howdy

People seem experienced with hud editing in here, wanted to ask if it's possible/how to change the chat

  • font
  • font size
  • chat transparency
  • chat BOX transparency
  • chat BOX size (without actually making it cropped)

I've tried to edit these before asking, failed miserably, might even edited the wrong files
(clientscheme.res for font and fontsize, nothing changed, basechat.res for chat and chatbox, made them worse, gotta take a screenshot)

And to make it more interesting, wanna share how your chat/chatbox looks like? (they're all probably the same and i'm just wasting your time reading this)

appreciate any help and pointers given. :]

If you want to change size of font and font itself, I think you need to edit ChatScheme.res.

I'm not sure, but you can try in there if you want.

sorry for doublepost, bump reasons.

I basically took chatscheme.res and sourcescheme.res, tried something drastic:
took the "replace" tool, made it look for every "255", replaced it with "0", yet, NOTHING changed.

Was using broeselhud as a base, tried to edit the default hud using the github files that someone from this community hosted on, still no changes.

What sorcery is this? :(

Any help at all is appreciated, if any more info is needed, just let me know.

EDIT: Shit, wrong thread.

I'll hop on the bandwagon though, I was always interested in modifying chat's font. Is it possible?

day #10: still looking for a solution, running out of food, water and ideas, but I'm closer to my objective, I'll write a post about what I found related to chat/chatbox ui editing.
