0000977: Scoreboard overflows the screen
With many players (>32) the scoreboard has a better chance of overflowing the screen on low resolutions. This should be remedied somehow, perhaps by allowing it to scroll?
No tags attached.

Also give an option to scale the scoreboard independant of the text scaling, like in Odamex.

It wouldn't be a half-bad idea to take the opportunity to implement a new scoreboard, if Torr isn't against the idea.

or maybe wait for the new zdoom stats code ;)

Someone said that even with 32 players the scoreboard can overflow the screen. In 32 player FFA it does not overflow, even with a status bar. In 32 player TLMS (I think that's the biggest it can get), it fits once you hide the status bar.

Should we have a cvar cl_maxscorelines and ccmds scrollscoresup and scrollscoresdown maybe?

One thing to also consider is that text scaling also affects the scoreboard, so you may get different results in contrast to whoever you're talking to.

A good idea would be to do what Odamex does, if I remember right it has a functionality to scale the scoreboard separately from other text elements.

I'm planning on adding new buttons that allow the user to scroll up/down the scoreboard if it's too big too fit entirely on the screen (horizontal scrolling isn't necessary though). Also, I will add new CVars to allow the scoreboard to be scaled at any resolution independent of text scaling.

Tested online with the latest 3.2 beta. I set my resolution to 640x480 and the new scoreboard scrollkeys worked as expected.
