What you need to do is, Find the """English\""" _ENG.inc.
Don't edit these "Verdana" that is over or beneath, the green highlight.
Edit only these "Verdana" who are red highlighted.
*Replace the "Verdana" to "Arial"*

Hm, I never actualy knew this haha, thanks!

BTW: Does this only support windows standard fonts or also custom one's? (if I let them download it with the client)

Me neither, until I found it out ^^! No problems.
I didn't try that out. You should try to download custom one's and try it out. If you can, please come back with your answer ^^!

[RynoKabbage]

most of the time with fonts it will use any that are installed onto the machine.

[Hypocrite]

Thank you very much for this.

Well I am not sure. Today after school I going to try it out. It works with customs! I'll come back with my answer.

Thank you very much for this.

Oh! Thanks man. I am so happy when I get comments like this ^^

i already did that, u can use every font you want that is installed on your system, and u can even change the colors, border width, border color and font weight. although u can use differents fonts for chat, monster char info, and game infos (big font that appears on your screen if GM shouts anything or more).

what u need to do is checking the propLang.txt with your notepad (without wordwrap), and u will see there is more structure in it.

later when im back home, i can show u which value does what. but i didnt figure out every variable in that propLang.txt.

sadly on some fonts, they arent shown like in Word lol, due no anti aliasing.



what ever, i used to modify the propLang.txt when i was releasing my own theme for a flyff server. the only screenshot i can access atm:

dont ask for the server, its as good as dead. xD

lol i just see u can see the name of the flyff server in the screenshot, however the server doesnt use this theme. i released the theme in their forums in past, since the server supports moding texture files and all.
after some time i got banned just because i was talking truth about the lazyness and greedy ways of the admin and his ways, so my modifications for this server are down too.

however i will show u my propLang.txt with my added comments later =)

ps, gimme a like x)

Would you mind teaching me how you changed the colors?

/* propLang.txt - Description by VibeTribe

strings have to been put between three doublequotes ("""string""").
disable wordwrap to see the variables and commands on the right way.
value list got tabulator/space seperators.

KNOWN PARAM DESCRIPTION:
# labels on windows and panels including chat labels
window_labels		string <- fontname

# headlines on windows and numbers on task bar
window_titles		string <- fontname
window_titles_alpha	int(8) <- translucency
window_titles_redglow	int(8) <- red glow color
window_titles_greenglow	int(8) <- green glow color
window_titles_blueglow	int(8) <- blue glow color
window_titles_border	int(2) <- border width

# labels on enviroment including char names and screen messages outcluding server labels

char_prints_border	int(2) <- border width

# other
-> 'dont change' variables caused crashes on changing, changing on your own risk
-> flags had weird effects, it actually fucks the graphic engine if set wrong, changing on your own risk
-> unknown variables can change any other fonts, didnt test it, try yourself, some didnt change anything

oh yes, u can even change the translucency, but i guess i was wrong with the font that appears on any server alerts (server labels).
although as i see again u can change only the glow colors (borders), the font itself stays white.

however, have fun with it.

Can I add a font that is not pre-installed with windows?

[שเ๒єtгเ๒є]

Can I add a font that is not pre-installed with windows?

yes, if u make sure it gets installed. the fonts are located in %WINDIR%\Fonts.
The easiest way would be to let the patcher check if the font is installed, and if not it just downloads the font from your server and puts it into the Font folder. additional the font could get installed by any local path like the flyff folder.

so it must be installed on the system, but to implement a font installer is very easy.
