hudscale1 "set rHUDxscale 640; set rHUDyscale 480; alias hudscale hudscale2"
alias hudscale2 "set rHUDxscale 320; set rHUDyscale 240; alias hudscale hudscale1"
alias hudscale "hudscale1"
bind F5 hudscale

Good luck...

Works great! Thank you...

Is there something similar that will do the trick for setting the font size on text in other areas? (text within tabs at the stations, Character Info, etc)

thx,

AFAIK, there's no way to change the font yet, but I think we'll see it soon(tm), probably whenever the devs get around to overhauling a lot of the interface. A1k0n did some work on the fonts not too long ago, and did mention that eventually there will be ways for players to choose their own font (and presumably font size).
