This module is for the game Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.
I decided to code this external module to avoid changing the original libraries that the Unofficial Patch includes.

This module patches some visual aspects when using Widescreen resolutions. For better usage, I recommend using the textures included.
The textures of this module are done specifically for 16:9 resolutions (and can be a bit compatible with 16:10), if you use it for 3:2, 25:16, 21:9, there could appear incorrect graphical proportions. Please, don't use this textures for 4:3 resolution, the default textures work well with that aspect ratio.
The default textures of the game are prepared for 4:3 resolutions.
The changes added to this module are:
- a. Skip Intro checkbox in Character Creation is positioned correctly for Widescreen resolutions.
a1. Added checkbox DeltaXPos and CheckboxWidth values for wider texts - b. 'Hotkeys' word in Hotkeys Window is centered for Widescreens resolutions.
- c. Numbers in Hotkeys Window are REMOVED (only present left numbers) and added in texture (only WideScreen 16:9 resolutions).
I include a texture with drawn numbers. - d. Horizontal Dividers in Hotkeys Window are REMOVED (all Widescreen resolutions)
- e. Dialog Box width fixed to be wider and show the lines INSIDE the box.
- f. Fix for "Dividers" \material\interface\charactermaintenance\cm_divider" to align with windows
- g. Fix for "Titles" of the windows (Options/Load/Save...) for some small resolutions
- h. Set size of row manually for loading/saving tables
- i. Fix for inventory buttons shadow outside boundaries
- j. Fix loading bar aspect ratio for some 16:9 and 16:10 widescreens
You will need to install the module (.vtm and .ini) in \Bin\loader folder in the path where Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines has been installed.
If you want to use the textures adapted to the 16:9 aspect ratio, you will need to uncompress the materials folder inside the path where Vampire the Masquerade UP 11.5 has been installed in case you want to use them.
IMPORTANT: YOU WILL OVERWRITE ANY OTHER TEXTURE THAT EXISTS IN THOSE FOLDERS
You can disable the numbers (keyword enabled=1) or enable them (keyword enabled=0) the Numbers in Hotkey features modifying the .ini file. You must use enable=0 if using 4:3 resolutions.
Unofficial Patch 11.5 by Wesp5 required.
