[Guide] Adding Silent Hill 2 to Steam, and Making It Look Nice #222
Comments
Technical AddendumAll images are in are JPEGs or PNGs. Each types follows a standard format:
The grid images can also be in APNG format, which means you can make some pretty impressive covers like this. So, I propose creating custom images for the enhanced edition project and put them in a zip file. This would cut out all the downloading steps and make it simpler for users. Bonus points if you can include a nice APNG cover. I'd think James on the handrail at the start would be a good pick. |
Edit: Fixed with newest update |
Try running steam as admin |
This might have something to do with Xidi. See here:
If you upgraded/installed Xidi, can you temporarily remove |
As of the newest update it works again, the spam click of the Switch Pro-Controller is gone so long as you run it via Steam. Running the application regularly will still result in the old issue. |

This mod has any conflict with the director's cut version of the game? It doesnt say anything about that in the site or even here on github. |
While your question is off-topic to this thread, the install instructions on the website say Director's Cut is compatible. |

cover

andlogo
to make the next section easier.Step 4
Manage -> Set Custom Artwork
. Select the cover image in the file picker.Set Custom Background
. Select the background image in the file picker.Set Custom Logo
. Select the logo image in the file picker. Feel free to move it anywhere you want, I've scaled it down a touch and put it in the bottom left corner.That's it! Everything should look nice now.
