D: I'm having a problem with the text being cropped in it's width. I've tried making the letter wider, the font smaller and the format area wider. Any thoughts?

It you mean the text on the courier screen - such as orders...etc...D: I'm having a problem with the text being cropped in it's width. I've tried making the letter wider, the font smaller and the format area wider. Any thoughts?
The text starts at Format - G Column - and ends at Format I Column.
Example:
FORMAT,,,,,,75,60,630,650,0,0,,,&formatted:$param2
Translated - start text at coordinate 75, and do not write text after coordinate 630
Is this what you are referring to?

Re: Old_Message_Mod
Yes. I increased the width, Column I, from 600 to 635. Increases the writable area but the text doesn't expand correspondingly. I did get the height right but not in this screenshot.It you mean the text on the courier screen - such as orders...etc...
Frustrating. Can't make this work and I can't take McPherson's Farm with Rodes's entire division. At least the Giants won...

Re: Old_Message_Mod
OK, we are talking about the text, and not the actual screen, correct?
You cannot increase the screen area with those values, only the text.
I cannot see any problem with the latest picture, what am I looking for?
I can read the entire message, except for the word after South.
Drop the 75 down to 70 and the 635 to 630.

My values: FORMAT,,,,,,40,25,600,650,0,0,,,&formatted:$param2.FORMAT,,,,,,75,60,630,650,0,0,,,&formatted:$param2
Notice the 3 in 1863 is cropped. You can see the boundary of the text window. Small issue. Maybe not important. I just know it's there.

I can see three three's and they are all cropped, that is the font that you are using.My values: FORMAT,,,,,,40,25,600,650,0,0,,,&formatted:$param2.FORMAT,,,,,,75,60,630,650,0,0,,,&formatted:$param2

Change to a default font, and I'll bet the problem with those numbers go away.
I thought that you were going with the other one that didn't cover the toolbar, that was the best one for your computer specs.?
Sending a few more fonts that I downloaded also included the gamefonts file - all of them are listed - easy copy and paste to test them.

Re: Old_Message_Mod
This was the best. I was able to shrink the height so it didn't cover the Toolbar. I just didn't use it in this screenshot.I thought that you were going with the other one that didn't cover the toolbar, that was the best one for your computer specs.?
Aahhhh. This is why you are in command Sir.I can see three three's and they are all cropped, that is the font that you are using.
I'll check them out although I like this one a lot. Like you told Jolly, it has the look of a hastily written note.Sending a few more fonts that I downloaded also included the gamefonts file - all of them are listed - easy copy and paste to test them.

Re: Old_Message_Mod
born2see - I found a font editor on the Internet.
Do a Google Search for Type Light 3.0 - Free and it Works, somewhat!
Check out the top picture - notice that the p is cropped on this font, also notice that the s and the i is changed in the bottom picture, and the letter p is fixed.
I just did a quick edit of those letters to see if the results would work.

Re: Old_Message_Mod
That is great! Nice find. It's been a lot of work but you've really done something here. I applaud your skill and perseverance in taking this mod from a glitch to something really unique. I'm sure others will agree with me. Keep it up man!
