File: Hammer Monitor Resolution Fix
Version: 0
Garrysmod.org URL: http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=123716
Description: NOTICE: THIS IS ONLY USEFUL TO MAPPERS,
IF YOU ARE NOT MAKING A MAP, THIS IS USELESS/A HINDRANCE

This is a custom texture that i made in about 30 seconds, but i hope it will be as helpful to others as it was to me.

Garry changed the monitor default resolution from 256x256 to 1024x512, and so if you use "fit" in hammer, it fits it for the wrong resolution, thus, your monitor is too zoomed in, and it's hard to fix by moving the camera

this texture is in the 1024x512 resolution (it's weird, dunno why he did that, but whatever) so use fit on this, and it will work just like it does for episode 2 or any other branch of source.
I don't know if it's best to merge this directly with your gmod folder (i did not, but i use a custom gmod mount) but you can try, and if it doesn't work, have it in while working in hammer, but remove it before running the map

NOTE: this only replaces monitor 1a, but it can easily be edited to extend to all monitors, or you could fit with 1a, then swap to the other texture

Note2: i was not finished with the camera in the third picture, i was working more on getting it working before i actually messed with it so it would look right

Note3: a version of this has been uploaded before, however, his uses a new texture that your must pakrat in, mine is JUST a hammer fix, so it uses the default textures from the engine, just scaled correctly

I sync my minecraft and maps on there, and as you can imagine, that takes up a LOT of space... already at about the 1.5 GB mark, and with only a 2 GB account...
