predicted questions that i might get:
Q: I thought UNI2 already supports 1440p?
A: Actually, all of the resolution options in UNI2 do absolutely nothing except change window size when in windowed mode. Regardless of which resolution option you choose, the game will always have an internal render resolution of 720p, resulting in very blurry graphics.
DGVoodoo can be used to actually increase internal resolution, but this creates an issue as all of the assets in the game only have textures designed for 720p. This mod does more than that, by recreating many of the UI and HUD to have proper 1440p resolution.
Q: Why is this taking so long?
A: The game only expects 720p resolution assets, so many textures in the game are actually hardcoded to only take from what it expects from a 720p texture. So if you change a texture from 256x256px to 512x512px, it only reads from the first 256x256px of the texture, resulting in extremely glitchy looking UI.
The only workaround to many of these is to RECREATE EVERY ELEMENT OF THE HUD using the in-game object system. So things like the GRD bar, character UI portraits, etc. Are actually the same type of object as Hyde's Orbiter! As you may expect, recreating the behaviors of UI is tricky.
Q: Why are the fonts still pixelated?
A: The French Bread engine is cursed. Fonts and many other textures (such as the text on the main menu) cannot be upscaled.
Q: Why are there two Akatsukis?
A: Leftover from my EN-Eins mod. Will not be a part of Vanilla+
Q: Will this be netplay compatible? Could this mod get me banned?
A: Yes! There'd be no point to this mod if it wasn't. Also French Bread isn't a rich enough studio to afford moderation, and this mod is designed to be undetectable. Players without the mod can still play with players that have Vanilla+ as well.
