16:9 Hud Fix for Widescreen

[Alien]

Hey guys. Awhile back I made a widescreen hud fix for 16:9 monitors. Basically it just scales down the icons and reduces the stretching significantly if you're using a widescreen mod. This is only an in-game hud mod, it does not affect the game menus in any way.

Heres some comparison shots (forgive me for the bad quality):

I haven't tested this extensively so there may be a few graphical errors here and there. This probably won't look so nice on 16:10 monitors either, but it'll still work if you want to try. Anyways, feel free to distribute this or reupload anywhere you like. Here's the download link:

{LINK REMOVED}http://www.mediafire.com/download/o7goqwy99bl80mt/16x9_Hud_Fix_by_Alien.rar

Just throw both of the .gui files in your "steamapps/common/Knights of the Old Republic II/Override" folder.

EDIT:

Just so everyone sees this. Hypen-C uploaded a fixed version of my mod here:

Use this instead of the mediafire link.

You still need a widescreen patch for this to work as far as I know. This just unstretches/scales down the HUD after one of those is installed. If you're wondering how to do that theres a good guide here:

The link for the Squizzy Kotor2 Resolution Patcher in that guide is broken but here's a mirror:

no i had a guide but the links to 16:9 hud fix things were broken in it so this one worked.

Great work and beautiful mod. Unfortunately, it has a couple of show-stopping bugs. Buttons for mines and force/lightsaber forms in the lower left are broken. The tool tips are seriously out of whack also, however that really isn't that big of a deal. Unfortunately, the mod is unusable without a fix for force/lightsaber forms.

I'll make sure to check that out Hyphen. I wasnt able to test it too extensively before release since college was coming up. I dont have a lot of time right now, but I'll get to it when I can. In the meantime if anyone thinks they can fix it feel free to re-release it wherever you want.

Awesome work again, Alien. Based on the few hours I put into this, I could tell that you must have busted your ass to make this happen.

[Alien]

Wow, thanks so much dude! I really appreciate it. I just haven't had the time to work on it lately haha, so this is perfect.

[HyphenC]

My pleasure. For anyone interested in what changed, I posted the steps here:

Not sure if anyone else has this issue but I can't set my in game screen res to be 1280x960

[InidraN]

Nice , thank you !!

Hey. I'm not into modding, but I followed the instructions (added 3 '.gui' files into the Override folder), but I haven't noticed any in-game changes.

• Tried to change in-game resolutions - no 1920x1080 graphics change option was present.
  
• Tried to change the resolution in the 'swkotor2.ini' file, but that simply resulted in a reset of the resolution to 800x600.

Would appreciate any further guidance!
