I have the same problem as below.

Sorry to bother you, but I face some problems when installing. I got Gimp 2.10.38 and unzipped the mod into the scale_ui directory folder in the mod file. Then I click the install_scale_ui_mod.bat, something appears but disappears immediately. Are there any other requirements such as file location, or I did something wrong in the process?

Hi. I'm a little confused with this. What do I actually do with Gimp ? I have Gimp 2.10.34 installed and the mods extracted to the scale_ui directory folder. When I click install_scale_ui_mod a windows command prompt screen comes up and asks me to input some info, which I did. Do I keep waiting, or do I have to run something through Gimp?

ALso i typed game version 3.3.5.1 after "creating mod file" and than no progress displayed. just cmd tab. Size of 1035 dolder in mod directory - 1.81 gb and it not going bigger

is it works for HIP?

Anyway to get this to work with Arch Linux?

This was my bad. Font mods can have strange effects in combination with this mod. If fonts are to small in size they will make the outliner collapse and icons start to overlap text labels.

Ignore store_filler.dds. Could you screenshot the outliner.

With CK2 3.3.4. What is up with the outliner? Demesne province icons are huge and covering the province names. The outliner titlebar icons of the outliner has three very large icons as well.
In the log I find no trouble with the outliner_*.dds files but find
Trouble files:
G:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Crusader Kings II/gfx/interface/store_filler.dds
This file is missing in
C:\Users\Jimstein\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\mod\scale_ui_1450p\gfx\interface
The file is in
G:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Crusader Kings II\gfx\interface
No preview on it and cannot open it.

Make sure to delete %Appdata%\GIMP before you install some other version of Gimp. version 2.10.10 is not giving any error messages after doing that.

Hello everyone! I was wondering if you could help me out here - I downloaded gimp 2.10.10 as suggested and I am having some issues with the plug-in. Specifically, I'm getting error codes that look like this when I run the .bat file;

Gimp-Config-Message: 15:00:10.639: Error while parsing 'C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\gimprc' in line 10: unexpected number '1615086417', expected string constant - fatal parse error

GIMP-Error: Error while parsing 'C:\Users\mattf\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\templaterc' in line 9: unexpected number '300', expected number (float) - fatal parse error

I have also switched to version 3.2.1 to get support and compatibility for this mod. Could someone help me with this issue? Thanks :)

Okay I ended up just going to gimp 2.10.10 since I was having issues with the third party dds plugin on 2.10.22 and am not having those issues now

I get this issue alot and I have the third party DDS exe in plugins and all and am on the latest version of Gimp, and if I don't do the third party dds.exe then I get alot of Unexpected EOF and all I dunno what to do so any help please?

Removing duplicate PDB procedure 'file-dds-load' registered by 'C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\file-dds\file-dds.exe'

It works! Thanks for your contribution!

It still be

for half an hour. Is there anything wrong? Or should I still wait?

@Tshcktall
Fair enough. I did not read that.
Yet.
The instruction set needs to be revised to point this out.

Are

GIMP-Error: Calling error for procedure 'file-tga-save':

Something to be concerned about? I installed Gimp 2 and the DDS plugin.

You need the gimp dds plugin anyway. I said this 5 posts below this. And goondo gave an answer to that exact question you asked.

Alright.
I only followed your instructions to the letter.

"Install gimp 2 ( https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ )
- For gimp older than 2.10.10, Install gimp-dds plugin ( https://code.google.com/archive/p/gimp-dds/downloads"

I downloaded 2.10.22
So I assumed that I did not need to install the other.
Is there something in Gimp that I need to do before running the bat file?

You need to install the third party dds plugin.

Took two hours to complete. Completely effed up the UI.

During the file conversion I kept seeing warnings.
Like...
DDS image-Warning: Warning: DDSD_Pitch is not set!

DDS image_Warning: Unexpected EOF.

Yes, installing the 3rd party DDS plugin is a must for the latest gimp. Seems like the have broken something with their dds plugin.

I've had the same errors like Frankybanane. Even with the newest Gimp version. I had to install the dds plugin in order to fix it. Not sure yet, if it's working.


The .bat is still installing. It seems to be doing it's job so far.
The debug.log before i had the dds plugin just said: Load dds file = focus_business.dds
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "rescale_gfx.py", line 63, in rescale_dds_wrapper
rescale_dds(filename, INPUT_DIR, OUTPUT_DIR)
File "rescale_gfx.py", line 49, in rescale_dds
dds_image = pdb.file_dds_load(input_file, filename, 0, 0)
RuntimeError: Ausführungsfehler.

