For a better technical explanation of what this does;
Basically it replaces two vanilla gfx files that are used to make the focus tree interface visible, tiled_bg.dds and tiled_focus_bg.dds.
tiled_bg is the background image. It’s normally textured, meaning you can’t stitch pieces of it together otherwise it looks stupid, unless you make some incredibly strategic cropping.
tiled_focus_bg is the weird wing/circle design that’s on the corners of the screenshot. Naturally, this also gets in the way of stitching, unless you do some pretty strategic cropping.
An example of what this mod does is here https://i.imgur.com/zCDW2CN.jpg. Imgur’s nuked the quality to ♥♥♥♥, but nevertheless the result is clear. The entire UK vanilla focus tree, all stitched together nicely and neatly.
Tech ♥♥♥♥:
Right now tiled_focus_bg’s center is set set to #21201D, but for some reason this shows up in-game as #1D2021.
No idea why, could also just be my monitor.
If you want to change it, using the focus tree icon labels and getting the average hex color from there is probably your best bet, but it’ll most likely take a lot of work checking in-game to see if the colors are actually accurate or not.
