Description

*Updated 10/10/25 to include the HUD Objective Panel to set default color to teal instead of black. Unknown what effects this will have with other mods that may be using this blueprint. (changed Aim Aissist Debug visibility to collapsed).

Introducing "Steam Deck HUD Scale" from Meh Technology - the must-have mod for Battletech enthusiasts playing on the Steam Deck. With Steam Deck HUD Scale, you can scale up your HUD for better readability, no matter where you play.

Specifically designed for the Steam Deck, Steam Deck HUD Scale ensures that your HUD remains clear and legible on the device's small screen. But that's not all - Steam Deck HUD Scale works great on PC too, making it the ultimate solution for Battletech gamers who want a personalized, immersive gaming experience.

Upgrade to Steam Deck HUD Scale today and take your Battletech gaming experience to the next level. With Steam Deck HUD Scale, you can enjoy a comfortable and immersive gameplay experience, without having to strain your eyes to read small text. Whether you're playing on the Steam Deck or PC, Steam Deck HUD Scale ensures that your HUD remains clear and legible, so you can focus on what matters most - the action-packed gameplay.

Larger HUD elements intended for Steam Deck but also works quite well on desktop.

Compatible with all YAML mods i'm aware of.
Compatible with custom reticle mods that only change out the texture. (All of mine work, I can't readily confirm any others currently). The one shown is "Minimalist Chevron V2"

Changes the size of:
*Weapon list (1.4x)
*Target paper doll (1.2x)
*Own paper doll (1.2x and moved in from left)
*Lance Status Widget (1.4x)
*Objective panel (1.2x)

***I wouldn't use this with my "LargerLanceText" mod or my "LargerWeaponText" mod. This just changes the scale of these elements where those mods change the format of the text. THIS WILL NOT SHOW CONFLICT IN THE MOD SELECTOR FOR THESE TWO MODS!
"LargerWeaponText" was not compatible with YAML Weapon so I made this one that would work with the YAML mods.

I wouldn't want you to bork your install again but i'd be interested if it did it a second time. From my understanding how mods are applied it doesn't touch the game files, it only gets applied on top of the games files upon loading, in order of load order.

No idea, then. But it was working fine before I added this mod, then after I added it, it kept crashing and I had to do a complete reinstall of the game.

Shouldn't be possible to break an entire install with workshop mods. But i just ran it again on my Steam Deck and Windows 11 desktop with a host of other mods no issues.

This mod somehow broke my installation. The game freezes every time I try to start a career, even after disabling this mod. I'm currently having to verify the installation. No mods that conflict, as far as I can tell.

Its not the exact shade and glow of the original, but I got it close lol. I still don't know why scaling the hud causes it. I will probably have to recreate this mod from scratch at some point as they continue making changes to everything.
