[Solved] Custom Fonts

Aeroblyctos · Nov 4, 2011

Hello.

Does anyone know some good looking fonts? I'm searching for something unique and not much used in any other wc3 maps or campaign(if not at all). I'm making pretty epic campaign and I need to make it unique as possible and I think this is one of the things that could really make it.

Maybe you could share your little secret font with me? No need to give it in public you may also share it via PM.

I dont need this now but it can be useful later so i ask now.

How i modify the text size

Aeroblyctos · Jan 28, 2012

I don't know if this is necro posting or not but I just can't get this thing to work.

I created a test map but it just doesn't work. So I'm still needing help with this case. The map just crashes whatever I do.

I'm trying this method: http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=108965

The test map is attached to this post.

you need to import the text to the map also. download it from pharaoh_'s link

Aeroblyctos · Jan 28, 2012

Aeroblyctos · Feb 16, 2012

First I have imported david.ttf then I have removed your war3mapskin.txt thing, and used the JNGP advanced game interface configuration instead and worked. However on exit game it freezed game.

EDIT: I may got the problem. You will get shocked...

Code:

[CustomSkin]

ChatFont=David.ttf
EscMenuTextFont=David.ttf
TextTagFont=David.ttf
InfoPanelTextFont=David.ttf
MessageFont=David.ttf
MasterFont=David.ttf

There is one space after "MasterFont=David.ttf " and just removed that and worked.

Aeroblyctos · Feb 16, 2012

Is this possible with basic wc3 editor?

No, Sir.

Aeroblyctos · Feb 16, 2012

What are good and bad sides of JNGP?

Is it possible that could create bugs to my project?

It should not make bugs, but it is needed for everything....

Pharaoh_ · Feb 16, 2012

It IS possible with the regular editor.

Advanced -> Game Interface -> Fonts -> edit them

Also here is the map, as I told only a space character was the bug.

Really? Perhaps you could create a test map using regular editor and add that text? Or if you can't do that can you at least tell me how to do that?

i downloaded this and same crash at loading(ofc i mported ttf file too), but at my map working fine same font file what was imported long ago also i dont have any font at game interface

Pharaoh_ · Feb 16, 2012

If I recall correctly, this map is a working version, check it out; make sure you manually load it from the Maps list from Wc3 itself, not the editor and load it twice (hit escape once it opens and reload it).

Sooory I uploaded the original one :S

Superb! I just never imported the "font file". Now that I imported it the whole font started to work immediately! Wow, great. Thanks to everyone and especially to you Pharaoh_!

Here's the map where the font works. It's very easy to understand from this very simple map I created just for the font. I hope this will help other people's projects too. Thanks again and good luck to everyone who want to make their projects more unique with just few clicks.

Hey, I still got one problem. How to change floating texts to X font too?

Maker · Feb 17, 2012

Set
TextTagFont=David.ttf
in the custom skin block.

I use an imported war3mapSkin.txt file

Open the map with War3 Model Editor's MPQ browser. You then find the .txt file. You can export it and then edit it. Import it and remove the war3mapImported from the file path.

Aeroblyctos · Feb 18, 2012

Okay so my notepad looks like this now:

[CustomSkin]

ChatFont=BLKCHCRY.ttf
EscMenuTextFont=BLKCHCRY.ttf
TextTagFont=BLKCHCRY.ttf
InfoPanelTextFont=BLKCHCRY.ttf
MessageFont=BLKCHCRY.ttf
MasterFont=BLKCHCRY.ttf
TextTagFont=BLKCHCRY.ttf

(didn't change the floating text font)

I tried to find something you told me to but you never gave me the name. What I should find?

Maker · Feb 18, 2012

Find war3mapSkin.txt file.

Aeroblyctos · Feb 18, 2012

Any ideas in where that could be?

I tried to search but nothing.

Maker · Feb 18, 2012

BTW, if you are using test map function, then restart the map since floating text won't be changed during the first loading time.

Aeroblyctos · Feb 18, 2012

I see. Well it works now, thanks again, Maker.
