Title: Changing Fontsize
Post by: Knitler on June 03, 2014, 06:55:20 pm
Heyo, after i recognized that pretty much ppl are still using the "vanilla - big as fuck font" i want to show you how to change it. (Maybe General Discussion isnt the right place, but it isnt a guide either)

First i want to let you see how normal fonts are looking compared to the smaller / not half your monitor taking font.

(click to show/hide)

Thanks for Dark_Blade for screens (had the same resolution) and i was to lazy to switch my fonts  :mrgreen:
Dont mind the Graphics and so on - just look at the fontsize , its ridiculous isnt it?
Specially on high resolution and big monitors its "spamming" half of your screen, its annoying as far as i can tell.

(click to show/hide)
(click to show/hide)

Basically; You see more and have more informations about what has happened on your screen, its a pleasure to read it like that, not like the big ass fonts.
Its also sizeing down the time, money, teamnumbers, multiplier - EVERYTHING.
Even more helpful on smaller monitors most of the time.

Its rather easy to explain;
Go to your M&B:Warband folder - either steam or normal - in the main folder (no mod folder) there should be a data folder.
Click on the Data folder - then you should see "font_data" - Open it with something you can open it with (i use EditPad Lite, should also work with open office and other stuff)

The second line is important;
Default: <FontData width="2048" height="1024" padding="10" font_size="70" font_scale="100" line_spacing="100">

You have to edit the "font_size"
Mine: <FontData width="2048" height="1024" padding="10" font_size="98" font_scale="100" line_spacing="100">


You can do it in another size, you just need to test it for abit - the higher the size , the smaller the font (weird).
Hints: If you want to test around with it, you need to go 2 numbers up to have progress / also begin with "90" , if its too small for u, u need to go down again like; "84"


Hope its helpful and some of you guys will use it - i recommend it.

ALternative: in game Options -> Graphics -> "Font scale" slider. Not so fancy, I know, but it works too!  :wink:

It kind of works, yes. But its somehow not the same, in the document is also font_scale which is not affecting anything.

Also, my thingie here is also changing it in all other mods :-) and some ppl are STILL not using WSE²

Depends on the resoultion and monitorsize - and i told you to go in 2 steps like = 72 - 74 - 76 - 78 - 80 - and so on ^^, when you dont do it its kinda fucked up.
