Armagetron Forums

pardon my late night spelling mistakes.

Well, it can be done with the .png files, but it's a mess, and doesn't seem like it worth while... Maybe with some coding for chat as Lucifer suggested it would be worth it. For now, Ill go for <plan B>: Write some good Hebrew tutorials. Build a nice site to introduce Arma. And, host some local serv...

Well, hi again. In short. Uninstalled 3.0. (got buggy...oh, the dots on the hud-map moving towards the edge of the screen are server dependant - on norm's no dots, on swam dots) installed 0.2.8.1 and started working on font.png and for the menus it should work... tweaking it with gimp, seems fine fo...

Ok. Thanks again for the help. A wierd occurance - When I save the English_base language file as Unicode what happens is I get the main menu like this: "Game_menu_txt player_setup_txt... ...etc." It seems it puts the variable names instead of their parameters. I find that wierd. If I chang...

Thanks, A bit frustrating. I've tried quite a few hebrew ttf fonts and open type fonts. Right now I've got it using Tahoma font, which was recommended as part of the Hebrew Ubuntu tutorial. Ok. Hope this thread isnt too frustrating to you readers, but, I want to get this project going, and running -...

just wanted
to update - got the font files.png opened in gimp

The thing is - I can't see how they work together...with the .ttf files
since it seems the .ttf files - at least armagetronad.ttf is used solely.

oh, well...going to find some docs, if they're outthere for the 3.0 scheme of things.

Ahh

forgot to mention:

I only changed the ttf files since I can't seem to read the png files.

Would they be my solution....

Photoshop cs2/corel painter x can't seem to read them, as they are grey scale png with alpha channel.

maybe gimp?

thanks again

Well, I've been working on changing the english_base file (in languages)... Also changed the Armagetronad.ttf file to a ttf file that should support hebrew, I save the English_base file as utf-8 which has gotten me as close to solution yet.. then I get the english menu fine but the hebrew chars appe...

First off... Over the years I've found that one of the only "real" games, I can truly play on older machines is Arma. So, Wanted to Congrats you all for this 3.0 version. Well, it took me less than 3 min.'s +\- to download/install over the 2.8 version, and have a run. All worked out pretty...

Now, I've got a lead to work with.

I'll be sure to update.

thanks

Thanks for the quick reply.

I assume it wouldnt work right, off the bat

chat for sure.

but i t is worth a try.

A pointer to a faq\tutorial on translating arma would be nice, Ill go search it out.

thanks.

Hiya all. Well, subject says most of it. Hebrew (as Arabic) would require right-to-left and a supporting font. Not sure how much of it really needs to be translated, probably at first - all the stuff a 10 year old noob would need to get started. Might do some good for driving (horrible) in Israel. C...

Thanks guys. Will go check 'em out. Being away from bits and bandwidth for a few years (more or less - I'm sure something unimaginable by some) - I, on the one hand, get this dorky excitement from bitty stuff and, on the other get this longing for... well, I get this picture of a simple man back aga...

Well, hey.

Veteran Arma player here.

Anything else outthere that rings your bells?

tnx.

We could use a server log, as a basis for an independent replay server. an http address associated with a certain game(server) etc... Where u can get lots of replays (flash?) in boxes similar to next-gen security installations...then extract the replays you wish to save/enhance. Could be relevant fo...
