edited December 2012 in General Modding
I'm currently working on a larger font mod for BG:EE. If you are using non-scaled settings on higher resolutions then I'm sure you are aware of the small font issue. Exclusively available with my Archaic GUI Mod.

DOWNLOAD: http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/10158/gui-mod-archaic-for-bgee-beta-5-0-custom-inventory-buttons-start-screen-options/p1

Here is a preview screenshot of the BETA: image 1920x1080 Resolution. Top image is of larger size font and bottom is of standard size font.

    My main problem is the font size when I put the cursor on the NPCs, the name/health state is SO small!

    @SpaceInvader - Something I'm looking into is making the tooltip font larger. Thanks for your input.

    Seriously if you'll pull this off, you will be my personal hero. I can't believe that Overhaul still haven't included this feature, that they promised.

    EDIT: The things that currently annoy me the most in this order:

    1). Lack of ability to change font size (and preferably style)
    2). Background color of Journal is a little too bright for my eyes
    3). Pressing two arrow keys simultaneously to pan camera diagonally, would be nice. (in stead of one side at a time)

    Will this mod be supporting more exotic characters such as æ,ø,é,è,ü,ö,ä and å too?

    @Darksheer - yes every character that was originally intended in the stock font.

    My issue is the items count. Like the darts, potions, the item slots that have numbers are so tiny to read as well. Any way to change them?
  • ArchaicArchaic Member Posts: 924
    @ShadowSmuggler - we're very limited to what we can change. that is not something I can change at this time.

    BETA 1.0 Released... Feedback welcome.

    I figured, but it was worth a shot :/ Thanks for all your hard work!

    You are so AWESOME. Thanks alot for this! Now I finally can read without trouble.

    If it's possible and you got time in the future, it would be splendid if you could make a few more versions with several fonts (or an option to switch between font types - like Arial or Verdana)

    But none the less, thank you so much!

    @Aleque - I would love to but right now its not possible. The font you see is the only option at this point. Thanks glad you like it.

    @CoM_Solaufein - haha - that would be nice but at this point I can't find a way to use custom fonts for BGEE. The standard font file normal.bam override does not seem to work.

    By the way some of the text is displayed in form of squares. I just tried taking a screenshot, but all I got was a black image when pasting it into MSpaint. If you have time in the future resolving this issue, I would be greatful!
    Thanks for the work that you put into this so far.

    @Aleque - you can read more about this font mod here: http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/comment/219931/#Comment_219931
    I cannot resolve this issue at this point. The squares are dash marks...

    This is exactly what is needed to play on large screens like Big Screen TV.
