Mod Author: xpressive_dan (OldMan-sprint)
Mod Name: Silverfall - Unofficial Bigger Text Font
Mod version: 0.97
Mod Status: Released to public

At a request from a friend I made this mod for this little gem of a game. This mod is compatible with "Silverfall: Gold Edition" or the new "Silverfall - Complete" from GOG but should work with steam version too.
This mod is based on "Silverfall - Complete" from GOG at a request from a friend.
This mod don't add/edit any fonts or images and this mod is using the biggest font available from vanilla with the expansion game.
This mod is for how the game should have been.

ATTENTION: You should make sure you have the base game with the expansion before using this mod.

The major problem with this "Silverfall" with the expansion "Earth Awakening" aka "Silverfall: Gold Edition" or the new "Silverfall - Complete" from GOG is that you'll struggle hard to read any text in the game, because the text is really small even on lower resolution.
This game isn't without any problems and it have his fair share of issues and some bugs.
Some of those are:
- Graphical issue on 3D preview crafting system ;
- Issue with some icons (text content is not show when you mouseover them) ;
- Small text even on lower resolution ;
- Some missing text ;
- Some other things I forgot to type down when tested this game .

With this mod you'll have an improvement readable text in the game, making a bigger fitting text for the game.
This is a real unofficial improvement text which don't have your typical copy the biggest text font 4 times then rename those 4 fonts with the name for other smaller fonts.
This mod fit the improvement text to be able reading properly without any cutoff text and also is edited to fit on various tabs menus, icons etc. Along with bigger text resolution, fit the text in various menus/icons etc. you'll also see a crisp text in the game.
Even more this mod works well with all resolution screen and don't even matter with what resolution you'll play, lower or higher the text will be seen the same sharp and on same size as other resolutions.

This game have a stroke effect which you can use and manipulate the text to improve the quality of the text. It's too bad they didn't fully use this system...
It could have been even more fun with this game if they didn't left many stuff left unfinished and/or broken.

Now with this mod you can enjoy playing more this little gem of game.

P.S. If you find any missing, errors, issues or incomplete text, icons then please contact me using the forum where this mod was posted. Thank you, take care and have fun.
