[Mod] Tchos' HD Widescreen UI Menu and Loading Screen 2023-09-27

A Mod that Improves the Menu/Loading Screen

  1. Felipe
    A 1920x1080 set of menus and loading screens for NWN2 based on the pre-expansion versions.

    1. Summary

    The menus and loading screens for NWN2 were designed for a 4:3 monitor aspect ratio, and on a modern widescreen display will appear either stretched out horizontally or have black bars on the sides.

    Additionally, when you patch your game to the latest version, the vanilla menus are changed to a Storm of Zehir theme, which, while well-designed, is a little too specific for my taste -- and was especially inappropriate when I hadn't yet played the OC or Mask of the Betrayer!

    This interface mod provides a menu and loading screen background based upon the original vanilla version, but edited to full HD widescreen format. I made them in such a way as to have as little distortion as possible, and none in the focal area. They should scale down to lower widescreen resolutions as well.

    Also available here is a background to add a little more life to the character creation and level-up screen and other screens that use the same background. Install this by placing it in the same location as the others. You can replace this with any wallpaper of your choice if you save your chosen wallpaper as a TGA with the same name as this one. It will need to be in a 16:9 aspect ratio or it'll be distorted.

    According to a report, these also worked satisfactorily at the non-16:9 resolution of 1680x1050.
