Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II High Resolution UI Project
License :
CC-BY-NC-SA
Project Goal :
- Recreate the look of the original UI but in High Resolution
Project Details :
- It is not an upscale.
- Made in Adobe Illustrator and Inkscape (vector graphics software) which means "master-files" are resolution-independent.
Note :
- Replacing all occurences of a certain texture is possible on Dolphin development build 5.0-14445 and higher but PSO Ep. I&II is a SEGA-made game so of course there are quirks which makes replacing the main menu font buggy.
Changelog :
HUD
- Made HP/TP Bar ends slightly rounder
- Made radial menu outer stroke bigger (Finally !)
- Slightly Tweaked radial menu "Chat" icon size and position.
- Player Panel Holder outer stroke thickness has been decreased by 0.5 unit.
- Actions Palette Holder outer stroke thickness has been increased by 0.5 unit, making it the same thickness as Player Panel Holder stroke.
- Darkened Player Panel shading slightly, especially near the outer stroke.
- Stretched Photon Blast Gauge outer stroke vertically to almost perfectly match the original.
- Small "L & R" icons have been made more faithful.
- Fixed very small issue with "Denied" icon. Two corners were not rounded when they should have been.
Inventory Icons
- Meseta Icon has been tweaked and can now considered Faithful
- Mate Icon has been reworked and now looks much closer to the original
- Mag Icon has seen shape improvements and can now be considered Faithful
Palette
- Made much-needed accurateness improvements and fixes to 'Damage Trap' icon.
Spell Palette
- Made changes to "Grants" icon according to official art work. Bigger light ray are pointy at the tip. Smaller light rays are pointy at both ends.
- "Leilla" and "Golla" photon blast icons have been improved slightly.
- "Zonde" and "Gizonde" icons can now be considered "faithful" thanks to improvements made after looking at official art.
Inventory Icons
- Star-like icon on yellow background has been redrawn
Item 'Rarity' Stars
- Tweaked to more closely resemble the symbol-chat star icon shape
Palette / Spell Palette
- Fixed several vector paths some of which were visible
Red/Green/Yellow/Blue Gems (HUD)
- Tweaked / Accentuated glare
- Updated HD Start Menu Text (looks more faithful)

In response to a shockingly awful interaction with a person on discord I've temporarily made the HD UI repository private.

Thanks for moving the post/thread and for the comment !
It means a lot, I've poured countless hours into making vector art related to PSO, Section ID icons, (not-yet released) fonts, ingame textures... but this has been, and still is my biggest undertaking.
Two years ago Vector Art / Digitial Art were a mystery to me and my paper-and-pencil drawing skills were only better-than-basic.
I bought PSO Ep. I&II years ago, and I've been meaning to play it in Dolphin since forever. Maybe now would be a good time with these HD UI textures out. I used to dabble in vector art myself back in college (editing SVG by hand and in Inkscape). Keep up the good work here, looking forward to seeing what comes next
Ahh, good memories. I never tried the modern private servers on PC though.
Hello, I've released an updated High Resolution HUD as well as the new work-in-progress HUD Font.
"Compatibility" packs which ensure compatibility with older graphics cards are now available as alternative downloads.
HUD v0.4.3 Beta
HUD Font v0.1.1 Beta
your vector graphics are looking absolutely amazing... this gives me major nostalgia for my PSO days
between this pack and the impending NA release of PSO2, it's a good time to be a PSO fan
