You can use Gimp to modify DDS files

[Jinix the Elder]

DDS files are the images used in the game.

You can use a free, easy to use, image converter program designed just for modders.
Convert the .dds to .jpg - use a graphic program to edit the .jpg. Then convert it back again as a .dds

It's really easy to use and well worth it ( it's freeware).

This mod enlarges size of some objects spawned on adventure map.
Affected objects: magic crystal, gold, magic runes (might, mind, magic)
Static, non-spawned object of same type is not affected.

To install: Extract 'mod_larger_mapobj.kfs' file from ZIP file
and put it to <GAME_INSTALL_DIR> (King's Bounty. The Legend)/data/mods folder.

To remove: Remove the kfs file from mods folder and restart game.

This mod is based on "mod_freeseer_2x_objects" authored by 'freeseer' @ KBTL forum.
Thanks, freeseer.
Freeseer's mod includes large collection of objects spawning on the map.
(ex: lead ship flags, shrines, boxes, etc...)
I selected just few frequently found objects and reduced the scaling factor.
Scaling factor of freeseer's objects is 2.0 (200% of original size).
I reduced it to 1.5 (150%)

I finished the minimap dial image. Here it is.
I changed the color of 'North' marker in perimeter of the minimap radar dial to make it easier to notice from other East/West/South marker. Please, padon me my poor Photoshop skill

To install it, just drop 'mod_radardial.kfs' file from ZIP file to the (GAME_INSTALL_DIR)/data/mods folder.
Thanks Jinix the Elder and others for helpful advice.
