Can these be modded?

Post by Der_Kuenstler »

The game save load screen is really hard for me to read. I think this could be fixed by either lightening the background or making the font bold. I was unable to find the background file or the font file - is there a way to do this? Thanks!

I doubt that those can be modded at this time - they are probably embedded graphics not accessible to modders, but I will call upon our resident expert in this regard. Erik?

In the meantime, however, consider doing this. Here is my save screen with my current screen resolution of 1920 x 1080, full screen:

Go into Options, Audio & Video, and choose a lower screen resolution. The trick is to choose one that is comparable to your current setting. 1920 / 1080 is a ratio of 1.778. Multiplying 1.778 times 900 equals 1600, so the next lower screen resolution that would be perfect for me would be 1600 x 900:

See the difference here. The save screen is bigger and although you can't tell from this screen shot, the font is darker as well. And it's still full screen. The tradeoff, of course, is that you see less of the map in your screen during game play.

Sorry, I'm basically clueless about stuff like this.

Thanks, Erik. Der_Kuenstler, then I would try my suggestion and see what you think.

OK thanks - since I only look at the load screen briefly compared to the map I'll just leave it alone because I like the map...
