Version: v1.23 NWN2/MotB/SoZ only (older patches will not work)
This mod aims to provide a better NWN2 UI experience at higher resolutions. By default, the NWN2 UI does not scale and becomes increasingly difficult for some players to read at resolutions of 1280x1024 and above.
The mod increases the size of fonts in the game. Many NWN2 UI panels are made larger to accommodate the larger fonts.
A zip file and a windows installer are available. The installer places the files in the Neverwinter Nights 2\ui\custom\FI_Big_Fonts_UI folder in your My Documents.
Many thanks to WhatIsSol for all his hard work on this mod.
Please drop a comment below if you find any clipping problems etc. which you'd like fixed.
Installation instructions:
See the readme file. Mod now offers a choice of inventory screens with or without the SoZ cargo button.
TonyK's AI patch:
This fixes a few UI glitches that occur when you use TonyK's Companion and Monster AI and the Big Fonts UI.
Only use if the current UI patch is the same version as TonyK's AI. If TonyK's UI is a newer version, don't use an older version of the patch. There will just be some small UI glitches until I make a new patch.
Change log:
1.23 (29/08/09)
Updated to patch v1.23.
Included GrinningFool's handy store no-reset patch
1.22 (28/02/09)
Updated to patch v1.22.
Merged in the SoZ beta changes.
Party bar changed to support 10 portraits.
Removed annoying 'Game Paused' notification from SoZ.
Essential for playing NWN2 on any reasonably sized monitor, I wouldn't go without it.

It seems, it's related to "stylesheet.xml". When I delete this file from your mod's folder, quickcast works normally. And, naturally, your mod is not working normally at all :).

Hi. Thanks for your post and vote. The missing text is a common problem due to buttons in xUI being too small. I've not heard about the quickcast problem before. My UI doesn't affect that UI item, so it must be a weird xUI problem. You could try deleting quickspell.xml from the xUI distribution. f*i _________________________ NWN2: Big Font/High Res GUI // Extra Spell Swapping // NWN1: Colourised Scrolls // Both: Reviews and more

I have two problems with compatibility between your mod and XiDragon's xUI. When both mods installed: 1. Enabling quickcast menu crashes the game. 2. Some text in xUI options is missing. While second problem, most likely, is all about xUI, I'm posting it here, since xUI not being developed anymore.

Hi guys, Updated the archives to v1.23 now that I can play NWN2 again (post-hotfix). v1.23 exposed a lot more of the TonyK AI settings, so we've now got those in the base game. I've included Grinning Fool's Store Scroll Reset patch since it's very handy and I can't see how anyone could not want it :) Probably no need for the TonyK's AI patch now, I'd just play with the base version and we'll see what TonyK does in future. fi _________________________ NWN2: Big Font/High Res GUI // Extra Spell Swapping // NWN1: Colourised Scrolls // Both: Reviews and more

Thanks Lanthos. Some random info on the bag: The image of the bag doesn't actually do anything when clicked. It's one of the original icons that allow you to switch between the smaller inventory screens in the original inventory UI. Surprisingly, if you remove it (as I did previously), the inventory UI doesn't work properly. It's actually also in the soz inventory screen but hidden beneath the cargo button. f*i _________________________ NWN2: Big Font/High Res GUI // Extra Spell Swapping // NWN1: Colourised Scrolls // Both: Reviews and more

Thanks fireIce great work! Now I can see from my couch now. I have a 40" Sony Bravia and was straining my eyes to see everything. Much better. Love the equipment menu no more tiny little bags to look through. Don?t know what the image of the bag next to the sort is. I haven?t run into any problems yet. _________________________ No trees were harmed in the sending of this message, but several 0?s and 1's were severely inconvenienced?

Hi guys. No v1.23 patch for now since the patch causes NWN2 to crash on startup for me :) Still, from the look of the changes, the v1.22 Big Font UI should work fine for now. fi _________________________ NWN2: Big Font/High Res GUI // Extra Spell Swapping // NWN1: Colourised Scrolls // Both: Reviews and more
