Changing subtitle size?
Is there a way to change size of the text created by the show-subtitle-text SEXP? Because the default is ridiculously small. I remember seeing much bigger text in the WiH intro. How was that done?

Thanks.

[16:58] <battuta> it was long, we wanted to release something
[16:58] <battuta> it felt good to have a target to hit
[17:00] <RangerKarl> not sure if talking about strike mission, or jerking off
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> WUT
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> hahahahaha
[17:00] <battuta> hahahaha
[17:00] <RangerKarl> same thing really, if you think about it

That was done by a subtitle image.

Re: Changing subtitle size?
I see. So the subtitle text size is fixed, then? Shouldn't be too difficult to make an image; thanks for the reply, General!

Re: Changing subtitle size?
You should also be able to use any of the fonts in fonts.tbl for text subtitles.  The default font01, font02, and font03 are all different sizes of the same characters.

Hello to all,

how would I go about changing the font for the subtitles?

I hope that's not too stupid a question...

Re: Changing subtitle size?
You would need to use FontTool, or ask someone who does.

This probably warrants its own tutorial.
