Console Bg Making - Font Text/colour

JediYoshi

Here's some misc things to change. Not much, but if you're picking about how the game looks in 2d perspective, then this should help.

First off is this Font Maker, it's extreamly self explanitory, shouldn't have a problem with it.

^^Save target as/copy&paste into new browser

Now to change the colour of your text is quite easy, open the config.cfg for NS and at the bottom write;

con_color "x x x"

The X's will stand for a number, the number is in an RGB fashion so just put those numbers in place and save that puppy.

Next is how to make console backgrounds. To do this you'll have to get this one program;

<a href='http://www.cybcity.com/jediyoshi/ConsoleMaker.zip' target='_blank'>http://www.cybcity.com/jediyoshi/ConsoleMaker.zip</a>

^^Save target as/copy&paste into new browser AND extract into your base c drive

Then in the samples folder, you'll have to put the image you want as a console background. Some things on the image however is this:

-It has to be 256 colours
-8bit
-640x480
-bitmap

Put the image in the folder and copy it a second time, then name one of them, conback.bmp and the other loading.bmp

woohoo Jedi, I have been wanting to mess with the fonts for a while but hadn't gotten around to digging out the fontmaker.

Really appreciate the instructions also, thanks!
