XIII - Beta font addon

You're welcome :-)

You won't gonna believe it but a guy from the XIII discord is trying to replicate it in the retail version. His name's Arthur also know as Locke. Here's how it looks (it is like a cosmetic since it doesn't represents the damage of the player):https://gifyu.com/image/iTYu

God and bad news ahead: There's a modified XIIIPLUS.U file made by locke that bring those messages back! default pawns are called "Someone" others have names (they cut it way late). You'll see em more in spads involved missions, some pawns or character doesn't have a name (example ". killed xiii"). Bad news. We don't known how to bring back "le cheins" or dogs. Default characters uses "basesoldiers" specials characters (like cinematic ones) uses "CINE01" archetype but an special pawn controller for dogs couldn't be found anywhere. In my opinion, Ubisoft removed it way back 2002 (pre june 2002 IMO) to evade any controversial thing about shooting a dog.

To play with the "special messages after death" or BETA HUD (which is kind of buggy) the user (the reader of this chunk of text) needs to update the game using the last insidexiii patch available on it's discord. I think I can paste it here after ending this message.

steps to update bellow (copypasta from discord since it is kind of dead...like the sequel lol)

This last update brings the following:

CONTENTS
* Dedicated Server functionality (use XIII\Server\UCC.exe to host a dedicated server)
* Better network settings
* Input optimizations
DefUser.ini
bMaxMouseSmoothing=False

* Console commands:
ShowCartoon - Toggle cel-shading mode for the length of a running application session (does not affect popup windows though)

* New settings in Default.ini/XIII.ini. They are totally optional, so you need to add the following block manually if you want to use them.
Default values:
[XIIIMPGame.XIIIConsolePlus]
bManualFOV=False
bShowCartoon=True

Explanation:
bManualFOV - Disable automatic setup and allow overriding value like it was originally (not recommended)
bShowCartoon - Same as the console command but permanent setting

* Exposed available sound/music properties of the HarmonX audio engine in DefUser.ini (not very useful but for the sake of completeness):
[HXAudio.HXAudioSubsystem]
MusicLightVolume=-6.000000
MusicNormalVolume=0.000000
MusicSliderPos=2
MasterVolume=0.000000
SoundVolume=0.000000
VoiceVolume=0.000000
SoundProject=XIIISound
Superviser=False
LevelBanks=True

RunSpeed=0.000000
WalkSpeed=0.000000
SDVolume=0.000000
MinCheckTime=0.000000
CheckLoading=False

* Visuals: Screen resolution
Added widescreen screen resolutions to the video menu. Be aware they are hardcoded and don't necessarily represent the actual working options for your system. I recommend to keep it in sync with your native setting. If you miss a specific resolution, let me know!

* Visuals: FOV and HUD view adjustment
Added automatic FOV calculation according to values listed on PCGamingWiki, e.g. a 4:3 aspect ratio gets a FOV of 85. 16:9 will have 101.40 and so on
Added different weapon view offsets depending on FOV (so they don't happen to occupy half of the screen in a bad case)

***About bManualFOV***

after disabling it you'll get access to the command DEBUGWVO which let you allign the gun model from your screen fov. sniper way to big? you may move it a little far away to get more space on screen. for this you must have a numpad (I think you can change the controls somewhere but can't remember) pressing the num 0 saves everything. Sad thing is in dual weapons only the right hand will be modified, while the other will be stick in default.
