/* ***************************************************************************** Dungeon Siege 2: Text Size Increased ______________________________________________ Mod Title: Text Size Increased Author(s): KillerGremal/F3 Mod Version Number......................: Alpha 4 Release Date............................: 17-Jan-2015 Mod Size (approx.)......................: 516 kb Contact Information (email / forum...)..: http://garage.gaspowered.com/ ........................................: http://siegetheday.org/?q=forum Web Site (for the mod / author...)......: http://ds2.bplaced.net/mods/#redict=158 ******************************************************************************** * Description Sligthly increased textes for Dungeon Siege II - since the game release perhaps your TFT became bigger meanwhile :=) ...or your eyes worse. :=( Note maybe, this mod is labelled with 'alpha' because of the rough method this mod has been made - the GUI won't scale up, just the fonts are bigger and so the terms in-game sometimes get shortened at random (which is the main reason to call this mod alpha). ******************************************************************************** * What's new Alpha 4: (17-Jan-2015) - 'book_font_height' option added to define how many pixels to reduce or increase the line height in several text areas of the lore-/handbook. For example add 'book_font_height = -2' in your DungeonSiege2.ini resp. in the DungeonSiege2BrokenWorld.ini file to move text rows vertically closer to each other. - 'book_text_unbreak' option added accepting true (default) or false to remove double line breaks in several text areas of the lore-/handbook. Alpha 3a: (5-Jan-2015) - Fixed act/chapter message (label). Alpha 3: (4-Jul-2009) - Dialogue boxes tuned for larger text/font size. - Quest book revised to lower the probability that text paragraphs overlap or become shortened due to the bigger font size resp. due to the lack of text space offered by the GUI. Alpha 2: (25-Feb-2009) - Custom font textures for black and white tuned to look sharper. - Partially abbreviations introduced since some terms did not fit into the given space if their text/font size was larger. Alpha 1: (21-Feb-2009) - Fonts replaced by slightly bigger ones (about +30% bigger now). ******************************************************************************** * Addon Compatibility This mod is compbatible with the addon/v2.3 however most manual abbreviations only will appear in v2.2 currently. ******************************************************************************** * Installation Instructions - Official procedure: Download and install the DS2 Toolkit, then rename this Mod file to *.ds2mod and save it in the folder: "My Documents\My Games\Dungeon Siege 2 Mod\Mods" Then run DungeonSiege2Mod.exe to play the game.
