Title: Build 23 hud changes?
Post by: Br55HiT on November 04, 2008, 07:31:37 PM

Since I now have build 23 and I want to change the numbers and stuff in my hud is that possible anymore?  There is the shadow of the default numbers that stays and you can't make them in any other font.  Also is it possible to change the font for the PLAY SETUP QUIT etc.. pictures?  It's probably a script change but I wouldn't know how to do it.

Also is there any way to change the font color for like the white and green text?

They're just images in pball/pics.  You should be able to change them to whatever you want.

The white and green text colours are set within the engine code I think - the play, setup, quick pictures are in pics/m_*.tga and I have no idea about the number shadows, they don't seem to appear on my build 23 install.

edit: darn darn and doubledarn!

I changed the pics for the nums and made them a different font.  The parts that were outside the original numbers place didn't show and there was still a shadow from the original numbers.  The same thing happened for the MENU SETUP QUIT pics.

In this ss the numbers show because they are in the original fields but you can see the white shadow because I made the background transparent.  If I leave it black the shadow is black.

Isn't the shadow just part of the image?

No there is the red number with a black background.  If you erase the background that's what shows up on the screen.  It didn't used to be like that but for some reason my build 23 does......

I downloaded some numbers that work but when I try to make my own the background shows.  I now know I have to make a new file and not use the original at all to get rid of that part.  But now the whole background shows for the numbers.

I'm using 64x64 8bit RGB color 72 pixels/inch res and photoshop CS2  I save as a .tga with 1 layer with the number and black background.

and black background.

That's your issue.  That needs to be transparent, not black.

If I leave the background transparent it puts a white one in and that will show....

Ok got it i guess.  There needs to be an alpha layer that has the shape of your picture in it so that it blends to that.  Photoshop doesn't automatically save that for .tga files like other software so I have to change it manually.
