[TEC] HOW TO MAKE NEW FONT IN SH GAME?

Bartholomew Roberts · 07-22-23, 06:53 AM

I want to make larger font for 4k UI.

I've looking into Data/Menu/Font/, ervery font contains 2 files. a tga or dds file, a off file , and some contains a txt file which has no use just to show the position of each letter.

I opened off file with HxD know it's a 16bit file. it clearly reflects the position table writes in txt file and you can not change dds into tga format or it ctd. So Anyone knows how to make this off file with what tool?

S3D is the tool needed.
Somewhere there is a post about doing the Fonts.

That would be the thread I was talking about.
Be aware there may be issues like a black screen that don't show the fonts.
There are threads about that also if you search.

Oh, I don't know S3D is that useful! Enlarge image is a easy job anyway, sadly I use excel to fast mutiply dimension array, now I have to do it manually

If you know the enlargement size of the texture file? Should be an easy calculation with a spread sheet.

But S3D cannot import txt or xls, I have to input every number one at a time
