.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

Im making something and have been for a while and its nearly finished. its pretty damn cool i reacon one of the best things i have done.

i need someone who knows how to make thinhgs look good. I need someone who knowns any image software they like of by heart and can work it. ive had loads and loads in the past tlel me they can make amean image and then send it , it loks great but in game it totaly is not what i need. Its not transparent.


What i need is some text that appears through use of hud on the screen of the player. I want only the text visible and the rest transparent so they can still see the game.


i managed to make some image/text appear with the backround non visible but the meathod i used i cant get any coloour and as u can see the text looks not good.

example attached.

i dont want to just tell everyone what im workin on, all i need is 5 images, 5 bits of text that look nice with transparent backround. if you could post an example to prove u could do it it would be great:D

Well the pic defines nothing...

Do you want a text defined per user ( like: you are last in the stats, shape up! )?

Or do you want a text defined at a location ( seen by all users under that particular arch )?

Hi there , u wanted images right?, or maybe u wanted a serverside hudtext-experiment with the standard ingame-fonts?
Well here is a photoshop-creation/test (dunno which style u r looking for) , tell me if u like it and I?ll try to help u out.

Ric-Hard, that looks exactly what i am looking for!!!!. any of them text styles look ok.

i shall be contacting u:)

to blow this way offtopic since i know it's been attended to, Ric your Stalingrad pic has various things on it about Axis and Allied medics and pressing USE to call a medic toward you... is this a released mod? if so i'd love to have a d/l link

Hi Lizardkid,
the medic-script is pretty much finished but I need to make more pth-files , I want it to support all the stockmaps (except Snowy Park) before I release it, however I released an early test/beta for Stalingrad some time ago, u can find it here: /forum/viewtopic.php?t=8587
sofar Iv? made pths for:
The Hunt
V2
Stalingrad
Remagen (new gametype, kill the other teams medic to win)
Algiers
Stalingrad 3
Mohdust (new gametype, kill the other teams medic to win)

Ric-hard wrote:(except Snowy Park)

Why not snowy park? If you are doing the rest of them I mean...

Hi Bjarne, hehe did I really write that, must have been a spontaneous reaction
Well Im really allergic to Snowy Park, and I havent met many others who likes it, and its a hell of a job to make pths, but who knows I might do it if Im really bored someday.
I made a little test for fun and sorted 18 players who played Snowy Park amongst 2500 servers on Gamespy, I guess that tells pretty much about how the community feels about that map.

Btw, here is the the the final pics for the hud

cant blame you on Snowy Park.. the fps on it really suck. even on good comps. on mine (1 gig RAM and crappy MX 4000 vid card) it gets about 5-10 fps average. wich makes for impossible sniping (wich is pretty much what it was designed for) and almost worse reaction times.

well if you leave the farplane alone then it would be better and that is what it is designed for or maybe you are useing a hack on someones elses server ?

if you were talking to me...

no, it's all stock. i have a 64 mb nVidia MX 4000. that's fairly crappy. i'm upgrading soon...

i even have lag troubles when staring from the doorways from Allied spawn into Allied spawn. my fps hits maybe... oh... 5-15. i think it's all that foliage crapping out my vid card. trying to find out where to draw stuff... etc etc.
