Steam Problems

Ashaman_Joe

<div class="IPBDescription">Text Size, LA models</div> I just instaled the most current STEAM update, the NS Steam beta, and now when I play on Steam, I have 2 annoying problems.

1) Text in chat and death/ kill messages is far too large in text size, and seem to be bolded.

2) The Light Armor model shows up as the Jetpacker model.

I haven't had anyother problems people have told about (Luckily <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> ), and these two detract from the Overall Ns Experience<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>TM</span>. I have a

RADEON 9000 64 MB with driver version 6.14.10.6396
AMD Athlon XP 2500+
Windows 2000 Professional
Open GL in 1280x1024
I am not running EAX
HL Game of the Year Edition
512 DDR RAM

Thanks for any help I get.

(You can tell I was looking at the FAQ when I was posting, can't you <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> )

Dunno what to say, but I do agree with you on the font. The font for every HL game on steam is IMMESLY *sp* huge. I hate it. I like it the way it is on won with my 800x600 setting. perfectly nice and small, but very easliy readable

Just wait for ns 2.1

Ahh, ignorance <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

You have High Detail models turned on (an NS bug NOT steam)

simply put:
cl_himodels 0

into your config.cfg

hmm, infact.....
simply try ussing my config and see what hapens <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Thank you Thansal. That fixed my LA problem.

Now if anyone know how to fix the text?

(About high detail models, because JP is a LA submodel, I assume High Models choses the 2nd submodel, which supposedly has more polys in other mods?)

Again, thanks Thansal. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

There are some threads around where people explain how to change the font, I Have had 0 luck at all with it chaning NS fonts but others have, give it a try.

Ashaman_Joe

I looked at one that talked about changing TrackerScheme.res. I tried it. It did abosolutely nothing.

devicenull

edit the _textscheme.txt file for your res..
if you run at 640x480 (we are talking about hl, not windows) edit 640_textscheme.txt
if 800x600 edit 800_textscheme.txt
and so on..
there are normal font sizes in there, just decrease them all

Ashaman_Joe

I don't see a _textscheme.txt in my D:\Program Files\Steam\resource. If I open TrackerScheme.res in notepad, I can go down to Font and change stuff, but it doesnt seem to do anything. I got a bunch of 800_blah_blah.tga, .res, a .scc, but the only .txts I see are platform_language.txt and vgui_language.txt.

devicenull

Oops..
_textscheme.txt files are in your Steam\SteamApps\Half life\ns directory, not in steam.. srry

Ashaman_Joe

I think I may have been unclear on this. The ingame popup menu/commander name/commander icons/all the stuff the NS team coded in is fine, and even a little better than WON. In game chat, eg say and say_team text is far bigger than in Won, and seems to be bolded.

I'll try to demonstrate with the message board.

Won: Ashaman Joe: Text size
Steam: <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><b>Ashaman Joe: Text size</b></span>

Yea, i have exactly the same stupidly huge text and it happens in all mods. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

scrn shot it my biotch <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

I am willing to bet that this just might be the new steam font (steam itself changed some stuff)

Zerogreat

I have this huge font from the beginning i use Sh...erm, Steam, whats about 3 weeks. I will take that screenshot today but not now because now im trying to compress 18 088 (~2GB) files with WinZip, WinRar and WinAce all at once which makes my computer a bit slow.

Ashaman_Joe

The fix for the Text size is over on the NS Customisation forum. Apparantly the default scheme is bugged and wont change properly.
