Title: Is Editing the Mouse Cursor Possible?
Post by: MarvelHero on January 21, 2026, 04:14:27 PM
I am talking about the mouse cursor pointer. Can we make it more higher resolution?

(melee, beam, projectile etc)

Or did anyone already make a mod of it?

I feel like the game needs a UI mod. Is it possible?

Yes, this should be super easy (I assume).  All of the various visuals in the game (if you've unpacked your art files) are in Art/Library/Interface_Elements.  All you'd have to do is find the ones you want to change, either upscale or replace them, and boom, you're good.

Is it really that simple? I also wonder how no one has done it until now.

I did manage to change the logo into League of Legends and Mugen logos. The cursor and mouse pointer is challenging.

Yep, it should be.  I have changed loading screens and stuff, but I haven't changed those icons.  Nonetheless, they should work the same way.

I am still sorting out the files for my new cursor. It is tedious for me.

And I had trouble with the scene.nif menu. Opening it on nikskope then editing and saving it will cause it to lose the camera and will cause  :ffvstr: to crash.

So I might stick to static screen menu for now.

Making a new UI is harder than I thought.

I've just tended to replace the  :ffvstr: menu screen with the  :ff: one, that way you don't have to mess with the movement and such.

Good idea. I will try that.

Edit: It works. But once I edit it in Nifskope and save it. It would say no camera in the nif and crash the game.

Hmm, what are you trying to do with editing it in Nifskope?  I haven't tried editing those files directly myself.  I instead just replace them with something that already exists and does what I want.

The only thing I successfully achieved is replacing the logo into a League of Legends logo.

I just wanted my own moving  :ffvstr: menu replaced by the characters and logo of my choice.

Sadly, everytime I try to save the scene. The nifskope messes the camera. And it crashes the game.

I might use your static TMNT menu as a base and go from there instead.

It is very frustrating not being able to fully edit the FFVT3R menu. :banghead:
