[edit] Description

This is more a collection of tweaks and configs than a mod, and I'll be updating this thread as I finish each file, and people actually want them in the first place. Essentially, this is just BTmod tweaked to my liking, and taste being what it is, not everyone will like it. Updates might be sparse, as I'm actually playing the game too.

There is also an extensive guide (by the author) available for this mod: DarNified UI Guide/FAQ

Note: If your hud is cut off at the bottom, make sure the iSafeZone* values in your ini are set to default (20).

Note2: If fonts are missing in the game after the Patch (subtexts, autosave message etc.) it may help to change the ini as follows: iTexMipMapSkip=0 (or 1)[Fyrstic came up with this Thanks alot!!!] Greetz Jalen

[edit] Fontpacks

All configs rely on the following font setup!

To cope better with international (accented) characters, as of 2006-05-13 the setup looks like this:

[Fonts]
SFontFile_3=Data\Fonts\Theo_Kingthings_Petrock_22_DarNified.fnt
SFontFile_5=Data\Fonts\Theo_Kingthings_Petrock_18_DarNified.fnt

Previously, the font setup was as follows:

[Fonts]
SFontFile_3=Data\Fonts\Kingthings_Petrock_22.fnt
SFontFile_5=Data\Fonts\Kingthings_Petrock_18.fnt

You don't have to use this, but things could look really screwed up otherwise. Similar sizes could work well of course. If you don't have these, download one of the packs below, extract to Oblivion\Data\Fonts, and edit your ini to match. This clears out the handwriting font, so your scrolls and notes will look a bit odd. If you're fine with that however, read on.

The fonts listed here are made by Theo Habit, and are identical to my old ones, apart from the fact that they include the missing Latin 1 chars from the original Kingthings font. This means international users are catered for, as well as having an actual cursor in input dialogs.

The archive contain both large and normal versions for Oblivion pre and post beta. If neither suits you, make your own with Oblivion Font Generator.

Normal 1 -- Normal 2 -- Large 1 -- Large 2
