Replacing the text system

[logan]

Is it possible to make your own text system for the game by replacing every letter, puncuation and number? Cause I tried and it didn't do anything. Is there some lump name you have to put before all of the new text?

all you have to do is replace the graphics.

8 x 8 px. is best, but you can have anthing.

But having it a different size probably won't change the letter spacing, so it'd end up all squished together or have too much space inbetween. It's best to stick to 8x8.

already tried...

I already did just replace the graphics, all of them, but it was just the normal old text system. ( I also tried to replace to level header text.)

 

[Blitzzo]

Then be specific! What is this "new text system" you're talking about?

 

[logan]

ugh... like all of the little letters, punctuation, numbers, ect.

im trying to make new letters and stuff, but it isn't working. I put in the lump names, and my stuff doesn't show up.

Go into a copy of srb2.srb using XWE, and tell it to only show the GFX. Then, try copying the lumps for the letters, numbers, and symbols (all of them, there are a few at the end too, and there's two styles of both numbers and some extra symbols). You can then work from there.

Oh yeah, and before I forget, text on the menus won't get highlighted except in the areas that use shades white or gray.
