Font changing

[Sex*]

So i got this script and its got another font at mapinfo and stuff but in loadingscreen the font is bankgothic, so i changed font to mine but it still is in bankgothic font...

font1 = dxCreateFont("font.ttf", 18) 
  

    g_dxGUI['travelText4'] = dxText:create('', screenWidth/2, screenHeight/2-70, false, font1, 0.70, 'center' ) 

In other text the font works like this:

dxDrawColorText ('#FF4000FPS: #FFFFFF??', 2, screenHeight - dxGetFontHeight(3.00, font1)/2, 100, 100, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), 0.48, font1, 0.48, 'left')

the dxText library doesn't support custom fonts if I'm right.

[Baseplate]

the dxText library doesn't support custom fonts if I'm right.

This function creates a DX font element that can be used in dxDrawText. Successful font creation is not guaranteed, and may fail due to hardware or memory limitations.

DxDrawColorText supports then. But how to make so it would be the same height and stuff?

Something....But check if im right:

g_dxGUI['travelText4'] = dxDrawColorText ('', 2, screenHeight - dxGetFontHeight(2.00, font1)/2, 100, 100, tocolor ( 255, 50, 0, 255 ), 0.70, font1, 0.70, 'center') 

In this way it would be right and work?

I'm not talking about the MTA DX functions, I'm talking about the dxText library used for race.

But would this work then?

You can put the 'colorCoded' argument to true in the dxDrawText function to enable color codes.

It won't work just like that, you should add custom fonts in the dxText library.

[Sex*]

But it works at the other text...

--mapdisplaytitle = dxText:create('Map: ', 3, screenHeight - dxGetFontHeight(scale, 'bankgothic')/2, false, 'bankgothic', scale, 'left'), 
  

dxDrawColorText ('#FF4000Map: #ffffFF' .. g_MapInfo.name, 2, screenHeight - dxGetFontHeight(2.00, font1)/2, 100, 100, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), 0.48, font1, 0.48, 'left') 
else 
dxDrawColorText ('#FF4000Map: #ffffFFNo map is set yet', 2, screenHeight - dxGetFontHeight(2.00, font1)/2, 100, 100, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), 0.48, font1, 0.48, 'left') 
end 
  

So its got to work with that also! And its in the same file!

"dxDrawColorText" isn't the same as DxText lib.

[Sex*]

BUT HOW ITS WORKING THEN WITH dxText!?!

[Castillo]

It's because is not just dxDrawText.

[Sex*]

And where i can modify the dxText library then?

[Anderl]

Race resource - "textlib.lua".

[Sex*]

And what i have to modify there??

você adicionando isso no "textlib.lua" você vai poder user "dxDrawColorText"

  
function dxDrawColorText(str, ax, ay, bx, by, color, scale, font, alignX, alignY) 
  
  if alignX then 
    if alignX == "center" then 
      local w = dxGetTextWidth(str:gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x",""), scale, font) 
      ax = ax + (bx-ax)/2 - w/2 
    elseif alignX == "right" then 
      local w = dxGetTextWidth(str:gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x",""), scale, font) 
      ax = bx - w 
    end 
  end 
  
  if alignY then 
    if alignY == "center" then 
      local h = dxGetFontHeight(scale, font) 
      ay = ay + (by-ay)/2 - h/2 
    elseif alignY == "bottom" then 
      local h = dxGetFontHeight(scale, font) 
      ay = by - h 
    end 
  end 
  
  local pat = "(.-)#(%x%x%x%x%x%x)" 
  local s, e, cap, col = str:find(pat, 1) 
  local last = 1 
  while s do 
    if cap == "" and col then color = tocolor(tonumber("0x"..col:sub(1, 2)), tonumber("0x"..col:sub(3, 4)), tonumber("0x"..col:sub(5, 6)), 255) end 
    if s ~= 1 or cap ~= "" then 
      local w = dxGetTextWidth(cap, scale, font) 
      dxDrawText(cap, ax, ay, ax + w, by, color, scale, font) 
      ax = ax + w 
      color = tocolor(tonumber("0x"..col:sub(1, 2)), tonumber("0x"..col:sub(3, 4)), tonumber("0x"..col:sub(5, 6)), 255) 
    end 
    last = e + 1 
    s, e, cap, col = str:find(pat, last) 
  end 
  if last <= #str then 
    cap = str:sub(last) 
    local w = dxGetTextWidth(cap, scale, font) 
    dxDrawText(cap, ax, ay, ax + w, by, color, scale, font) 
  end 
end

@ZL|LuCaS,

Speak English in the English forums.

@Sex*,

You can check my drift resource. I used dxText lib and it supports custom fonts. Just the the textlib.lua from there.

    dxDrawText(cap, ax, ay, ax + w, by, color, scale, font)

end 

That has completely nothing to do with what he wants, and dxDrawText already supports color codes.

best to explain it.
