Bigger font (Tested-Confirmed working)

[Silver]

Hi,
I join this forums since the area of RTW but haven't posted a single topic.
My friend made a bigger font mod for shogun total war 2 based on a mod of medieval total war 2 (i do not remember its name).
I tested and confirm it works 100%, you guys can check the pictures below:



Here is the link to the pack file and user.script.txt file (mediafire link)

Please accept my poor english and try this mod out and if it is possible improve it.
Thank you very much


Here is the new version with reduced font size, less overlapping text

I tested it already, work perfectly and font are much better now. Please download and give us comments and advices.

EDIT: Will upload some screenshots of my own, if only to demonstrate the issues :S

Obviously it works as the OP says, its just the fact that the space the text occupies isn't intended for that size, resulting in overlapping areas. Which in my opinion renders it rather unusable.

Its a good start, but until these issues are resolved (If/when thats possible) I'd suggest changing to a WIP.

Finally at least a proper working mod, but can you please decrease the size a little, maybe make different sizes and let people decide which one they want.

[sik1977]

Thank you for the Mod. As others have pointed out, perhaps you can fine tune the font size a little bit so that the text fits better within the allocated space. Perhaps a font size smaller than the one used would do the trick.

Once again, well done and keep it up.

[Dynamo11]

Yeah if you can get the size to about halfway between the mod's and vanilla's then we are good to go

[Fompt]

yes yes, great start. I'm trying to talk to CA on their official forum about it but something tells me that isn't going to end good

what did they change - and why - in that empire patch which resulted in unreadibility of fonts?

[Brips]

Cool!

[Silver]

Thank you very much for good advices
Actually I take no credibility for this mod. This is my friend's work. I told him about the font size too big and he is fixing it, hopefully it will be available soon

True I just looked at it quickly just to see if it worked I see now. Yeah if it was a tad smaller like what Dynamo11 said about halfway between the 2 should be perfect. Either way it's progress for the blind ha!

[wuhugm]

Yeah, at least it's totally playable now

Thanks a bunch

Copy largefont.pack in your data folder (should be something like Steam\SteamApps\common\total war shogun 2\data).

Copy user.script.txt in:
If you have XP - C:\Documents and Settings\(Your username)\Application Data\The Creative Assembly\Shogun2\scripts
If you have Vista\Win7 - C:\Users\(Your username)\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Shogun2\scripts

[bobby gunz]

it worked. the issue was in windows 7 you have to type in appdata cause its hidden. the game is now playable thanks soo much silver. i can now play on my laptop

[vermicious knid]

Is it possible to change the font style, to perhaps something like Azuki, which is a brush-stroke style font that would perhaps lend a more authentic Japanese appearance to the font?

[SonOfCrusader76]

Two problems: one, the text overlaps, like in Empire and two, it's the same font as Empire. Something more Eastern would be nice. Good work anyway.

[napoleonic]

alright I get this working but can someone please tell or do something to reduce it say 10%???!!!
