Playing on a 4k Monitor

[deezy]

so i've taken up the 4k challenge and have been editing my xml files to upscale the UI. The one thing I'm having the most trouble is with spell gems no matter which window they might appear in. does anyone have a solution for up scaling spell gems?

I play at 4k and have a similar problem with the text inside the UI. I have found that you can modify individual .xml files to increase the font size within the related UI window. I use Notepad++ to edit .xml files. Go into the UI directory for the skin (I use duxaUI) and start clicking around. Backup your original UI Folder and then find the .xml file related to the pet window, playerUI, or whatever, and take a look at the variables inside. You can search for "size" and it will put you in the neighborhood of what you need to start modifying. Make a mental note of the X/Y ratios if you are going to start changing window sizes. Keep track of the default orientation if you are changing multiple lines of next within a window.

You can use "Load UI" to check your progress without restarting the game. If you mess something up you can either load your backup/original UI file or undo the most recent change(s) in the text file and restart. I have made only a few changes to the pet window and HP/Mana figures in Player UI. All the changes I have made have been a product of trial and error.

Sorry for necroing this thread, but I am encountering the issue of 4k resolution but I want full screen windowed and to get this you need to run EQ at the TV native (3840x2160).

I've increased to "/chatfontsize 6" (didn't know 6 was an option, thanks), but it only addresses a portion of the problem. What remains are exceedingly tiny UI elements like spells, health, etc. You get the picture.

Has anyone developed a UI for P1999 for native 4k yet?

Have you tried this? https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...46&postcount=6

Thank you for the reply. My scale in Windows 10 is currently set at 250%.

It would appear the key here in WinEQ, a program I do not use.

Can you show me the overall thread? The link is to a specific post and I cannot see the rest of the the thread.

Thank you!

*EDIT* Nevermind - I see the way to get to the thread. Trying to get to Deezy's UI now.

Hi folks,
Not sure if this thread is too old for me to bump, but here goes.

I've done what I think is the right setup for a 4k system -

- Installed and using WinEQ
- Set windows font size to 200%
- Downloaded Rustle2 and unzipped it under my game uifiles directory
- Set my display resolutions in eqclient.ini
- Logged on, set chat size to 6, and loaded skin rustle2.4k

I do see some good effects and the graphics look pretty good, but my basic problem is with all the text on the buttons and in the chat input area itself. These are all off in some way that causes them to be basically unreadable. It's particularly unenjoyable to type into the chat window without being able to read what I'm typing. Also all the menu options during login and trying to set things like music volume are similarly unreadable. I can mostly guess what to do to log in but it certainly makes using the client less enjoyable. Has anyone solved this? Am I missing something here?

Awesome, I'm gonna give this a shot. Thanks for posting this info. I just came back so I'm gonna see if I can get it looking right as well.

You guys need Shawk UI.

It is the velious UI upscaled the way it should be for us playing in much larger resolutions ... it is a work of art!

Please check this video:




You can get the download links for it in the video description or here in eqinterface:

Personally it is my go to UI ...

My only wish is there was a halfway version of it . It literally magnifies the Velious UI by 2.0 times, I would love a 1.25 and 1.5 upscale to complement this one which is 2.0 times magnification, and I have other smaller but also biggish p99 setups where this ui is actually a bit big

Man I love this UI so much, it is exactly what this game needs, everybody else keeps using the same scaling for uis, Shawk is the only one that decided to go full upscaling.
