Basically I can't seem to find any info out there, but I was wanting to know if there was a way to resize or enlarge the HUD in Software mode in Hexen II. I prefer the way it looks to GL Hexen and at a decent resolution it looks pretty damn good, but the HUD and UI shrink into non existence. I know GL Hexen you can force the hud larger, but I can't find anything on software. I was also looking to see if there was a source port that ran in software and could do it but couldn't find anything.

Think fteqw only runs in hardware.
Hammer of thyrion might do software
Ultimate quake engine is another option but I want to say is hardware only.

There is no way. It'd require a new scaling function to draw the 'pics' at a variable scale and this is rarely implemented in software idtech engines. Whether Hammer implemented this (the only real option for Hexen II source ports) I can't recall anymore
