Ported font code from Doom3 BFG Edition


Zbyl

Recommended Posts

I've implemented generation of fake old .dat files during creation of a BFG font, but it turns out they won't be good enough to use in the GUI editor.

It turned out that generation of scaled fonts is a complex task. Even more difficult considering that they have to satisfy additional constraints that Doom 3 BFG impose.

In other words - too much work to be worth the effort.

Update on my work:

- Unicode language files work ok,

- BFG fonts now render similarily as the old fonts. It's not pixel perfect, but close.

- I've created a tool to create BFG fonts (https://github.com/Zbyl/BFGFontTool). It has some support for porting old Doom 3 fonts to new Doom 3 BFG fonts.

 

The code is not entirely final, but since the interest in those features is low my work on this is done for now.

If anyone will be interested in this code - let me know.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.
