DarNified UI: No Fonts/Ini?

[KefkeWren]

Today I started switching from PipWareUI to DarNified UI, for compatibility with some other UI mods I want to use. Things were going smoothly, until I tried messing with a mod that added alternate fonts. After changing the Ini settings a few times, trying to customize the optional fonts to my liking, I was noticing that I just couldn't make any changes I liked. It was not until after I removed the extra font pack that I realized that Fallout had apparently stopped reading the Ini altogether, and was just going based off of the last settings it remembered - at which point it was still using the fonts I had uninstalled, so that going into the game now, all the text is invisible. How do I get it to read the Ini again, and go back to the default DarN fonts (which I have already set it back to)?

 

EDIT - For reasons unknown to me, after going to the store and coming back, the issue has resolved itself?

When the game executable is launched, it overwrites the "Fallout.ini" file with the "Fallout_default.ini" file. So, if you added the DarnUI or alternate fonts to "default" they got propagated again if you only removed them from the "Fallout.ini" file. When Steam verified files, it always replaces the "default" INI file because that always gets updated with your specific hardware information when you launch the game and thus is always "corrupted" compared to the server copy.

 

You also should check the "FalloutPrefs.ini" file in your "C:\Users\<youraccountname>\Documents\My Games\FNV" folder. There is font information there as well. When you want to change fonts you should alter all three of those INI files to ensure it "sticks" or is fully removed.

 

When in doubt, delete or rename all three, then "verify files" and when you launch the game again it will rebuild them with vanilla settings.

Actually, I believe I was editing the "_default" file, and not the other, because I only saw one. Either way, as I said, it worked the first few times I launched the game, then it stopped working, then went back to reading my changes again. So, I'm guessing that what must have happened is that it doesn't always copy over, just usually, and I just happened to get a period where it wasn't while I was testing.
