[MOD] UI Patch Collection + UI Removal Tool + Font Patch & Font + Others

[Zeikar]

First of all let me give a very special thanks to Nyxo who made most, if not all, of this possible with his CT_Explore tool. He also made a defilter patcher for those who want that option.

Here is a link to his post: http://steamcommunity.com/app/613830/discussions/0/1696040635910037783/

Defilter tool

http://www.rivernyxx.com/projects/download.php?pn=CT_Defilter

To use the UI mods you will need CT_Explore 1.4

http://www.rivernyxx.com/projects/download.php?pn=CT_Explore

I have updated these UI mods to remove more buttons and to support all languages!

Update 4/4/2018

DS Cursor Color Updated! Now Brighter!
UI Removal Tool Updated to include patch for public beta version of the game.

Update 4/2/2018

IMPORTANT INFO: If you start a New Game with Mods and get a Black Screen, please start your New Game in Wait Mode, you can switch back to Active if you like after creating the file! This glitch doesn't affect New Game+ !!! More info: it seems that using mouse to start game even Active mode may avoid black screen and also the mods on the remurin site are outdated.

Update 3/31/2018

Added Optional DS Color Highlight Cursor patches. (Looks better with ReShade options Sepia & Clarity, see my ReShade thread link at the bottom of this post!)

Update 3/23/2018

I have corrected another flaw in the UI mods, this time via optional patches that restore/remove the colored UI buttons. It has come to my attention that the colored buttons are needed for a puzzle in the 2300 A.D. Dimensional Vortex.
Please apply AFTER the UI mod you have used.

Zeikar's Custom Mod

Here is my custom mod using Chrono name patch, Translation Fix Patch, Medium Gray UI Mod, and a few changes to the UI.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XHE67KR270i2uA1Eoj60SQMRZRGrI7KC/view?usp=sharing
Recommended: Use with Timed Dialog Fix (possibly to be merged in a future update)
Use with Zeikar's Custom Mod DS Cursor Color Addon. :)
I also use this with the defilter, UI remover, and font patcher with my Chrono font installed and ReShade Settings Redone (ReShade Settings Redone thread link at bottom of post)
These Recommendations also apply to the ATB Bars version.

If you cant manage to remove the phone UI and replace it then I mean you could just change the color from blocky ugly grey to the transparant black from the battle UI. Then add the original font from the snes or ds ver.

Haven't been able to locate the font or where those black boxes are coming from.

[Marcelo Sampaio]

The UI in this port doesn't bother me all that much.

Such MOD would be useful for me in the PC version of FF9, though. MAN, the battle menu there is humongous!

I have a feeling that, even if you remove the icons, they'll still function as those buttons. I'll take a look around for the shadow boxes and see if they could be removed.

Amazing work from Zeikar, removing the boxes will be amazing!
What about the hp characters bars in battles? any way to remove it?

I could do a test but it seems that the HP and ATB bars use the same sprites. Removing that would make both dissappear and then you won't know who's going and when. At least, that's what I'm thinking before testing.

Have you figured anything out on this?

Let us collaborate sir

After removing the frames and text on the buttons for Menu and Map, I'd bet the remaining boxes could be removed as well if we knew where the game was setting the transparency for them. It'd likely be as simple as tweakng a text file, maybe. But as Azure said earlier, all of these buttons will still function as on-screen buttons. They just won't be visible anymore, which really is fine, imo.

I'm about to update the patch in the main post, the link will be the same.

Cool, what else have you been able to remove or fix?
