Quick question about SS6.1

**Madden** · August 24, 2008, 07:22 AM

Using SS6.1 + BGRIII + RR + SSTC

Is there a way to mod the view of this specific text?

On my set up, the background is so well textured that text is almost not even viewable. The same "colour" is listed for Heir names under family tree menu, Unit descriptions, and even the V&V's of each Named character.

Even if I could just edit that grainy background to just white, that might even help.

Anyone have a clue about where to find these files?

With all the absolute great modders working for SS I would think at least one of you guys would know???

Please help me out with this, thanks in advance.

It looks normal too me. I have same colours in my game. I have no idea if you can change those. They seem to be exactly the same colours since Rome...

I used that pic from screen already posted, so it's not what I'm seeing. When I play the campaign that text is extremely hard to read, but isn't on Rome.

I'm sure there must be a mesh/tga or something for the at least the background texture of those windows that come up though. The background is so defined that it has diagonal lines that appear kind of shadowy...and that combination makes the text unreadable.

It would be far easier for everybody if you posted a screenshot. (print screen in game, alt+tab to windows, win+r, type "mspaint", press control+v, save as jpg, post to imageshack.com and give a link here).

I'm not sure why a screen is needed?

I just want the find the texture files for that background. It's used for almost all the popup menus. It's the background mesh that's almost a light tannish colour.

The specific text is used throughout the game on numerous menus (mentioned above). This text would have to be set using a standard colour #chart or somthing...ie 222 144 242 ect...

The pic I posted is just an example of what I'm looking to edit. As is for me to improve the visibility of that specific text I have to turn the graphics setting wayyy down.....so I will try and edit the text to be more visibile with high graphics.

Showing us a pic might allow us to see what you're seeing, so we can come up with some additional ideas. I've got no idea what the exact problem is that you're having.

Ok these pics should sum up what I'm wanting to do.

Thanks for the help guys.

I want to make the text darker, and/or the background lighter.

Your game seems to be configured to very bright settings. Maybe try toning it down a bit to some darker theme?

Thanks for the reply but I want to edit the text and texture....a darker theme would effect the entire game ie units and battle--which both I like as is.

Thanks for the help everyone. I have located the mesh for the background.

I still need to find where the text is located though....if anyone is interested in helping out.

Again thanks in advanced.
