Login Script

Animayz · September 2011

So after my pathetic first login mod, I decided to move the login box. Which I did. It's semi-working. However, there's one part in the LogIn.txt that I don't understand.

"EDIT EditLoginID
-POSITIONX 121
-POSITIONY 262
-WIDTH 136
-HEIGHT 16
--FONTNAME MSG=846
--FONTSIZE 8
--FONTBOLD FALSE
--FONTITALIC FALSE
--FONTFORMAT DT_LEFT
--FONTFORMAT DT_VCENTER
--OUTLINE FALSE
--NUMBERONLY FALSE
--OUTLINECOLOR 141148156
--FONTCOLOR 255255255
-END"

Where exactly does "846" come from?

Shanks.

I don't think you have to worry about that.... As far as I know, all you need to do is work with the Position X and Position Y.

I recommend using Paint.Net and at the bottom right corner, you see coordinates of where your cursor is at on the picture. So just map out where you want the log-in buttons and text boxes to be in.

You don't need to understand the font bit. You don't need to change it, all it does is load in the 'default' font file from the fonts folder.

Although there's nothing to stop someone from changing it to a proper .tff font name.

The part dealing with the font is basically the coding which tells the game the font that will be used in the text.

I'm guessing either the strange blank coding of it or replicating button images.

Don't worry about it, but usually FONT MSG might represent "message length". In other words, character length. Of course I'm only speaking from my web coding knowledge. I don't know if it's the same in crossfire scripting.

It's either that or it's to bring up a stored data as variable "846". Of course I'm just taking stabs in the dark.
