Taking a break from the game, this blog is currently on hiatus. 💤

SEA UI Modification & Font

The new SEA server was launched on Steam. The packaging of IPF files is slightly different in that previously one massive file (e.g. bgm.ipf) is separated into smaller pieces (e.g. bgm00001.ipf, bgm00002.ipf, etc.). This customization involves some basic UI changes.

💣 WARNING! Tamper with the game client at your own risks! If error occurs, you may have to completely reinstall the game client. Client modifications (however harmless) are generally frowned upon, so do not post this in the official forums.




PATCHER UI
The current game patcher seems to be warped in dimensions. The image is 606x505 pixels, but Steam actually forces it to become 755x675 pixels. I have resized the image so that it fits Steam's requirement. Simply download the image above, and replace background.jpg in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Granado Espada For SEA\release\res folder with it.


UI.IPF
This is a privately customized file meant for use by SEA game client (v28.36.84) only. It includes 5 modifications:
  • Inventory Windows: Reduced width from 359px to 259px. The end result is the same as Resize Inventory Windows patch, except it is meant for SEA client.
  • Monster Profile: Increased width from 185px to 270px (standard width used by other English servers). This is the window that appears when you use Alt + Right Click on a monster.
  • Family Profile: Added [Change] button to change family emblem. 
  • Single Roulette: Modified emblem URL to use the URL defined by client.xml file.
  • Bonus Roulette: Modified emblem URL to use the URL defined by client.xml file.
To use this customized file, download and extract sea-ui-font_v1.7z (14.7MB) from MEGA 🔗 under Misc folder. Close the game client if it is currently running, then simply copy ui.ipf into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Granado Espada For SEA\ge folder. No need to rename it or merge it with the other ui000xx.ipf files. To remove, simply delete the file.

Note: You still cannot upload emblems at the moment because the default site does not accept uploads. However, this can be changed to use your own image hosting site. More on this another day.




FONT.IPF
This is the font file used by SEA game client, and is included in the package for use by other region's game clients (e.g. USA, Europe). The font is Aria Unicode MS, which allows the client to display non-English characters (e.g. Chinese, Korean, Japanese).

To use this customized file, download and extract sea-ui-font_v1.7z (14.7MB) from MEGA 🔗 under Misc folder. Close the game client if it is currently running, then simply copy font.ipf into Granado Espada\ge folder. Backup original file, if desired.
