You mean in the CCMS? I'm just using Tahoma instead of whatever the normal is, resizing it and giving it different colors. No special script for it, the only special font script I have is my personal shaded text, which has extra faded shadows. I just now got ToAO's in my script test bed

@Susys
I inserted a sprite into main so borders there the whole time

i still dont understand... -_-

[Calintz]

Looks good guys, anymore screenies??

[Nortos]

Yeah I always use Tahoma in menus, huds or battle layouts

For Susys: ShowHide

end

and a pic was called back in the pictures folder

Translation:

He added a little script thingy to it to show it.

[Nortos]

lol yeah just stays there whole time sometimes cuts edges of the edge of maps but dnt matter that much

[Phasedscar]

it was actually Darklight's pictures I was thinking about.  Sorry for the confusion WcW.

I was wondering what he was using for the text because I really like how looks, and as it is right now the standard text window is just.. well..  obnoxious half the time because it occupies like 1/3 of the screen.

[fugibo]

Looks to me like he is just using a special font with an outline. To do the outline you could just use a simple script:

alias draw_text_outline_later draw_text # DO NOT USE WITH SHADED TEXT UNLESS YOU WANT TO SCREW YOURSELF OVER
def draw_text(x, y, width=0, heigh0, text='', align=0)
  if x.is_a?(Rect)
    rect = x
    text = y
    align = width
  else
    rect = Rect.new(x, y, width, height)
  end
  old_color = self.font.color.clone
  self.font.color = Color.new(0, 0, 0, old_color.alpha)
  draw_text_outline_later(rect.x-2, rect.y-2, rect.width+4, rect.height+4, text, align)
  self.font.color = old_color
  draw_text_outline_later(rect, text, align)
end

@darklight: Shouldn't it be "humans" instead of "humes" in your screeny? O_o

[fugibo]

Lol, someone hasn't played FFXI/an Ivalice Alliance game...

[Blizzard]

You are very right. ._.

[fugibo]

Hume is just SE's way of doing humans. They're in Final Fantasy Tactics, XII, and XI.

[Phasedscar]

My company name and logo 

[Flermza]

Awesome logo!  ;D

[Sally]

make it an amimation,


its awsome

[Phasedscar]

Yeah, I was planning to since I wanted it animated for my game

Maybe sometime from now I'll make a .gif or .avi where it can work properly.

[Nortos]

just make more pics and than it's real easy to make it animated

[darklight]

Hi guys! Thanks for the comments. I oughtta make a project thread so I can show people a better overview of my game. It's really good, I promise! And it's not about saving the crystals, either

As for the text, it's not a script, it's a special font I'm using. I really wanted that old-school text feel. As for the outlined text, it's part of the custom message script. It's nice cuz it actually fades in the windows without adding any lag. It's derula's re-hauled version of DubeAlex's Advanced Message Script [AMS+ v1.8]. which I got from Creation Asylum.

I've posted the font in my resources thread, which I need to update with some other stuff I've made I've decided to rehaul my tileset to give me the most flexibility in mapping, like an underground city that combines stone walls with cave walls. Right now just the interior map is 256x27594 px, and it still looks like I'm about to run out of room. The other advantage to this is all I have to change are the autotiles, which should shrink down my project size quite a bit. I can also just select 'use tileset for event image' which reduces the number of files in my /Characters folder.

The problem is that I have to re-map everything I've already done, and I have to set the passabilities for everything

[Phasedscar]

think you can just post the script for me?  I honestly don't feel like site hopping on a pretty much brand new comp, don't want to get spyware and crap like that  :-\

[darklight]

Ooh, congrats on the new comp.

For anyone who wants to read through the version changes and derula's original post, the CA link is here:

I'm the last person who broke his script

It's broken into 5 parts (you can still combine them in the editor), here is his website:

You'll need to copy all 5 of 'em for it to work. I promise there's no spyware or ads or anything.
