Set up global scale multiplier and started rewriting the UI to support it. The main menu had just couple of easy elements so I picked it to show that scaling is possible.

How often are you in the main menu when using faf? :lol:

Kidding, nice proof of concept to bring the game to the age of 2k20.

Nice work. The spawn positions and mex markers are all over the place though. Can it be fixed?

Just looks like the spawn and resource markers have have been rewritten to work with the multiplier and the image for the map hasn't yet, can't imagine that will be too hard.

Can't wait to see how you go with the ingame UI speedy <3

As expected some of the UI elements could use a better code, so after some refactor it will be possible to scale them without unexpected results.

Finally, don't have to tell people why I barely pay attention to lobby chat because I can actually read it now.
