One way or the other when will finish this current arc we are on , then could we perhaps run Faultline before we pass level 25 ? Just a suggestion . See all those that can make it at 7pm c.s.t

Might have someone else to join our team tonight . Found a request on the message boards for someone looking for a SG , he has a tank lvl 36 though , but I told him to either PM Philly or myself or just send a tell to Gleam or Ker'os tonight to check us out .

Feel free to recruit to the team and SG. Lord knows I need the help in finding new talent.

Ke'ros Blog :

Weird night to say the least . Can't believe Gleaming Bolt slapped me like that , but I will deal with him soon enough .

My plan to convince the team that Gleaming Bolt and Unaitus were not who they say they were , seems to be going well though Imp questioned my logic on the matter . What does that street urchin even know about anything ?

I need to work harder to get this team on a different path . They are strong enough to possible deal with the Coming Storm , but if I can cause doubt and dissension within , having the team question loyalties and friendships , it will make Rulaau's eventual overtaking of this miserable planet all the more easier .

i think you are!

and, is Ke'ros' Celestial patron...Rularuu?!

is KE'ROS actually the one who's been replaced?

or does Rularuu simply have a vested interest in ALSO defeating whatever mysterious enemy this team has been formed to stop?

tune in next week! same Celestial time, same Celestial channel!

Curses! If only my incredibly short-sighted, brash, and unenlightened biker were there, she'd see right through-

Um, nevermind. As you were...


Ice/Ice Blaster. Dedication to concept is an ugly thing.
Claws/WP Brute. Sex without the angst.
Every CoX character lies somewhere on this spectrum.

Can't wait for Wednesday to see what happens next

Custom Fonts Revisted

Right, I forgot to update about the fonts.

So the three fonts used are:

mont_demibold (i think this is for general txt)
mont_hvbold (i think this is for targetting)
verdana (i think this is for chat bubbles)
redcircl (for damage numbers and various headings)

so i replaced those four with:

Comick Book
Comic Sans Bold
Comic Sans Bold
Badaboom

in the data folder, make a new folder called fonts. in the fonts folder, just put in whatever fonts you want and rename them to the fonts that the game is looking for.

so, i renamed comick book to mont_demibold and put it in the folder and the game uses that font instead.

very fun!

Comic Sans?? Ick. Comic Sans is such an awkward and clumsily styled font. Have you tried any of the free comic-style fonts out there on the web? I use BadaBOOM in place of the Red Circle font (Red Circle is the titles font and is also used for damage numbers in combat), and a slightly tweaked version of Rockwell (this font) to make the numeral 1 different from the lower case "L" (in the Rockwell font, they are identical but separate glyphs).

nah, i like Comic Sans just fine. =) i actually learned about the ability to do this from an anti-comic sans thread. i have no interest in typography wars and have yet to find another free alternative that i find to be as pleasing as Comic Sans.

of course, everyone is free to use whatever font they like once they know how to do it.

so the damage numbers are: RedCircl

is that right? is that the filename? just so i can replace it. and what do you mean by "titles font?" what titles? like the character titles, "Amazing, Incredible," those?

thanks for the BADABOOM recommendation! it goes nicely! if you have any other recs i'd love to hear em. most of the fonts don't seem to have everything i need or aren't fun enough.

Hey, Nicodemus,

If that's the case, just let me know. I have font editing software and have already created a handful of fonts for myself, for other applications (not the game), and as I mentioned before, I used it to tweak the Rockwell font to differentiate the numeral "1" from lower-case letter "L" for clarity. I think I could very easily modify an existing font if you needed it, whether it be adding more glyphs/characters, modifying particular characters themselves, changing obliqueness (slant) or weight

Oh, sorry for the confusion. By "titles", I was referring to power names on the character creation screen. That font is Red Circle (or one of its variants, e.g., italic).

yeah corva, that's a great idea! CoH could really use more full featured and free comic fonts that will work for the game.

I've always wanted to try out Komika Text, but the capital I and lowercase L look the same (and the One is a bit close as well), so it's a no go.

http://www.dafont.com/komika-text.font

Do you think you could do something with that font? I would love it in regular and Bold if possible, then I could probably replace Comic Sans.

thanks so much for the offer!

I actually dig that the capital I and lower case L look alike in game. I have a character named MIDI, but I couldn't use the capital I's for his name, so I replaced them with lowercase L's. It looks right to me
