Description

Some of the icons and HUD elements are not scaling properly at higher resolutions. The ghost capture icon for instance is extremely small and barely visible. Other elements such as the ghost and text messages are smaller as well though not as extreme.

To Reproduce

Set game's resolution to 2560 x 1440 and play.

Expected behavior

Icons and HUD elements should cover a similar, if not the same, amount of space in the player's screen at different resolutions.

Actual behavior

Icons and HUD elements are considerably smaller at higher resolutions.

Could you verify your neotokyo install and then try to reproduce the problem? I use a 2K monitor and the icons look fine

Hi, I think I know why mine hasn't scaled properly - I am using custom icons for my ghost and capture points.

Perhaps we could scale the element by the m_iCapTex dimensions for better custom asset size support. Or just require that custom assets match the original dimensions? Although I guess it would be preferable to support custom assets that work for the original game.

Another scaling issue example from the Discord feedback channel:

Since the TF2-SDK update, it been noted UI/text now scales better in higher resolution. Could also check the newer clientscheme.res provided in the Source SDK MP client directory for clues if we still need to alter our clientscheme.res.
