Post by: TheAce on July 29, 2003, 08:57 AM
Well, i thought of adding a preview thing onto my bot so i need the d2 in chat font (not the exocet one), anyone has it? or could plz make a font file from it? the font is stored into d2data.mpq/data/local/font/latin/fontformal10.dc6

The font is called "Avalon Quest" (atleast I think), and you can probably do a google font search to find it. If not, drop your e-mail, and I can send it to you.

uhhh, just get a mpq viewer and view the font in
d2data.mpq/data/local/font/latin/fontformal10.dc6

i belive there is a topic on this forum about mpq viewers if i'm correct, all ya have to do is search for it.

but i wouldn't know how to make the font into a font file to put in c:\WINDOWS\FONTS\

I'm just curious, but what would a preview thing in a bot do? It doesn't seem to me like I'd often care enough about a message I'm typing in channel to want to preview what it's going to look like on a real client...

If you've been to the public D2/LOD channels, they have nicely formatted "For-Trade" and "For-Sale" item messages in multicolor.  There's one reason.

Someone should make a rule against asking for help with spam software on this forum...
