Font question

[robustits]

The menu_1024_768.ini file in the Menu folder provides font usage. In "Font=X" reference number is X. In "ToolTipText=Y" reference characters are Y in the menu.txt file.

I understand menu_1024_768.ini file to certain extent. There are entries like "Font=1", "Font=18" etc... But how do I find out what particular font the number refers to?

It's listed at the top of the menu_1024_768.ini file itself.

Ahhhh, nice. Thanks privateer!

I used 010 editor to scan all the files in SH4.
That's how I found it.

Sounds like a handy program, have to look it up. You wouldn't know, by chance, how to find specific things inside of files? Sorry if this sounds like dumb question, I am good graphic designer not programmer, but here is an example:
I need to change, for now, font in the body of Radio Messages (the ones which are on the little notepad on Captain's Log). As of now it uses one of the "Agency" fonts and I need it to be written in one of the FPHunt font (courier style "typewriter font") and I need the same change done for the Ranks page (in Captain's Room). There has to be a way of finding this info somewhere...
I would really appreciate little walkthrough if you have time.

Thanks!

010 by Sweetscape is a hex editor but has a crap load of great features.
I paid around $50.00 for it as I use the heck out of it!
It can search in all types of files to find a phrase or other type searches such as hex numbers and so on.

So I can tell it to search the SH4 folder and all sub folders for nearly anything.

I'll search Agency and see what turns up.


Captains Log is listed in the menu_1024 blah blah as useing Font 21 which is an agency font.
So search that area.
So if you use notepad? Search for
Name=Captain'sLogTitle

That puts you in the right area.

I do plug and suggest 010 alot but it's a very good program for so much more then just SH type stuff.
I have bought a second upgrade as the first license ran out. The second license is cheaper then the first of course.
They also listen to requests for future improvments and have told me 2 that I requested will be in the next upgrades!
Great program in SO many ways!
