alako Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 I found a plugin called obcn_12416.dll which is suppose to let oblivion to display Chinese characters, but it somehow change all my BT mod fonts size . Does anyone know if there is another plugin that won't mess up with your UI mod?
Mordyn Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Really interested in that too Is that an obse mod? And btw, I think it modifies the font (from a latin characters font to an utf16 font...?), not the font size.

Gigantic fronts appear in the inventory menu and stat menu =.=
Slammer64 Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Did they revert after you disabled it alako?
alako Posted September 20, 2011 Author Posted September 20, 2011 Did they revert after you disabled it alako? Yup' date=' it did. I just found out it also created a obcn.ini in my save folder. Seems like you can change the font size here. But I don't understand what's going on in the folder. Here is the obcn I play around with: [OBCN'] FontParam1_1=ºÚÌå,0,24,-1,24,34,700,0,0 FontParam1_2=ºÚÌå,0,24,-1,24,34,700,0,0 FontParam1_InterLinear=24 FontParam2_1=Á¥Êé,0,20,-2,13,34,400,0,0 FontParam2_2=Á¥Êé,0,20,-2,13,34,400,0,0 FontParam2_InterLinear=20 FontParam3_1=·½Õý×¼Ô²¼òÌå,0,22,-2,16,34,700,0,0 FontParam3_2=·½Õý×¼Ô²¼òÌå,0,22,-2,16,34,700,0,0 FontParam3_InterLinear=16 FontParam5_1=Á¥Êé,0,24,-1,26,34,400,0,0 FontParam5_2=Á¥Êé,0,24,-2,26,34,400,0,0 FontParam5_InterLinear=24 UserInterface=2 Language=0 Config=58 Console=57 IME=44
Slammer64 Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 May have to run that through a Chinese translator alako. That sounds like where the font sizes may be controlled.

Can you post that mod?
danshyu Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Well this is what I did that happend to make this work. I swaped the font with a custom smaller font in tredtional Chinese. You should be able to use actual simplified Chinese fonts, just remember to edit your obcn.ini accordingly. Install the font (.ttf) by draging it into your Control Panel>Fonts list. Place the obcn.ini to your My Documents\My Games\Oblivion\ folder And finally place obcn_12416.dll to your Oblivion\Data\OBSE\Plugins\ folder. I didn't tweak the ini settings to the perfect exact, but at the moment the settings seem to work well enough. Also, this won't work if you have the Japanese plugin obja_12416.dll in your plugins folder. As Oblivion doesn't support unicode. So you can only have one language plugin. If you have both, the Japanese plugin will take priority, and any Chinese character will appear gibberish. Be great if anybody can figure out a way for Oblivion to handle both at same time, though.
ReMeDy Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 By the way, it's worth noting I've had multiple complications using Japanese/Chinese writing systems implemented into Oblivion while using interface mods, like Darnified. I think BTMod did work for me, but be warned if you go with Darnified, you may risk your game not booting up. At the end of the day, I just don't play with Japanese/Chinese characters. Yes, I get ascii random jibberish crap, but it's not like I can read Japanese very well anyways (certainly not Chinese), so why use it? I'll take Darnified any day over something I can't read.
