HW2 Font Editor/Creator works...
I finally got my new PC today, and hence got hold of HW2 as quickly as possible. The font editor works! This is just a test mind you, so the justification is off a little, but....



Babylon 5 returns to HW.....




... and here's another font for you to try. Simply extract this and off you go. You need to be in 1024 resolution though, and using the overridebig command switch....

You'd think that something as trivial as a font editor doesn't do much, but in fact its very cool.

The subtle effect it has on the game changes the atmosphere considerably. This is a must-have for those of us going for total conversions! Thanks for the demonstration!

np. I'm getting around to adding the justification into the app. It'll be needed as the glyphs for most HW2 fonts are really wide, resulting in the larger than needed gaps between characters you can see above if it's not sorted out...

The game doesn't auto-justify? That's strange...

The game uses the settings for each character in the font. I'll have to incorporate this into my app in order for the game to know where to justify the new characters from. It's not a huge change...

Could you make it so that the red outline only overlaps black space (or, the text overlaps the red outline)? Here's an example:



Also, if you could add the ability to type a string and have it display in either font, it would be great.

Thanks,

Mikail
