<div class="IPBDescription">Starcraft, Aliens, Tech, damaged, cute.</div> Font replacements for:
- chat
- console
- who killed who
- looking at player info

While looking and converting Fonts for NS I found some nice stuff:
Scify fonts, fonts that look like theyre written with fade claws or lerk spikes, fonts with different ambiences (scary, damaged, chibby, cute) and well known fonts like the titles from StarCraft and Pokemon.

<b>This is kinda preview, the Starcraft font looks great and is the most interestring font yet.
Just copy the font.wad in the ns main directory.</b>

Not shown in the pic is the pokemon and annon (unown) font, both pokemon relatet (thats why).jpg kills all the quality.

    I think they are cool but can you get some more legiable ones?

    I use the one from The Specialists. It's easier to read than yours, and in a game where teamwork is of the utmost importance, you want to be able to read. Make them more legible, and I might use them. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I would like to have that font for messing with.. the alien one. Can I use it for a windows font instead of ingame or what?

    Ollj - any chance of you pointing me to the tutrial you learned this from? When I was making custom game fonts for myself they had a tendency to mess up rather often. I was trying the SC font, but ended up figuring it just wouldn't work as a HL font. Now I've seen yours I'd love to see how it's done properly. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Its done with this
    <a href='http://www.custom-tfc.co.uk/index.php?section=view_tut&t_id=8' target='_blank'>http://www.custom-tfc.co.uk/index.php?sect...view_tut&t_id=8</a>
    sure its a fife minutes job. 10 klicks and a test run.
    but it needs more time to look trough a site that includes thousands of fonts to find some you could use in NS, and then throw away 25 of 50 because they dont even have numbers or small letters or they are unreadable in ns even in big size.

    so its with the aliens font. its neat in small size and sux in big size.
    heres the small aliens font, does not look soo much like aliens and is really small.

    Ah, that's much better than the program that comes with the SDK. Thanks, Ollj.

    gimme a screenshot with more text than "MENU". Does not look special.
  • OlljOllj our themepark-stalking nightmare Fade Join Date: 2002-12-12 Member: 10696Members
    Yay I just found out how to change the other texts fonts.
    You just need to delete/move/rename all .tga files in hl/valve/gfx/vgui/fonts AND hl/ns/gfx/vgui/fonts.
    Now the .ttf FontName´s mentioned in the xxx_textsceme of hl/ns are used (were xxx is the x-value of your resolution).
    Dont change the SchemeName entry.

    The .ttf font must be in c:/windows/fonts/

    Hehe - I was going to ask if anyone knew how to do that. Thanks again for the info Ollj. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    [ot]

    Sheebus, I threw out a screenie of some pretty basic work. The model needs tweaking, and possibly some areas need to be remade to suit how it looks now a little better. Not to mention that I'm going to make a whole new skin.

    If it matters to you that much I can tell you that the screenie represented about five minutes' work in Milkshape, if you want to have a go yourself. If not, patience is key.

    Oh, and it's not a plug. A plug is where you're advertising something of yours. What it is is a moderately annoying question that's probably not very well thought through. I'm just saying.
