Controls2 - Fonts - Courier
Re: Controls2 - Fonts - Courier
That is really cool! Was that generated by the game or Photoshop? Either way, can't you use that as a message background graphic?

It is from one of the Civil War Sites that I was on, but then the thunderstorm knocked out the power, before I got the name of the site.That is really cool! Was that generated by the game or Photoshop? Either way, can't you use that as a message background graphic?
I then used Photoshop to edit \ splice \ modify \ change the letter. I wish that I could do something this realistic.
Problem is – I’m not sure about using certain things off the Internet!

Forgive my blockheadedness by why can't you do that? Save the letter as a dds file and stick it in the mod.I then used Photoshop to edit \ splice \ modify \ change the letter. I wish that I could do something this realistic.

My Bad!.....I didn't understand your earlier question - Yes - it is in the game, saved as POPUP_Courier - This has given me quite a few ideas about adding Graphics into the game.Forgive my blockheadedness by why can't you do that? Save the letter as a dds file and stick it in the mod.
I still have to clean it up and add the buttons, but I'll do that after work tomorrow.
I also extended it a bit so that the text messages can be longer, reducing the scrolling.
I was just wondering if it is legal to take something off of the internet and use it in a game, but I'm not doing it for profit, so it might be all right!
I'll send you a copy late tomorrow!

I suspect that's a question for Norb and the gang.I was just wondering if it is legal to take something off of the internet and use it in a game, but I'm not doing it for profit, so it might be all right!
That's the best yet. It looks old but it could be from a hot, dusty, sweaty courier as well.

As long as it's not for profit, I think you'll be ok.

OK, Nobody - better not send me one penny!
Here is another one with the text more aligned!
Really do need a slightly darker font - but I might be able to lighten up the image a little.

Re: Controls2 - Fonts - Courier
That looks great. It's amazing how far you and Born2see have advanced with this subject. This new message format really takes the courier message immersion factor to a whole new level. Can't wait to get my hands on the mod. Good work (again). Don't worry, I won't send you any money, but if I run into you in GB I'll buy you lunch.

You can get farther with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.

Re: Controls2 - Fonts - Courier
That looks absolutely incredible!Well, we are going to have to figure out \ find a program that allows us to edit a pft file.D: How come we can't get Lamar Pen to look like that? Notice how I slipped the "we" in there?
Sort of hard considering that it is sort of old, so not that many people are going to be writing programs for it.
Hey, look at this letter I found on the Internet, I can hear the judge now How, can you find something that was reported as lost!
I had to splice it to make it wider, still have to add a thin border around it to even it up, but hopefully I can keep working on this one, and then make another one based off of it.
This is with the LDScript3.
