Some requests require a lot of work.
What about the possibility of using different fonts in briefings and debriefings(no, no Italics...for now)?
-
That would require a ton of work. Taylor has it on his to-do list, but it's not going to happen for a long time, if at all.

I would imagine that list is as long as my leg :shaking:

You can edit the font files yourself with fonttool.
-
That would change the only font used in briefs. I was refering to the possibility of using different fonts. Ex. in a com brief you have a quote from a book or a speech, it'd be nice to see it in a different font.
-
Hrm, that's true. Although it is possible to script stuff in to comm briefings (eg draw a graphic of the text). You'd have to check for clicks on the buttons and handle them appropriately with the scripted stuff, but using the $State:/$On Frame: combo, it shouldn't be too difficult.
-
So basically it's already possible?
-
Yes
-
Ok.
Now write the script so that we can use it :nervous:

No. It's not worth my time to write a script for somebody who's so rude that he derails other people's threads and expects other people to drop what they're doing just because he wants something. IMO, it would be a good learning experience for you to spend some time doing some actual work.

QFT. :yes:
And thread split.

To be fair Mobius does do some good FREDding, but that's about it.

:wtf:
I have a list of mods potentially interested on that: INFA, INF SCP and ED. WCS and TBP might be interested on that, too. And I don't even mention custom campaigns...
Since the thread has been split, does anyone know about font changes? What do I need to do to use a completely new font? Is it just a matter of placing something in a mod folder?
QFT. :yes:

Meh. At least this time you didn't lock the thread. The other time you claimed that "I was expecting special treatment" while I was simply expecting the obvious.
A few directives about getting that effect with Scripting so that a more generous member like Nuke can accomplish something...does a simple post lead someone "to drop what he's doing"?
-
Mobius, drop it. You don't want to mess with Goober. And I'm not joking, I'm being absolutely serious.
-
But after 3 "sad" episodes a person can feel a bit irritated, you know...
-
Get used to it :doubt:

Get used to it or you'll find yourself banned for a week or two.
-
No, wait...4...it happened 4 times.
-
Fine, do whatever you want, I'm not stopping you.
-
I'm trying to say that Goober5000 did that four times recently. I was the only member involved.
I asked for help and got a thread lock, I proposed a change and got a thread lock...I have been pointed out as someone expecting "special treatment".
The point is that I'm confused. Not angry, just confused.
-
So feel free to send an IM, or something. I'm not a giant black box that issues arbitrary admin decisions.
Also, stay on topic or I'll lock this thread, as well.
