I play AOE2 on voobly using HD compatibility patch from steam install.
I have a 2560x1400 monitor and the resolution works perfectly, I really appreciate the game in voobly more than in steam.
I have one small issue with the tech tree, I was wondering if anyone knew what I could do.
Basically the tech tree font is very small and it is hard for me to read it on voobly.
On steam for some reason it is much more zoomed in. I would like to do the same on voobly.
I'm attaching the screenshot from the tech tree in both voobly and steam to make it easier to understand.
How could I increase the font in voobly please ? Even just make it bold would help.
I'm thinking I could make some sort of visual mod if needed but I don't know how to get started.
I did found this tutorial https://www.voobly.com/pages/view/gamemods#Creating_your_own_mods but I was not able to understand how to do what I'm trying to do.
Thank you,
Ben
Have you tried one of these for it?
https://www.voobly.com/gamemods/mod/604/Text---bigger-messages
https://www.voobly.com/gamemods/mod/652/Text---bold-stats
https://www.voobly.com/gamemods/mod/659/Text---streamer-edition
However it did not change the font in the tech tree.
How did you do to create this mod please ?
Thanks,
Ben
From what I understand if I create a folder like this C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Age2HD\Voobly Mods\AOC\Local Mods\Text - Bigger Tech Tree UI
with a version.ini file and then the same file with the same path inside it (\resources\_common\dat\UiColors.txt), then I can override it to change how the player colors are displayed.
Now this is not exactly what I wan't to do. I would like to change the tech tree ui font size.
I'm assuming there should be another file similar to this one who defines it.
Where can I find this file please ?
Also what are all this .dat files and how to read them please ?
If I open it with notepad++ I just see a bunch of non readable symbols.
I found also this folder, maybe that should be where the tech tree ui font size is defined: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Age2HD\resources\_common\fonts
but all files are .ttf and I don't know how to read them.
Thanks for any information you can provide.

UiColors.txt is not used by aoe cd version, so can't help with those.
version.ini is used by Voobly to compare website version with the one what users have in their directory to keep everything update if the author upload new version.
.dat files can be opened by Advanced Genie editor 3 (AGE3), but you not need this now.
What you are looking for is in the language files, which can be used as language.ini and possible one of these lines edit the tech tree font size. You have to check them one by one to find it which is related to the tech tree. There is a huge chance if you modify one it may affect other lines too:
First number is the text line, second is either the font size or the type or bold/italic.
Example, in the text - bold stats mod I edited the 132 line to 11 from 8 and 133 from N (normal) to B (bold) and the .ini files looks like as:
So basically I searched 'language.ini' in my AOE install folder and the only files matching are from Mods.
I couldn't find one like the one you are showing in the first code block.
So what I did is that I modified the file from your mod (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Age2HD\Voobly Mods\AOC\Local Mods\Text - bigger messages\language.ini).
Here I pasted the entire code you showed and modify all the size to 50.
Then I ran the game as single player making sure the mod was activated, but I saw no change in the tech tree font.
But since I did not see any modification in any text size I'm wondering if what I did was actually considered by the game.
Size 50 maybe too big, but as you have aoeHD that also can have effect on this. Try with smaller amount and same as what my mod do, just for test. It can happen tech tree font size cannot be changed.
