ZRP Mod Inventory Icons Are Distorted

[DennyFrontier]

I just installed the ZRP mod and the issue I am having is the items in my inventory are all stretched and distorted. I was wondering if there is a fix for this?

I've tried using different settings within the mod that pertain to UI and Inventory but sadly none of them fix my issue.

It seems like you are forced to use the widescreen patch as it is integrated in the mod itself, unfortunately. So since this is the case I can't figure out a work around

After reading the last paragraph, I can't understand what's the problem.

What I can say for sure:
Of course, if you have a widescreen monitor, you have to use widescreen fix. On the contrary, if you don't have a widescreen monitor, then installed fix will only screw the UI, so the fix should be uninstalled for a non-widescreen monitors.
There's no escape from that, because the engine of this game only support only one aspect ratio. This problem was fixed in Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat and support for 16:9 ratio was added... But not in the Shadow of Chernobyl.

I dont know, I think im confused too. Before the mod I ran the game at 2560x1440 and everything was fine. Then I installed the mod and my inventory items get crazy stretched out and wonky.

In the mod configurator itself, there is an option specifically for widescreen UI. You have two options, you can either enable hud with widescreen, or without widescreen. But if you hover the mouse over either option it says that that widescreen support is automatic. So if you are forced to use it, why give you the option? Because neither option fixes my issue. And I dont understand

I just asked NatVac about it and here's his answer:

I can't think of anything that can be "distorted", so he probably means just the medkits, which are shown in an off-angle view which rotates them a bit to make the number at the upper right easier to read. What he can do is simply rename or delete this file:

<install_folder>\gamedata\textures\ui\ui_icon_equipment.dds

The widescreen changes are controlled by <install_folder>\gamedata\config\ui\inventory_new_16.xml. The fixes there include Raw's Widescreen Fix to allow selecting items in the bottom rows and a swap of the shock and impact icons in item descriptions, but it does change the grid size a bit. Deleting or renaming this file will restore the vanilla widescreen

He also said that he will write here later.

Thanks I really owe you one. This fix worked like a charm, fixed my icons and even restored the original size of the widescreen. Its perfect
