📋 About This Mod

Retro-Deframed is a custom touchscreen layout for Vwing's DFU android port, made with love to imitate Retro-Frame and ease up gamepad usage with on-screen additions.

Retro-DeFramed is a custom layout for Vwing's android Daggerfall Unity. It is supposed to imitate Retro-Frame, which is currently not ported (sad!). Contains from-the-scratch pre-binded button textures and some fancy decorations:

- Travel map

- Spell Book

- Magic Items

- Transport Mode

- Switch Hands

- Interact Modes

- Light (For Handled Torches)

It also has some additional "hidden" features:

- Top right decoration calls up Menu

- Top left decoration calls up Console

- Compass has active tap zone to call up Automap

- Bottom left decoration calls up DaggerStats menu (F15)

- Bottom right decoration calls up TravelOptions "follow road" map (K)

- Health/Magic/Stamina bars have active tap zone to call up Status message

- 4 disabled-by-default additional buttons (A/B/X/Y) for more binds

Disclaimer: With how DFU scales up screen by phone diagonals and ingame set resolution you might have some fixable and non-fixable issues, such as:

- UI buttons look blurry on low game resolution

- UI buttons might have texture wrap-around on edges on high game resolution

- UI buttons might be misaligned/too small/too big and will require manual movement

- Some UI buttons might require re-bind in case of different user controls

Layout was made and tested on Samsung A32 with game resolution set to 1333×600, with results on screenshot.

Installation:

Import ZIP archive in touchscreen configuration utility during the game and select new "Retro-Deframed" layout.

Disable "Place HUD items on top of screen" in Interface options as TravelOptions overlays over it and touch areas are placed on bottom by default.

If HUD items appear back on top on each launch, go into Android>data>net.dfworkshop.dfu>files>DaggerfallUnity and edit settings.cfg, option in . Save file and delete settings.bak.
