Definitely Larger Subs - v2.00

Description
It Does Exactly What It Says on the Tin
Enlarged Captioning for Speech & Sound Effects
This mod makes larger type size for hi-res screens.

Theoretically, the Source game engine automatically scales fonts according to current vertical resolution. However, in case of unmodified (vanilla) Black Mesa that’s not always true. But fortunately there is a font property setting to address the legibility problem in high resolutions, and we used that setting for captions and subtitles which were too small to read in high definition otherwise. This DLS level up-scales captioning and fixes a bug with HEV boot up messages.
To:
  • Up-scale Speech & Sound Effects Captioning Only
Use DLS Level:

is it possible to reduce the subtitles in 4k resolution, they are too big now

Subs are way too big for my taste with this mod and I'm scared of how a fighting scene would look like with all the barks etc (1440p here and it feels like I have the subtitle size for 4k or more), but it works!

[quote=Stap] So, this mod automatically enlarges subs based on the current resolution? You can't, say, make bigger subtitles if you play on 1920*1080? [/quote]

That’s it, essentially. As seen on the picture, the mod is already “switched on” and makes enlarged subtitles at 1920×1080 resolution, compared to original size. One shouldn’t set subs font too large because there are some very long text passages in Black Mesa to display as one subtitle and the displaying routine is restricted to a limited screen space.
