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

[Jeff-Groves]

In Open Office...............

There is a Text delimiter on import.
DELETE the " or ' you find there.
Leave it BLANK!!!
The file will show correct then. For the most part anyway.
There's still a few symbols that do not appear properly in a Spread sheet.


I'm not a Spread Sheet expert nor use them myself.
Seeing as one does not need to change those symbols but only the sizes?
I'd code to adjust the sizes and leave the symbols alone.

Oh, I didn't notice that , that also works for libre office. Years passed I almost forgot how to use spreadsheet. You need to do script both reading and writing off file, good luck.

I've already started the scripts but they only work with Sweetscape 010

Kind of strange the Devs used different symbols in the off files as you probably never see most of them.

Looking at 'Some' wide screen mods?
They seemed to rename an off file to kind of fit then just scaled up the graphic file. So most of the symbols in some files are worthless.

I know the studio was in Romania that's why they use this code. There is no font for 4k in other mod, you simply need to double the font size. So no off file matches

X, Y, Width, and Height only need to be scaled as long as they match the scale of the TGA or DDS file.
So if you scale say Chalk.dds up to 200%?
A script that scales the off file up should work. No need to translate off to text file.

but most Font in the game don't have a txt file, only off . So it's still needed. Say FPHunt38 eg. I wonder is there a way to transfer normal Font file like TTF、EOT into off. That would bring much more possiblities .

Just remember that the way the fonts were built for SH4 was an attempt to save on the RAM footprint (2005 programming). Some fonts do not have certain characters due to their use in the game that do not require all of the characters for varying applications. This is similar to indexed color use in tga or dds files. You choose the palette you work with.
