I used to map alot and was and still am a very experienced mapper, and my squad has asked me to make a squadmap. I have, and went looking for a sick font to be used so I could put it in big letters. I find a nice font that I like, and so I start up FACTS. Unfortunaetely, it's not working.. I redownloaded it.. still not working..

I don't map much anymore, so if someone could maybe FACTS the font for me that'd be much appreciated.. No point in fixing FACTS if I will never use it again

Are you getting any error messages (like missing dll)?

Note: Just saying that things don't work won't help you or us any further - post more information about the program not working.

Note 2: Just asking if someone could do something for you won't help you or us any further - post more information what you want done exactly (what font, what text, where on the map, etc).

Absolutly, I was about to say it...
The TextToMap feature allows you to write stuff in big letters, in any font / style you want.
Download it here

Sorry.. when I posted this I was crazy tired.. I've been gettign like 4 hours of sleep revery day and running 7-8k in the morning zzz

If someone would do the work for me I'd aprreciate it, I need someone to do the word "Savior" in big letetrs. The font I want used is called Ghastly Panic. If you go to www.1001fonts.com you can find it there.. I think it's under the top 10. I'd also like one big $ sign (that is jsut an outline.. not filled in if possible) that is whatever font you want.. I just want it to be big and bold so I can make a race out of it.

When I try to run FACTS it says.. "Component 'COMDLG32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not crrectly registered: a file is missing or invalid." I've no idea what this means.. and I like tot hink I'm good with computers too :<

or just download DCME and do it... see the link in my previous post
however, DCME might need that COMDLG32.ocx file too anyway... but you can find it easily with google.
Once you downloaded it, put the file in your c:\windows\system32\ directory and it should work

Sama, you should include all the dll's that DCME uses in DCME's distribution, just in case the user doesn't have them.

last time Drake built a complete package with VB, it created a huge 6 MB setup file... it's not really worth it tongue.gif
but seeing mscomdlg32 and msinet are the only 2 things we had issues on..we might just give these 2 with the program (or have the program check if they exist and provide direct download links if not)

my link works fine... it's a link to ssforum ; maybe you need an account to download the actual thing however... here's a post on this forum with DCME attached:
http://forums.minegoboom.com/viewtopic.php?t=6625


and see that: it took me 2 minutes ... and if you're not happy with it being written with tile 1, then you'll need DCME to switch / replace tiles anyway... (CLT can do it too, but not SSME)

Oh lol.. sorry new to these forums :/

I like the preview, thanks alot, but when I try and d/l the SSME file it says its not a 256 bit color thing or something. And I downloaded DCME, looks kinda complicated and I tried text to map.. but cant find my font even tho i d/led it

you have to place your font in c:\windows\fonts if you want it to work... it worked for me here

and for it to work with SSME... hmm tileset might not have been saved as 256bit... i'll fix attachment right now
edit: you can try it again, it should open with SSME
and dcme might look more complicated.. but its just that you can do so much more stuff with it.... it's like comparing Photoshop with MSPaint tongue.gif

Aight thanks alot Samapico, I got it done w/ the font I asked and stuff. The only thing I don't like about DCME is the way the slider bars are set. It's jsut a little funny for me. And the fact that it seems that everything I map in it doesn't seem to save more then once -_-

But I got it done thats all that matters, thanks guys
