Arcanum High Resolution Patch is a mod for Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, created by Drog Black Tooth.
Description:
Arcanum High Resolution Patch is an extensive engine hack and probably the most complex mod I've done up to this point. It rewrites many subroutines to make the engine fully scalable to any resolution, and calculates positions of all elements of the interface (well over 1000 offsets) for the desired width and height by using formulas. Additionally, it adjusts sound positioning, fixes a number of UI bugs and disables sprite mirroring (if used without the UAP).
Features:
- Full support for any resolution.
- All elements of the interface perfectly centered.
- All elements of the interface remain their original size with no custom graphics in any resolution.
- Full compatibility with any mods that are based off the 1.0.7.4 version.
- Full compatibility with older save games.
- Improved Compact UI. Can now be accessed anytime by pressing F10.
- Optional larger dialog and logbook fonts.
The patch runs on WeiDU, as it includes a rather flexible binary patcher with support for formulas. Qwinn's search and replace macro is also used.
Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions. The installer doesn't auto detect your Arcanum folder, please be careful.
Changing to another resolution/Uninstalling: Go to your Arcanum folder and run HighRes.bat (do NOT run Setup-HighRes.exe directly, it won't work).
