Hello Everyone,

A couple months ago I was playing some Toadstool Tour and really disliked how messy all the UI looked against how great all the models when rendered with higher internal resolutions and AA. So, I started replacing some textures with 4x ones handmade in Photoshop.

So, this is mostly a pack of text and simple UI shapes, but it definitely looks much better. I haven't worked on any in a while, so there are plenty of additional UI elements untouched.

I removed Mario and Toad from the HUD. If you dislike that, feel free to delete the ./GFT/ui/hud/mario/ and ./GFT/ui/hud/lie/ folders from the pack. Everything else is as faithful of a reproduction as I could manage.

Textures were only tested with the US version of the game. Hopefully it works with the EUR and JP region copies as well, but I have no idea.

Screenshots
All taken at 4x Internal Resolution, with 8x MSAA and 16x Anisotropic Filtering.

Interesting. I checked it with my PAL copy (spanish language, by the way), part of the textures worked, but other parts like the menu and leaderboard texts are still low res.

If I have some free time, I might try to collaborate with your pack with PAL replacements.

PS: Could you share the fonts you used for text textures? If the copyright of the font files is a problem, we can talk through pm about alternatives...

Boo's eyes in the character's selection are a bit low-res, I edited the two textures with an HD art:

Another suggestion: You could do a title screen closer to the original by using this HD image of Mario Golf Advance Tour logo, identical to Toadstool Tour except in the subtitle.

I would recommend to thicken borders in some texts, as thick as the original font scaled, to be more faithful to the original and gain contrast... but that's a personal preference.

I suck at photoshop, I can't remove the white background without leaving white dots around (low tolerance) or messing the border of the logo (with high tolerance), so I leave it to you.

PS: I should have started replacing fonts, like I promised... but it's harder than I expected, and it doesn't help the PopHappinessStd font is installed as "FOT-PopHappinessStd EB", forcing me to replace the font in every PSD... And I feel so lazy lately... so don't expect contributions soon.

Look great, could be nice if your work could be ported for the PAL version.
