Description:

Scales EU4 ui for high resolution monitors. Users with 1440p/2160p monitors will have a scaled ui that looks exactly like 1080p respectively. No more blurry font due to downscaling resolution. Play at your native resolution!

Note: One negative of mod is no achievements. Achievements can be reenabled by moving the map directory out of the mod directory structure. Of course doing so will break the minimap.

Note: If you have the mod already please delete the old scale_ui directory, or rename it. Prior to deleting make sure that to note down any custom directory settings.

Requirements:
- Windows, Linux
- 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 )
- Under 1.0 gigs of space is needed for the mod.


1) Insure software requirements are installed on your system.
2) Find the mod in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\236850\1095412287 directory. Copy 1095412287 directory into Europa Universalis IV mod directory. Usually, found in "C:\Users\your_username\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\mod".
3) Double-click on "install_scale_ui_mod.bat" (On linux run "python install_scale_ui_mod.py"). Follow the instructions, and provide information as needed by the installer.

1440 - A 1080p look for 1440p native users, support via interface patches
2160 - A 1080p look for 2160p native users, support via interface patches

4) Wait for execution to finish (10-20 mintues). The window should close on it own when done. Check debug.log found in the scale_ui directory.
5) If EU4 launcher is open please close and reopen in order to update mod list. Please select scale_ui_XXXXp where XXXX should be the resolution height selected during install. Note: That "scale_ui" should not be enabled at all.
6) Play game at your native resolutions.

Enjoy!

I cant find C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\236850\1095412287 directory

I needed to install gimp-dds plugin despite having the latest version of GIMP, but other than that it worked perfectly.

Thanks for all the work you did making this mod.

Did not work
hottt3 15 Oct, 2024 @ 3:21am 
I've got debug.log:

INFO:install_scale_ui_mod.py:USER_HOME = G:\Hottt Documents\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\mod\1095412287
INFO:install_scale_ui_mod.py:PROGRAM_BASE = C:\Program Files (x86)
ERROR:install_scale_ui_mod.py:Could not find GIMP dds plugin at ( C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/dds.exe )

Yet I've installed the latest version of GIMP (v2.10.38) in the default location.
Could someone help please?

i got the mod to successfully install but it doesnt work whatsoever, tried downpatching as well but dont see 1440p version in modlist :/

Is this not working for anyone else, at all? The cmd prompt opens for a second and then nothing, no matter what I try.

There is a tool called '2to3' which supposedly converts Python2 scripts to Python3; I used this tool, but there are still many problems. As Python2 is deprecated and most modern Linux systems will come with Python3 (and probably don't even have a Python2 option), you might want to remove "Linux" as being compatible with this mod. Anyone running a modern Linux distro will have lots of problems.

I fixed the tab issue, now a whole bunch of other code errors:

$ python3 ./install_scale_ui_mod.py
/home/merc/.local/share/Paradox Interactive/Europa Universalis IV/mod/1095412287/./install_scale_ui_mod.py:39: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\P'
GIMP_HOME = os.path.normpath("C:\Program Files\GIMP 2")
File "/home/merc/.local/share/Paradox Interactive/Europa Universalis IV/mod/1095412287/./install_scale_ui_mod.py", line 49
print "Could not find GIMP at ( %s )" % GIMP_HOME
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(...)?

Can you give an update so this works with modern systens / Python3? Thank you.

I'm running Python3 on the latest Ubuntu LTS...

$ python3 ./install_scale_ui_mod.py
File "/home/merc/.local/share/Paradox Interactive/Europa Universalis IV/mod/1095412287/./install_scale_ui_mod.py", line 32
PROGRAM_BASE = os.path.join(PROGRAM_BASE, ".local/share")
TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

Python3 doesn't like your code, python as a language is very sensitive to tabs. Any suggestions here?
