BZ2 Large Textures Pack, v1.0

Re: BZ2 Large Textures Pack, v1.0
Bank Gothic should work.
EDIT: Try this. 9pt Bank Gothic, #00FF00, all-caps and 1pt paragraph spacing. Most lines are roughly the right length, the ninth being the exception.

Re: BZ2 Large Textures Pack, v1.0
Another texture with illegible text problems is ioface00, the terminal screen and of course its new scion equivalent.

Re: BZ2 Large Textures Pack, v1.0
I'm not in a position to go searching for those at the moment; if you have them easily available, could you post them?

Re: BZ2 Large Textures Pack, v1.0
I don't have the original of the new scion one, sometime I need to ask GSH for the originals of the textures added by 1.3, no hurry, still got loads more to do from data.pak
This texture appears on every isdf terminal. it sort of relies on being illegible to hide the fact that it is just a texture and not an indication of the terminals actual function. Not sure if making it readable is actually desirable....

Most of those are fairly legible, but I'll try to decipher the rest in a bit.

Yes you think you know what they say without actually seeing each letter, bit like an opticians eye test
On the green screen I elaborated a bit to make it more coms like and then applied some "screen" effects, this should result in it only being legible once dxtbz2'ed when viewed at its full resolution.

This is a screencap of an early lobby mockup or test; Step 1, 2 and 3 refer to setting up the game, the communications tab lists several handles (most I don't recognise, but Ken and GSH were there - smile guys!), vehicle setup lists four Fury vehicles, and "no chat until in a session" is written in the Communications tab. With that in mind most of it was fairly easy to decipher.
Header text and vehicle list in 4pt, body test 3.5. White Bank Gothic.
I made a mockup, but most of it is illegible.

Re: BZ2 Large Textures Pack, v1.0
wondering how difficult it would be to replace the texture in the relay bunker/antenna mound/overseer terminal with the minimap.
If given the truth, the people can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts - and beer.

Re: BZ2 Large Textures Pack, v1.0
Would be cool if bz2 used something similar to the Windows Environment variables. For example, textureName = "%minimap%". %minimap% being whatever the minimap is for the currently loaded map.

Re: BZ2 Large Textures Pack, v1.0
Yes, that's what it looks like. I can't see it making much sense from an in game perspective if you can actually read it.This is a screencap of an early lobby mockup
Mostly I have been trying to reproduce the textures very much like the originals, but some stuff (like planets) have been replaced with better looking images. Not sure what to do here.
That's one idea, personally for the texture pack I would like things to look "original" where possible or better if not.wondering how difficult it would be to replace the texture in the relay bunker/antenna mound/overseer terminal with the minimap.
I will try to knock up a texture that looks very similar, but has menus for the various functions terminals are actually used for.

Re: BZ2 Large Textures Pack, v1.0
I guess a good way to do it would be to specify a var, in the xsi, then set said var to a value in the map's ini file or trn file. Something where you specify a texture via variable, and that variable differs from map to map.

If it was done it would probably be hard coded textures, like REFLECTION3.PICCommando wrote:I guess a good way to do it would be to specify a var, in the xsi, then set said var to a value in the map's ini file or trn file.

Re: BZ2 Large Textures Pack, v1.0
i wonder if mapURL could be adapted for it.
