A quest about nametag

[Spyke25]

Hi all, I have this type of nametag :

But i would to have this :

Cause is more simple, and i like it

My code is this :

nametag = {} 
local nametags = {} 
local g_screenX,g_screenY = guiGetScreenSize() 
local bHideNametags = false 
  
local NAMETAG_SCALE = 0.3 --Overall adjustment of the nametag, use this to resize but constrain proportions 
local NAMETAG_ALPHA_DISTANCE = 50 --Distance to start fading out 
local NAMETAG_DISTANCE = 120 --Distance until we're gone 
local NAMETAG_ALPHA = 120 --The overall alpha level of the nametag 
--The following arent actual pixel measurements, they're just proportional constraints 
local NAMETAG_TEXT_BAR_SPACE = 2 
local NAMETAG_WIDTH = 50 
local NAMETAG_HEIGHT = 5 
local NAMETAG_TEXTSIZE = 0.3 
local NAMETAG_OUTLINE_THICKNESS = 1.2 
-- 
local NAMETAG_ALPHA_DIFF = NAMETAG_DISTANCE - NAMETAG_ALPHA_DISTANCE 
NAMETAG_SCALE = 1/NAMETAG_SCALE * 800 / g_screenY 
  
-- Ensure the name tag doesn't get too big 
local maxScaleCurve = { {0, 0}, {3, 3}, {13, 5} } 
-- Ensure the text doesn't get too small/unreadable 
local textScaleCurve = { {0, 0.8}, {0.8, 1.2}, {99, 99} } 
-- Make the text a bit brighter and fade more gradually 
local textAlphaCurve = { {0, 0}, {25, 100}, {120, 190}, {255, 190} } 
  
function nametag.create ( player ) 
    nametags[player] = true 
end 
  
function nametag.destroy ( player ) 
    nametags[player] = nil 
end 
  
---------------THE FOLLOWING IS THE MANAGEMENT OF NAMETAGS-----------------

Someone can replace my current type font with this?

Thank you all

Steps.

1. Ctrl + F

2. Go to "Replace"

3. Write "bankgothic" on the first edit line

4. Write "tahoma", "arial", or "verdana",

5. Press "Replace All"

6. Ctrl + S

7. Test it. If you don't like it, repeat from step 4 to this

Man, i mean on the server, not a personal thing, so i need to edit nametag.lua

Edit : ok i have understand

[Spyke25]

How i can make it bold?

How i can make it appear on my car too?

[12p]

BOLD? You cannot unless you give your server a custom font.

It should already appear on your car.

[Spyke25]

Look this :

is from ffs this server have a bold nametag, how to set it?

And, no i havent the name up my car i only see the name up the other cars

dxDrawText fonts:

"default": Tahoma 
"default-bold": Tahoma Bold 
"clear": Verdana 
"arial": Arial 
"sans": Microsoft Sans Serif 
"pricedown": Pricedown (GTA's theme text) 
"bankgothic": Bank Gothic Medium 
"diploma": Diploma Regular 
"beckett": Beckett Regular 
  
 

If you want to create your own font, use

dxCreatefont

And, no i havent the name up my car i only see the name up the other cars

Oh, you meant that.

Search on your script for "onClientRender", replace the following

for i,player in ipairs(g_Players) do 
        if player ~= g_Me then 
                setPlayerNametagShowing ( player, false ) 
                if not nametags[player] then 
                    nametag.create ( player ) 
                end 
        end 
end 

By this

for i,player in ipairs(g_Players) do 
                setPlayerNametagShowing ( player, false ) 
                if not nametags[player] then 
                    nametag.create ( player ) 
                end 
        end

Thanks a lot guys!
