Minor issue.

I've been testing my friend's server and I just found an "issue". Not sure if this should be labelled as an issue, though...

The text in the whole game seems to be much bigger and wider than in any versions I've played so far. No, this isn't in connection with resolution diff.
I always use 1280 x 1024 on my old monitor.

Just take a quick look at the texts on both pictures, please.

The first picture is from 9DPK.com and the second one is from my friend's server. Compare the texts. The second one has much more space between the letters therefore it takes up more room hence it looks much wider and bigger. Its height is also a little bigger I think. Why can it be? How can I change it back to the way it is on 9DPK.com? What files/lines should be changed?

Thanks.

First pic is a US / UK client

Second pic is a VN / KR client

You will need the client source to change the font (VN/KR uses different fonts than us/uk due to thier language's alphabetical characters)

if u mean which part of the source you will find it in emprorofdragons.cpp.

if u mean something else you need the source the client got compiled from

wish life was easier than that.

you cannot cause of many things :

1. different locale code

2. if my assumption is right and ur friend is running VN server side then the client wont be synced with the server files

3. if im not wrong VN is using hack shield and i belive US is using Game Guard,

if u some how managed to pass all of that you might get the font u looking for.

Good Luck.

How to change karma / kill server side btw?

About font. Weren't there *_FONT.XP file in SCR_BASE or some other file? Not sure about the prefix, though.

And about karma per kill. I'm actually looking for that. I've found about the fame_ref file, where you can set the karma required for titles. Let me look for that for a bit more.

edit: probably effect_pvp_apply, last 3 lines (except end_script ofc)

And, of course, path:/GS/nfofile

Well I'm sure it's not in scr_base because I'm already using 9DPK's scr_base on the server and the font type is still not the same.

Client_folder\Data\Texture\TR_XFONT.XP

What about that file?

And why didn't you check other things? I'm not sure about them, so y'know.

I don't always take a fat person's advice but now I'll have to make an exception.

I don't mind calling me fat person (somehow it's true), dumbass. Tell me if it's working or not.

Yeah, it worked, fat boy. Thanks.
