About this mod

This is a small mod that replaces the blurry and confusing alchemy substance icons in several of the in-game GUI's, with those from the original Witcher game.

Permissions and credits

**This mod was created and tested using resourses from the Enhanced Edition of Witcher2.**

Although I found The Witcher 2 to be a great game, there were several small issues that annoyed the heck out of me.

One of these was with the alchemy system. The substance icons from the first game were replaced with confusing, blurry circles of similar colour.

In fact, even after creating this mod, I still have trouble identifying all those ugly circles I discarded. lol

This mod replaces six of the Witcher 2 alchemy substance icons, in the various in-game GUI screens:

Aether
Hydragenum
Quebrith
Rebis
Vermillion
Vitriol

with their much better Witcher 1 counterparts.

What about the other three (Caelum, Fulgur and Sol) in Witcher 2, you say...

scoured through the Witcher 1 textures and found three that I liked and re-colored them.

Fulgur still uses red as it is already a unique icon colour.

I assigned Caelum and Sol, brown and pink, respectively. Not because of any personal preference, but just because they are quite easily distinguishable.


Installation:

Copy the "globals" folder to  YourDriveLocation:\The Witcher 2\CookedPC

There are only 9 DDS files and 2 swf files. This will overwrite any custom 'calchemyslot.swf' and 'cfilter.swf' you may already have. So it'sprobably a good idea to check, before installing. ;)


Enjoy,

Jackal
