Crosshairs Vertically Stretched

[Chalking]

It seems like the crosshairs available in Woof are all vertically stretched, meaning they are all taller than they are wide. This applies to all crosshairs, but I'll use the Big Circle crosshair as an example here:

I pulled a screenshot into an image editor and measured that it's 60 pixels wide, 72 pixels tall on a 4K monitor. So there's about a 1.2x stretch going on. This is actually the exact same vertical difference between 200p and 240p, so I'm assuming there's some relation? Maybe the crosshairs were made for 200p, but don't account for the fact that Woof stretches the game vertically?

I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but if it is, I'd like the option to disable the vertical stretch please. I tend to turn off the crosshairs when playing Woof just because they look unattractive.
Also, it'd be nice if the crosshairs from Doom I+II could be included please! :)

Thanks as always for the great port! :)

This is a reault of "aspect ratio correction", part of the nature of the original Doom's use of 320x200 resolution at 4:3, meant that pixels were 20% taller than they were wide (1:1.2 instead of 1:1), Woof's renderring is consistently ARC'd by default, with the automap being a notable exception.

Ah I see now.
And it seems like the reason Doom I+II is able to have an unstretched crosshair is because it's rendering it in a higher resolution independent of the game resolution.
That would be a nice feature if possible!
And is the automap really not ARC'd? I also examined it in an image editor and it seems like its pixels are also taller than they are wide.

Yes, D+DII splits the rendering into two layers, one for the core game engine, and another coming from the KEX engine itself, for menus and other certain UI elements -- this is important as the KEX engine handles multi-lingual support and localization, while the plain Doom engine can't.

And is the automap really not ARC'd? I also examined it in an image editor and it seems like its pixels are also taller than they are wide.

You can press "G" (default binding) to turn the automap grid on / off, and "R" (also default) to rotate the map with the player's orientation, you'll see that the grid is square. The config file has this as an option, disabling it will make the automap vertically stretched with standard ARC

The individual pixels are stretched, but the geometry is not. A perfect square on the map will appear as a perfect square on the Automap - composed of stretched pixels, that is.
