changing the font

[Shadonking]

iv got ultimate font over ride on tons of addons and i put it has true and placed what font i want in the correct place but it still uses the font im trying to get rid off, iv also tried changing the size just in case the font was invalid but the size also doesnt change.

any ideas on how to change the font.

Make sure the font you're trying to replace is in your font library. Typing a non-existent font or some font in C:\ won't help at all. Secondly, make sure it's the EXACT spelling of that font. Try all the names that font goes under. "Calibri" is different than "calibri". Ultimate Font Override does NOT work on title screen at default, or it hasn't with my games. It works when you begin the game though when it's set to true.

i used Word to check through the font then copyied and pasted it into the font override script so i didnt miss spell it or place a font i dont have.

also i tried the script on that topic but it had errors. i thought that the script on tons of addons would be just as good anyway.

and i have a custom title that doesnt use the defult font put uses pictures, i check to see if it works by making a message in game.

Use an alternative font and see if it works. If it doesn't, you may have a problem. By the way, what is the font you are trying to use?

Also, does your Ultimate Font Override in Tons of Add-ons look something along the lines of this:

# Ultimate Font Override by Blizzard
# Version: 1.01b
# Type: Project-Script Compatibility Improvement
# Date: 19.10.2006
# Date v1.01b: 30.7.2007
#:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=
# 
#   You can change the font/fontsize with the "Call script" event command or
#   directly through a script by using these methods:
# 
#     $game_system.fontname = "FONTNAME"
#     $game_system.fontsize = FONTSIZE
# 
#   It will override the font from any RMXP version. It is also possible to
#   change the font during the game. It will be saved, too.

iv tried using another font and that didnt work and this is the font i want to use 'Monotype Corsiva'.

and yes that is the same script thats in tons of addons

Hey, I have your project so I took a peek. I think it has something to do with the STCMS, I dunno. I''ll look it through thoroughly once more.

[Shadonking]

thanks

edit

how do you change the colors of the font as well and also how do i fix the problem with not being able to change the font type

[Blizzard]

If it's a problem with STCMS, do you have all script versions up to date? Let's see if FTS finds the problem.

[Shadonking]

ok, and i have got the most upto date scripts

[Fantasist]

Hm, here are Bliz's scripts you're usingand their versions.

Tons Of Addons - 6.70b
STCMS       -       5.32b
Blizz-ABS    -       1.99
ATES         -         0.3

Changing the font through STCMS works fine but changing it by $game_system.fontname doesn't work. Try getting the latest scripts again, Tons 6.71b is out. And make sure the script order is correct:

[Shadonking]

i got the newest tons of addons just after i sent my project to you. and i think there in correct order. i followed what that topic showed.

woo hoo, iv gotten the font type to change. it was STCMS that was stopping it but all you have to do is change the font from the STCMS and it works.

now all i need is to change the colour

[Fantasist]

Oh, of course, you're using the parchment windowskin. I think STCMS has the provision for dark coloured fonts, just gp through the documentation once.

[Shadonking]

i cant find where is alows you to darken fonts in the STCMS

[Fantasist]

Strange... I'll take a look at STCMS *goes and downloads*

EDIT:

#   FONT_BACKGROUND_FIX    - set this to true if you want dark font colors to
#                            be used in the menu, this comes in handy when the
#                            custom background images you use are bright

But only in the menu...

[Blizzard]

Alright, I'll fix the problem then.

[Shadonking]

ok

thanks for the help
