No, not possible to do with addons. If it was, I would've done it already. But, alas, the size of the chat's input window is hardcoded.

Could you make it so the text on 4k screens fit the area so I can see what I'm writing fully? Like I can't exactly see what I'm typing because it gets cut off at the top/bottom. Still a nice mod for reading chat, just a little hard to type when I can't see what I'm typing exactly sometimes in case I make a mistake i won't know until after I post it.

Nvm, I saw an earlier comment with the same problem. It works! Thank you for this mod. :)

I have followed all steps correctly, but I can't change the autoexec.cfg file as it doesn't exist. The only file I have is autoexec.360 and it doesn't do anything since it's just a copy of the original for controller usage. I tried changing my settings to keyboard and mouse. I tried verifying my game files. I cannot find this file.
Can you please tell me if I'm missing something?

Nvm

Will this work for the text in the server browser

All right, PM with the details and I'll walk you through it.

i have file extention on, i leave the vpk in the addons folder but nothing changes. im used to the smaller letters from the console by now, but still

If you are using default Windows Explorer, make sure you have extensions visible. Otherwise you're saving the file with duplicated extensions.

If you are using Linux-based OS, some of the stuff might not work, depending on your distributive.

followed all steps, and nothing changed. after i unsub from this add on, move the vpk file to the addons folder, then nothing changes in game. made the changes in the autoexec, still nothing. do i need to subscribe again to let the add on work?

Я ВИЖУ БУКВЫ!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Technically, there are only four essential '.res' files required for the add-on to work. Everything else is just corrections for the fonts that have become unscalable for certain parts of the GUI. You can find more info in the comment sections of every scheme file.

1. No, it doesn't. Font replacements are done through the very same basic scheme files that have been edited here in order to change the font sizes.

2. Well, yes, but actually no.
'addons.res' has only one line diff from the stock one. Since 'Default' font has been adjusted for the Server Browser page in the 'L4D360UIScheme.res', it was supplemented by a custom 'DefaultScalable' font for the add-ons description: it is basically the same as the old one, which means it gets scaled for the 'Add-ons' page automatically.
If some other add-on conflicts with this one only in the 'Add-ons' menu, you can rearrange the loading order to have it override mine. Worst you would get is a smaller/bigger font in the 'Add-ons' description panel.

I have 2 questions:

1: Does this work with font replacements?
2: Is the addons.res file replacement required for the mod to function?

Thanks you, have a nice day

No. `autoexec.360.cfg` is used for Xbox 360 or when Xbox controllers are connected to PC and used as your main input method.
If you can't find `auotexec.cfg`, just go on and create it.

This might be a dumb question. I can't find the autoexec.cfg the only cfg that I find is autoexec.360.cfg. is this the same thing or no?

Thanks for the info. I will give the addonlist a try.

For the most part, these two addons can work together. You will get the conflict message, but it's mostly about the addons and achievements menus. Depending on which addon loads the last, you will either get these menus affected by one addon or the other. So if you don't visit these pages often, you likely won't notice the difference.

You could edit the addonlist.txt file in the game folder (..\Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\) to change the loading order.

My bad I posted the wrong link, its this one.

There are no conflicts with this addon, so you can just use them together.

How can I make this mod work with this one ?

This gave me aimbot. Literally,  I am shooting headshots only. This is insane, totally recommended.

God Job Men

None. You cannot dynamically change font sizes in the Source games.

which commands are responsible for the font size?

There's only so much a modder can do.

The column widths are hardcoded, so unless you find the source code and recompile "serverbrowser.dll" for 1440p, also recompiling the whole game so that it would accept the new library file, you will have to cope with it.

Same goes for the "Latency" column. You can change the width of the other ones, but, apparently, Valve decided that the player count and ping would never need more space. And they actually don't, unless you adapt the fonts for high DPI screens.

I can't preview the number of players anymore, help!

Okay, thanks

Yes, it does. And it will conflict with every addon that affects the fonts in any way.

As for the second part: no, I do not. I promised no BS and I delivered no BS.

Does it conflict with https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2704870949 ?
Both addons change font but you seem to have it on your screenshots

The addon has been updated to v1.4.0.

This is the last major update that was planned out beforehand. And unless some flaws will be discovered, or small fonts that I have overlooked, there won't be no more updates.

Go through installation procedure again and come back some other day, maybe there will be something new.

If you strive for perfection, there is an additional addon that fixes the bug with the game mode titles in the main menu (it was introduced in v1.3.0 as a necessary tradeoff):
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2900742715
It is in a separate project, because it would be incompatible with the most popular addons that add the server browser in the main menu. So use it only if you really want to, it is optional.

El Daro the savior (once again)!

The addon has been updated to v1.3.0, now supporting 1440p (2K) and 2160p (4K) resolutions.
Go through installation procedure again and come back later for future updates.
This addon is still WIP.

as some dude use 1080p laptop monitor, this helped a lot, ty

Test & Approve

The addon have been updated to v1.2.0.
Go through installation procedure again and come back later for future updates.

You are a savior. Thank you very much! Now I can see the console texts much better :)

Читерский аддон!