But now it just says: Load dds file = focus_business.dds

Does the installer continue? If so let it be. It goes on for a really long time. If not check the debug.log file in the scale_ui directory in your mod folder for ck2.

HI Goondo,

Thanks for you quick answer.

Steam and Gimp were not installed in the default folder. I reinstalled them in default folders, and now the .bat opens, and I can select the options and launch the installation.

But as soon as it begins, there is an error message :

"Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
Image DDS-Avertissement: Warning: DDSD_PITCH is not set!
Image DDS-Avertissement: Unexpected EOF."

and then, I redundantly get this kind of message

"Image TarGA-Avertissement: Unknown image type 0 for 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam/steamapps/common\Crusader Kings II/gfx/ambitions/focus_seduction.dds'
Image DDS-Avertissement: Warning: DDSD_PITCH is not set!
Image DDS-Avertissement: Unexpected EOF."

I'm a bit lost...

Frankybanane, Could you run the install_scale_ui_mod.bat in a command window. Maybe you will get more info by running it that way. Otherwise, Could you tell me where gimp is installed on your system.

Hi, I followed all the instructions, but when I doubleclik on install_scale_ui_mod.bat, nothing happens. Any idea ? Thanks

It finished and now seems to work. Got a few errors but seems to be okay. Thanks for developing and for help troubleshooting install. Will allow me to return to CK2!

The upscaling process takes a long time due to gimp dds plugin. Third party plugin mentioned above is faster.

I put in wrong directory reference (mod instead of game files). Now batch job running but it's been over an hour. Using Gimp 2.10

When I go to gimp.org the latest version is 2.10.20.

3.3.3

That is new. What version of gimp do you have?

A bunch of entries like this:
[1026/105619.898:ERROR:settings.cc(325)] Settings version is not 1
[1115/200048.058:ERROR:settings.cc(325)] Settings version is not 1
[1121/105515.017:ERROR:settings.cc(325)] Settings version is not 1

Find the debug.log for scale_ui mod. If you can post that for me to look at.

I had another installed but not enabled. I have a Scale_UI and Scale)_UI_1450 but just have 1450 enabled. Also my Steam folder is on a different drive (not C:) from GIMP so not sure if that matters.

@GoldenTalon, Do you have other mods enabled? Other ui mods will interfere with this mod.

Installed GIMP, extracted scale_ui into folder and ran batch job selecting 1450 height and 3.3 for version. Select scale_ui_1450 check box at startup.

Getting readable text but boxes don't scale so text is all over screen. What am I missing?

perfect, but batch process take 4hrs to complete.

Most likely normal due to character sheet.

This might be normal behavior; it's been a while since I've played. But event windows appeared off-center for all resolution scale packages (I tried 1450, 1086, 1035, 772 -- they all had shifted events). No other mods, in fact I just reinstalled CK2 to come back after finding your work on Clausewitz.

Could you post a screenshot?

Which *.gui controls the origo/center-point of Event and Accept/Decline popups, etc? They're off center (shifted to the right) and I wanted to center them via console reloads, then maybe alter your scripts and re-run everything.

No it takes a long time. Gimp dds plugin is slow. Just wait for the window to close.

its been about 30 minutes and the command window still hasn't closed... should I give up?

The fonts look FANTASTIC, but unfortunately I am getting this phantom ledger-like window every time I select a character, which is covering stats etc. There is no text and no way to close it, except to also close the character display. Anyone else encounter this? I put full details on paradoxplaza thread yesterday, incl screenshot and install log, but not sure if you go there anymore goondo https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/mod-scale_ui.1036395/page-5#post-26419291

Ignore messages and wait for the window to close on it own.

Ran the batch file (.bat) and have seen some errors, and the operation now appears to be hanging:
[code]
GEGL-Message: 15:41:06.689: Module 'C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gegl-0.4\exr-load.dll' load error: 'C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gegl-0.4\exr-load.dll': The specified module could not be found.

[/code]

I admit I'm not sure / haven't looked into adding GIMP plugins.

Wow, just wow. The process finished, with a few error messages (perhaps 8 or 9 or so) but I started up the game and everything seems to be just fine. Nice and crisp text. Reasonably sized UI. It's wonderful! Thank you so much.

I reckon we can't download the full pack (i.e. fully processed images) for copyright reasons? Otherwise I would very much prefer to endure a bigger download. The console threw quite a few errors which is making me nervous, though perhaps it's all good in the end. Either way, very cool mod. Can't wait to enjoy CK2 (and EU4!!) again, which sadly was really hard on my eyes since I got a 2k monitor! Thanks man!
