RE: Fonts are killing me

<t> When I mentioned this issue about 9 months ago, I was told by one player that everything was easily fixed by lowering my resolution.&nbsp; That actually did nothing to help, and I'm on a 1600 x 900 widescreen.&nbsp; Good to see, then, that there's real discussion and agreement among many people ...

The characters do give more personality to the various races. I would have liked seeing some variable character portraits though, instead of the single one with only a different icon for the type of character.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

RE: Distant Worlds - Space Rangers Announced!

Currently in early design phase and expected to release early in the morning on November 12th 2013,

Dead giveaway to parody.&nbsp; But really cute. :D

RE: Swords of the Stars II - Friendly warning

<t> SotS2 is playable, and not prone to crashing.&nbsp; That said, it's got a number of unfinished features, a really convoluted UI, a terrible manual, various bugs, and no tutorial.&nbsp; In other words, in a better world, where games are released when they're finished, this one would be counted ...

RE: Preview Posted on Distant Worlds - Legends

<t> Looks like the development team has been checking out some of the Paradox titles, such as Rome or Sengoku, and their governors, etc, who all have advantages/disadvantages. Or maybe something as old and enjoyable as Microprose's old Master of Orion II and Master of Magic, with their recruitable ...

Why can't you force the resolution lower? You could change the resolution of your desktop, and that should affect the game? Of course, depending on OS this may not be possible, and I have not actually tested it in recent games.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE ...

RE: POLL - What 3 things would you most like to see next in Distant Worlds?

<t> I bought the game, thinking the very small font and similar colors between foreground text and background were issues any developer would seek to resolve. They haven't been. I'd like to see a poll option for readability, but I'm not getting the feeling this is really anything that will ever show ...

I don't think fonts and text style are moddable. Although personally I have no problem at all reading any of the text in the game, a lot of people have brought this issue up. It may be something that is fixed in a future patch, simply judging ...

You can change some of the colors by changing the race color parameters.<br/>
I am not sure if the new modification document is out yet, but the old one shows you how to modify a given race's colors.

RE: Master Wishlist Thread

<t> As a lurker who bought the game about 8 weeks ago and the add-on recently, I'd like to request the option to switch to a larger font, and a more contrast-based text-on-background for the interface, pedia, etc. My eyes are still good this far on in life, but they're not quite what they were back ...

Hi Balakirev, to my admittedly limited knowledge about modding fonts and text in the game, I don't think it's at all possible to change any of this yet. It's on the modder's wishlist as many other players have voiced their discomfort at reading ...

A naive question about the UI

<t> I've recently bought both the game and the add-on. Love the complexity of it all, but I admit that I find the information interface difficult to manage. The colors are very similar, the font size small (even after trying to lower the resolution to 800 x 600 via the INI). I just wondered if ...
