Game Text

[Rezeyu]

Just messing with text styles, I managed to copy the font (similar) style I use on my forums:



Just messing around, I might actually use it in the game, dunno.

EDIT:

Smexy. :wink:

I ended up moving the name under the player.

I don't like it under... but it keeps the names from getting cut off if the player goes to the top of the map.

I used to hid behind tree's at the top of the map during hide-and-go-seek events ingame :wink:

this pretty much switches that tactic to the bottom.

[Rezeyu]

Nope, that edit pic I posted, is me at the very bottom. My sprites are Blitted 16 pixels inwards, so they are in the center of the tile.

:wink:

You ruin a perfectly good game of hide and go seek

Wouldn't it be easier to just do a check and have it so the name stops moving when it hits 0?

That's what I do.

[Rezeyu]

Yeah but you're better with DirectX than I am.

:oops:

[Robin]

It doesn't move to the bottom of the character, just stops scrolling up when it hits 0.

Code:

If texty < 0 then
texty=0
end if

Looks cool but with lots of people together it might be a little too big
