[Tool] Fonts Switcher

Grim Dawn Utilities and Resources
2

Update 1


Tweaked Fonts Switcher with a new look, much like the Loadscreen Switcher.


  • It now checks for default GD install paths and retrieves them from you if other than defaults.

  • It now has a default folder location where it performs all its operations:
    C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME HERE\Documents\My Games\_gdswitcher\fonts
    It will create the location on first launch. You will want to place all your fonts .zips here.

    This means that the tools executable can now be ran from anywhere you wish to place it. I also wanted this location for future tie-in/compatibility with my main GD Switcher tool… eventually.

  • Small buttons were added, one to the left and one to the right of the dropdown combo…

    1. Opens your GD installs resources folder, which contains the Fonts.arc file, at:
      Y:\our\Installation\Path\To\Grim Dawn\resources

    2. Opens the tools own operating location folder:
      C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME HERE\Documents\My Games\_gdswitcher\fonts

  • Added a big ol’ Choose Random button just in case you’re in the mood to mix it up a little and don’t care which font it chooses. The only one it won’t choose is the default_gd_font_bkp.zip which is created the first time you run the tool.

  • Speaking of the default_gd_font_bkp.zip, it’s worth mentioning that IF your current Fonts.arc happens to NOT be the true original Fonts.arc perhaps you should verify the game files so that the game replaces it with the original so the tool CAN make a ‘true’ backup of it. Jus’ saying.

  • That’s mostly it for now. Get it in the OP above.



Enjoy! :scorv:
