FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I just updated to 0.4.11 and saw this …

In the menu it’s all fine and properly scaled and centered.



… when starting the game and open the inventory it’s waaay too large …



… same with furnace …



… or is it just me?

adjust the Gui scaling settings in minetest config file

I wanted my hotbar larger so I adjusted the settings
and noticed all the formspecs are now bigger too (as well as wield items)

I did. That’s the problem.

Seems like the menu uses a smaller scale factor than all other formspecs in-game.

It could be related to fonts... not sure right now

Yep, you seem use your own external font. I don't recognize it packaged with the engine.

Your issue may come from that point.

Removed all font related stuff from minetest.conf. Same extremely huge formspecs ingame and normal size menu.

It's a feature. Minetest automatically adjusts the size of formspecs to be the same on all screens. If it is too big for you, use the setting in minetest.conf

Are there different settings for ingame and menu? When scaling ingame to an appropriate size the menu is unreadable small (not to mention that the font is scaled down to unreadability too, when having formspecs the appropriate size).

Why can’t we just switch back to the old behavior?

I'm pretty sure this was introduced with the development of the Android app and it's tiny multiple sized screens.

Somewhat related; e.g. GUI scaling:

I had a point where operator error created a GUI scaling of 0. This caused a GUI crash upon startup. Can we please have a code snippit that sets a GUI Scaling to a default value when it detects an invalid value for the GUI Scaling.
