Re: Old_Message_Mod
Nope. Tell you what D: Keeping in mind it's your mod, can you post your graphics files and what program your using? I have Photoshop and Paint.net. If you don't want to upload your raw graphics files you can PM me and I'll give you my email address. That way you don't have to keep making changes without knowing if they work or not.

Re: Old_Message_Mod
born2see – that one worked better than the rest of them.
I didn’t bother with trying to adjust the buttons until I was sure that it was going to work, or fit with your computers resolution.
Now that you know that that one fits, I can send you what ever files that you think you need, but you have all of them already.
With Photoshop – open up the dds file from the version2 and draw a square around the graphic with the Rectangular Marquess Tool – this will give you the size of the letter.
Then reduce the size of the newest one posted up top 768x768 and reduce it to that size.
Crop the top and adjust it to the size of the one that you just showed.
Place it on a 1024x1024 board – and that should do it.
The coordinates for the buttons are defined by the coordinates of the 1024x1024 background.
If you have trouble with that just edit the dds file and post it here, I’ll adjust the buttons.
You see how the bottom X is showing – that is controlled by the I and J columns in the gscreen file – so by reducing the number in the J column will remove the X from showing on the screen.
But, if you need any other files that I have done, just name the ones, and I’ll re-post them.

Re: Old_Message_Mod
Thanks D. I'm good for now. I'll work on it this weekend and post my results (or failure). :dry:

Re: Old_Message_Mod
Forgive my intrusion, very nice work indeed, but I think the Caps on the font used are not really legible and look bad.

What do you think D, shall we beat him to within an inch of his life?Forgive my intrusion, very nice work indeed, but I think the Caps on the font used are not really legible and look bad.
Just kidding, Jolly. That is surely a welcome and valid criticism. This is still a work in progress and as such still has much to be improved. Most of the current effort is to get the message to display correctly for everyone.
I give Davinci all the credit for taking this from an idea to fruition and for not just saying "to heck with this" and letting folks like myself live with the fact that it doesn't work for them.
Thanks again for your input.

We were trying to match the handwriting that was roughly used at that time.Forgive my intrusion, very nice work indeed, but I think the Caps on the font used are not really legible and look bad.
Open the gamefonts file that is included with the mod – and choose another font that you like.
Example: the one being used now.
MsgFont,MsgFont,LDScript3.pft,0.9
Change to: this is the default font.
MsgFont,MsgFont,VinerHand32..pft,0.9
A complete list of available fonts are listed at the end of the gamefonts file.
If you have any problems post back - but you have modded other things, so I doubt that this will cause any problems.

Re: Old_Message_Mod
Having said I was good, I'm not. Can you post just the letter graphic itself? I'll be an hour trying to grab and resize it. Thanks.born2see - do you have all of the graphical files that you need?
