Proper 2K UI - Anbennar

Description
Proper 2K UI - Anbennar

This mod builds off of the previous efforts made by the Proper 2K UI and Proper 2K UI Enhanced projects, but adapted for use with Anbennar.

This is a standalone mod, so there's no need to download the original versions.

What's different?
All Anbennar GFX assets have been properly uspcaled to native 2K resolution variants, with accompanying modifications to the GUI files.

Limitations
Unfortunately, magic and dwarven expedition menus don't scale particularly well. This is because they're not really UI in the traditional sense, but rather a hodgepodge of events and images.

As such, these menus may look a bit wonky. However, that said, they're still perfectly readable, and I would argue that the overall improved gameplay experience more than makes up for it.

⚠️ This mod is solely made for use with Anbennar and will crash without it. ⚠️

✨✨ Huge thanks to LuvianQ, Glidar and Xyarvius for their efforts. Most of the UI modifications in this mod is their work, and it would have been much harder and tedious without them. ✨✨

4K version?
  • Since I don't play on 4K myself, it makes it hard to maintain proper support for such a mod. Instead, I recommend using this mod but with a GUI scale of around 1.2 - 1.3.

@Bread Cool. I dont really use the minimap so its not really an issue for me. Would you able to send me a zip file of the modified file for local use? Thanks

After digging through the files a bit, it seems like the easiest way to make it not change the checksum is to simply delete the map subfolder; any edits to that, according to the EU4 wiki, will change the checksum. However, this horribly breaks the minimap and renders it borderline unusable.

I was able to rig some code from the basegame 2K UI mod, along with its minimap border file to get the minimap working again, sort of.

You need to steal minimap_bg_border.dds from the basegame 2K mod, set up the spriteType for it in an additional .gfx file, then in minimappanel.gui (WinMerge or the like helps here) copy over the extra minimap_bg_border iconType statement towards the top. Then, in menubar.gui, for the two iconTypes and one positionType that relate to the minimap, copy over the position x/y values from the basegame mod to this one.

Leaves a lot of cursed empty space around the minimap, but it works.

Agreed. Not sure what part of the mod changes the checksum, but would be great to have it be multiplayer compatible, even if it requires a different version with some missing features.

Is it possible to make it multiplayer compatible? Seems to change the checksum

You are a gentleman and a scholar. Also, if its not fixed at the moment, Id be happy to help you with adjusting the magic menu and stuff. I just need to be pointed to the files and I can figure it out from there. DM me if you're interested :) This mod is god tier

The mod has now been updated, I also took the opportunity to fix some of the existing font issues. Let me know if you find any bugs.

FYI: I also uploaded Ad Lucem - Anbennar , the map mod I use for Anbennar. Give it a look if you like bright colors.

Didn't know there was a new update, I'll get it sorted :)

Thats part of the new province UI change. It contains all sorts of buttons like the build/upgrade roost button as well as the digging deeper button for dwarves. There are lots of changes to the new version that this mod now sadly doesnt work with.

I think I found a bug. When playing Celmador and using this mod, with or without GUIbennar enabled, you do not get the little box of options to improve members of your trading league when you open their province window. In the default UI is is located right above the buildings. The options come back when this mod is not loaded. Any ideas? Anbennar is so much better with your mod.
