A really interesting thread you won't want to miss.

Alright, alright... so I lied... so what?

I don't remember where I can find the console variables to edit the size and color of the fonts in Half-Life and Counter-Strike. If you know them (or where I can find them), will you share them with me?

Thanks,

valve/gfx/shell

Oh, thanks. I should have thought about that! But that's only for the colors and requires the direct editing of a text file. I know for a fact that there are actual console commands to adjust the text and color while in game.


Anybody know what those are?

A much-needed bump.

 

[EpsiIon]

Common, somebody has to know.

 

[EpsiIon]

Hmmm...

Well it seems that the color can be changed using con_color RRR GGG BBB, where RRR, GGG, and BBB are numbers from 0 to 255. Thanks to tweak3d.net.

Unfortunately, I STILL can't find the size variables...

size variables should be in your textscheme files

like tfc/1024_textscheme or however they spell it.

there are like 8 text files in each mod folder
now what you do is open that up and it should be there

here is a part of that file
// DEFAULT BUTTON TEXT
SchemeName = "Primary Button Text"
FontName = "Arial"
FontSize = 23
FgColor = "255 170 0 255"
BgColor = "0 0 0 141"
FgColorArmed = "255 255 255 255"
BgColorArmed = "255 170 0 67"

Hope this helps.

not all mods have it but its there in valve and tfc

OH!! *slaps forehead REALLY hard* DUH! I've seen those before, and I didn't bother going into them because I have the VGUI disabled in Counter-Strike. I didn't even think about the fact that the VGUI is still used for the scoreboard!.

Thanks a lot!

SUCK!!

Counter-Strike doesn't even use the textscheme files!!

AAARRRGGGHH!! I know there are console commands for these things!
