Hi. I am wondering which game file is being overwritten when Risen Custom Font Installed is run http://www.worldofrisen.de/download_62.htm. I mean risen has to have some file , that contains game font. I ask because I want to create a mod, that replaces Risen font with original Gothic Notr font.

???

Okay, I got it - it's under Risen/data/common/gui2/fonts/ QUORUMM.ttf

I have replaced the font, but I cannot force game engine to load my font, even if I place my own font file in the exactly same place and rename it to "QUORUMM"...

There is also some file called compiledfonts.bin ( under library.PAK ) - but I don't know how to edit it

Can somebody help me with this ? Maybe JFaron - I have spotted, that he has succesfully replaced a font in his Risen Anti Aliasing mod

[JFaron]

I've never done such a mod, sorry. (Lorn is the author of the mod you linked )

However, I remember someone asked for that before. Its probably somewhere here in the forum

raw/gui2/fonts?

[CzarnyAfgan]

Kuchi - did you mean common/gui2/fonts?

I just wrote to Lorn, maybe he could help me.

[JFaron]

He meant what I wrote. Try exporting the fonts using ScriptLibrary.

[CzarnyAfgan]

Okay, fonts library already exported. I have eight text files there with .xfnt extensions ( i opened them with notepad ). Looks like every one of them defines size and type of the font used in certain part of game - but I have no hell idea how to force game to load my font. I have chosen a Tahoma font for the tests and I change the FaceName="Tahoma" in every file, but that makes no effect...

Like the Americans used to say... SHIT

There's a tool here somewhere. Ah yes, here it is. It's easier to do it with that tool. Just select a font and it should create the necessary files for Risen to load it.

[CzarnyAfgan]

Lorn - yeah, I know that already - I just want to make it in a form of mod to share with others.

So could you help me with that ?

[|Lorn|]

Oh right, sorry. Well the tool should create two folders. One in data/common (gui2) where the actual font is being copied to and one in data/compiled (library). Just pack both of them in paks (.p0x) and you should be good to go.

[CzarnyAfgan]

Okay, I will try it, thanks.

Edit: I have tried it and I think it's pointless, looks like that CustomFontInstaller places one gui2 file into data/common , but this file is not enough ( so it there must be also some other file, that I cannot find ). I could write to Lord of War and ask him how the programm exactly works, but now I think, that my idea is pointless. I dropped the idea, I will just upload two version of fonts to choose from, with simple tutorial how to install them.

hi how did you open compiled_fonts what program you use i want to change font size of game Risen

[Kuchenschlachter]

You don't open compiled_fints.bin. Risen can export the content of this and similar files as human readable files through Script_library.dll. Search Script_library i hope the description is in english.
The command you are looking for is "library export fonts".
