I don't know if many players of Sengoku Jidai are aware of this early mod from Adebar for Pike and Shot;

It works in SJ as well, and you can use it to get a much closer zoom, and a lower camera angle, which I think gives a much better look to the game.
My own preference is for a Pitch angle of 23, rather than 45. It gives a much nicer camera angle in my opinion. Just take a look at the screenshots in my terrain download posts if you want to see the results that you can get.

Re: Adebar's Improved Zoom mod
Thanks, but it doesn't make the roster fonts bigger (in the screen where we buy units), so I still have to use a smaller resolution.
However, thanks again for sharing.

Yes, this does not affect the font size, only the players view of the battlefield, specifically the camera angle and the maximum level of zoom.ERISS wrote:Thanks, but it doesn't make the roster fonts bigger (in the screen where we buy units), so I still have to use a smaller resolution.

Several months ago I was researching new fonts to use in Sengoku Jidai, I was looking for something a bit more oriental than the standard font. I did not find what I was looking for, but I am sure that I came across some fonts that appeared larger on screen than the standard font. Unfortunately I cannot remember what they were called, but I am sure you could find something suitable for your purposes. A slight problem that you may encounter is that SJ requires a very comprehensive font, as the some words require some unusual Japanese punctuation marks.
To install a new font you rename the new font "FONT2_ITAL.TTF", and paste it into the Core folder in your main installation. You must make a copy of the original FONT2_ITAL.TTF in case you want to go back to it.
Good luck

Re: Adebar's Improved Zoom mod
Thanks. However I don't want to change the font, but the UI choose a one step (or two?) bigger size in this file.
It may be from a text file in \Core\UI or in \System.

Re: Adebar's Improved Zoom mod
I repeat here this Pike&Shot 'mod':
What is 'ZOOM' 2nd number for? I didn't test. Edit: Oh, I guess it must be the initial welcoming zoom on the map. So it should not be very relevant.
For my 21.5' 1920x1080 monitor, I changed to this (IIRC):Adebar wrote:Go to the 'Data' folder (in the game's main folder). Make a backup copy of MAPVIEW.TXT. This .txt file is write-protected. Change this via "Properties". After that, open this file. You'll see the following lines (they may have changed from a last patch):Now you can make your changes. Then save. Then start the game and load a scenario.PITCH 45

Re: Adebar's Improved Zoom mod
Yes, I have never changed the FOV. It is the ability to lower the camera angle and zoom in more that I find useful.ERISS wrote: I didn't really see the difference with the fov, but it didn't harm.

BTW, you were right about the font size being in the System folder. There is a font.txt in the System folder that determines all the font sizes used in the game. Unfortunately there are 17 different types of font in the file, so you may have to change some or all to get the effect that you want. It seems to be a matter of increasing the height size. Maybe you should try increasing them all slightly until you get what you want, or maybe try and identify which fonts you need bigger and just change them.
Please remember to make a backup of the original file and keep it safe, in case you make a big mistake and need to go back to the standard settings!

Re: Adebar's Improved Zoom mod
This thread should be put, and even sticked, in Modders Corner part of forum.
Even, maybe let it start with my post, with in the very start a thank to Paul59 who had retrieved this mod:

Possibly, but as it was nearly three years ago I don't remember.

The problem, as I mentioned in my old post, is that Sengoku Jidai requires a very comprehensive font, and none of the fonts that I liked had all the symbols that SJ needs.
