ah, too bad. I am curious, though, with that in mind how was Warrior able to make the Raise the UI mod? -

UI Scaling / Placement for Ultra wide monitors
Koankuta posted a topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
Firstly, you'll have to bear with me as I've only started modding SC4 for a couple days. I've played for over 20 years completely vanilla, but coming across this forum has completely refreshed the experience! I've downloaded all the critical mods from this thread, along with NAM, realistic weather / lighting and various texture replacers. With a DX wrapper, I've successfully been able to play fullscreen on my SUW monitor at a resolution of 3840x1080 with no crashes. It's beautiful! My monitor is 5120x1440, however at that resolution the game crashes after a few minutes. But that's beside the point... What I'd like to change is the placement of the UI. It sits right in the center of the screen, and I'd like to move it to the bottom left corner at my resolution. I've seen other mods that move the UI by X number of pixels (like this one), so if I understand correctly it should be possible. However I'm not acquainted with modifying/creating plugins. I imagine it's more involved than, say, writing an .ini and implementing an offset by x number of pixels, but I have many years' experience working IT and am happy to learn. It's more of a question of if someone who does know how to do something like this, would they like to give me a hand in making it possible. Or, better yet, if there's a simpler solution I'm not aware of! I appreciate any contribution, thank you all for keeping this game alive! **Edit I'm embarrassed to admit that I fell for an April Fool's upload, thinking the realistic lighting mod was going to work -
I see, I had not yet seen the curved segments were included in the building menu, separately, as I simply loaded an old city with railways that were constructed before downloading the textures. Forgive me, it's my first day modding SC4, but my rails look beautiful now! thank you! I must say, too, I have downloaded nearly all the other scoty mods and the overall experience is very refreshing! I've put hundreds of hours into the game over the last 20 years, but always vanilla... it took a lot of tolerance, ha. Thank you for your contribution and keeping the game alive!
