If it was f***ed up in the original, it stays that way.Īlso be aware, that this mod won't work with the single player of the game without increasing the zone megs value, given as a parameter during start. Only use it on resolutions around HD and higher.Īlso, existing problems with the interface (some LCARS elements clearly were no aligned properly by Raven Software, some button labels vertical alignment differs from the rest) were not fixed. When EF is scaling them down a lot, they look worse than the original ones. This mod explicitly aims at high resolutions, like HD or UHD. Caveatsįirst, here's a warning: If you are using EF on lower resolutions, like 1024 x 768, do not bother to use this mod! Especially the level shots will look even worse than the original. If you are in doubt, have a look at this:.

Just place the pk3 somewhere, your EF version will be looking for pk3s. What does it Need?Īctually, nothing special. And the medals were upscaled with an AI website. The level shots were done by the build-in screenshot functionality. I tried to make them as close to the original result in lower resolutions as I can. The LCARS elements were mostly redone using Inkscape. You can't help but think: »Man, that could look better!« At least I felt that way. Especially the big numbers indicating your health, ammo and shields give the impression of an old game, even when the rest looks OK-ish. The textures improve more and more (not in close up but distant viewed) but the rest seems to get shittier and shittier. This impression gets even more intense when looking at level shots on 4K. Already on 1600x1200 or HD resolution you can clearly see that. Even on not so high resolutions it is obvious, that numbers, letters and LCARS elements were rendered for a very low resolution.

However, one thing always sucked: The resolution of the HUD and menu interface. Actually the look of the game in general is still quite decent and with certain settings still has some surprises in store on higher resolutions (especially detailed textures look great from a distance!). I've been playing EF for round about 20 years now and lately I was playing this on a 4 K screen. Also some elements from the HUD were replaced with more detailed versions, as well as awarded medal icons and level shots of the maps released by Raven Software. MEGA: Make EF great again! So I did: This mod replaces many of the LCARS elements (including characters) with a higher resolution. With damn Covid19 giving me more time on my hands than usual, I figured, why not doing it? Give the old lady some more love. This is in principle a (U)HD mod for the Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force game interface. EF 1 HD interface mod version 1.0 () by 7Saturn What is it?
