About this mod
50% size reduction for the games icons viewed on your HUD in game (waypoints, resources etc). Foundation and Pathfinder compatible.
- Permissions and credits
The new Foundation and Pathfinder Updates break many mods, this one included, so there is now an update (v1.1) JUST for those running the Foundation AND Pathfinder Update (this version works on Foundation and Pathfinder). If on the original game, the old v1.0 file is the one to use still.
If you find the games icon size too large by default, this mod might help. I game on a desktop and the default size for icons seemed over large, getting in the way of the games impressive views, for my preferences. I like the games style and colour for the icons so wanted to preserve that. This mod is simply a 50% size reduction of those default in-game icons.
Credit to Less Intrusive Icons by Tiny Little Bits, that was the icon pack i first used to get around the problem i was seeing, in the end i just enjoyed the default coloured icons so went about reducing their size.
This mod is not made to run with other mods for functionality (like binocular mods etc), it simply keeps icons working as in the default game, just at 50% size reductions for those that do not game from the couch with a controller on huge wall hung TV monitors ;)
It is not perfect, the smaller icons are often smaller than the white text band they go next too and some of the finer detail is lost, but in general it achieves the desired goal of reducing what felt like icon-spam all over my HUD view, it is more subtle and may require more eye work to see where the icons are. It allows the games world view to take centre stage over the large icons.
Probably best used in the default 1920x1080(1200) format i game in on a normal desktop PC setup (like two to three feet from the screen max), they might become increasingly hard to see at higher resolutions or from across a room.
Full extensive details are included in the zip file of the mod. This mod changes the file NMSARC.4F9B8F8.pak (Original game file version) or NMSARC.552FA799.pak (Foundation Update file version) so will clash with any mods that also change those (like other icon packs etc).
To install (Original game version):
Simply unzip and copy/paste the _MOD.SweetDsHalfSizedIconsV1.0.pak file into your games \PCBANKS folder and delete the \SHADERCACHE folder.
To install (Foundation Update game version):
Simply unzip and copy/paste the _MOD.SweetDsHalfSizedIconsFoundationUpdateV1.1.pak file into your games \PCBANKS folder and delete the \SHADERCACHE folder.
If on the experimental branch or after installing the 1.12 Foundation patch or on Pathfinder you will need to create a 'MODS' folder in \PCBANKS and put it in that, then rename the DISABLEMODS.TXT file to something else. They are changing the way mods are handled by the game and soon all those on the Foundation Upgrade and later versions will need to do this. The old method still works pre the 1.12 patch currently.
Download the file and unzip the file. Read the readme and all will go well :)
