Camo Pipboy & New Fonts?
Not the character but the interface. I've done a camouflage... wash, I suppose you could call it, for the interface for FOT anyone interested?
Also I'd love to change the fonts to Serifa Th BT, I can swap them with the fonts from the demo or enlarge them but I can't create new ones . The fonts must have an alpha channel or something as when I try and make new font files they don't show up. Unfortunately Corel won't allow a png to be saved with an alpha channel, has anyone with photoshop tried creating new font files?

You can try sending it to JJ86@nma-fallout.com. I have been having some problems accessing the account though.

Heh, i'm trying to make up new fonts too (well, named the same as the old ones, but different gfx).
I'm using GIMP... and it appears that the .png *looks* like it's just alpha. But I noticed that inbetween each character is a completly blank line. On further investigation, strangely enough, that blank line is actually hot-pink colored (r:255, g:0, b:255).
So it's all weirded out. I looked at the file with Paint Shop Pro v5 (the one i've been using forever) and it shows the pink lines but nothing inside (it has problems with alpha channels apparently).
Im guessing these are .png files with multiple layers, even though it doesn't show up as such. And that the lowest layer (that of the text) contains an alpha channel.
weird... very weird.
and it pisses me off 'cause i'm tired of the fallout computer-terminal font

I don't think the colour of the lines is important, just the spacing and number. I've inverted the colours etc and still got the fonts to work, it's replacing them entirely that I'm having problems with. Grr other games use pngs to generate fonts but they all have them in several rows rather than a long strip so I can't just swap them.

I've just been going through my old magazine cover disks to see if there was anything worth keeping and found a preview copy of photoshop 6 so I'll give that a go. Can't make sprites though, I can make the raw files now, but not the act files, when I save as .act instead of .pal and import it into spray it all goes greyscale.
Edit
Just found this old post by Viruz Does anyone know if he ever released any of the new fonts? (assuming that Viruz was successful) Otherwise is there anyone with a proper copy of photoshop willing to give this a go? If so can you make the small fonts as Serifa Th BT or Serifa BT and the large font as a military stencil i.e. USAAF Stencil or the Dirty Dozen font please. I'm not having any luck with the evaluation copy of photoshop 6.

I made this font last night from the X-files font. Not exactly perfect, there are some characters that show up where they shouldn't.

Jumbled? Hmm, then it isn't the right font that I uploaded. The first one I did, the characters were two off but I fixed that. I must have uploaded the previous unfixed version.
