Mod Request
 

Hi guys,

Is there any mod around that will make the font size bigger in the "message box"?

And a mod that will show the numbers of the bearings, distances, angles and so on, bigger on the map so i can actually see it without hitting monitor with my head, or lowering the resolution.
Also the compas-tools are hard to read.

Sorry, couldn't resist! :D but what monitor do you use? LCD? And do you run it in native resolution?

My eyes aint that ****ed up yet i think :> i just like to lean back when i play.
My monitor Samsung Syncmaster 2443 running on 1920x1200.

I look at that monitor on a regular basis, but haven't played SH4 on it.
Pretty sharp image although some rather large pixels... 0.27mm.

Mine is a LG L2000 with pixels 0.25 and the difference is not that big, but it is a bit sharper.

But I can easily see tiny text on both screens in normal sitting conditions, like 50-80 cm away from screen...

Perhaps you can try a monitor running native 1440 or perhaps lower, 1280?
Note, that if you lower resolution on your monitor, the image will be blurred.


Still you should take an eyetest. :up:

it wouldnt work because the text are just image files on a grid and the letters are used / shared with other text boxes for things so it will look ok with one text box but then you will see it doesnt fit right in other text boxes

if i remember correctly, there are three main texts that are used and i had made a mod where i changed the color to make them easier to read but by changing the image file the edges were a little blurry so some people thought it was easier to read before i changed the color

Thank you Webster.
I actually have downloaded your mod short after i posted this topic.
Along with Better Cursor , and Better Sonar mod. I think i will get the Airplanes and Radio messages 2. Thanks for your work.

Dont you happen to have anything like boat Skins-pack? Most of the links on the forum are dead.I found great website but the downloads aint working either.http://www.oldsmobile1958.com/silenthunter/

i did an s-boats mod to make the s-boats act more realistic and with it i redid the textures for it that i think look pretty good :up:

i also did a mod to fix the pink waterlines seen on some stock ships



modding isnt hard, it just takes some spare time and you often have to redo things a few times to get it the way you like it. its all about not being afraid to fail and being willing to try learning how things work :yeah:
