David Brasher Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I don't think I have a font quite like that in my word-processor. I kind of think it doesn't really matter too much for your mod. If I were you, I would do one of two things: (1) Just pick a nice font that you already have that looks fancy and medieval and has lots of serifs. (2) Cut and paste letters from other signs to spell out what you want on your custom sign. There are so many signs in the game that they probably include most of the letters of the alphabet. This second option would have the advantage of preserving this font that you like so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfhound646 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I really wouldn't know, but maybe there is a "ready" font somewere in the CS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brasher Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Signs are not made with text in the CS. You have to go into Gimp or Photoshop and make a .dds image file, just as if you were re-texturing a sword or a piece of clothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merkur67 Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 Thanks David! I will take the letters by other signs. There are only two words.Thanks for the tip. I was not thinking of this method. Merkur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pronam Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Hm, I was going to create a PSD file with all letters a few months ago..but I forgot. :biggrin:. It's really annoying to create a vanilla look and having to use 5 different files just to get your letters. If you have any trouble, just send me a pm. I've done a few vanilla looking signs, I could do another without a problem.example 1 example 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minutegold Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Hm, I was going to create a PSD file with all letters...That would be a great modders resource. In the meantime I am going to use this free font. It is not perfect, but I am lazy and it is close enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
