AGEOD Forums

Just thought I would post this in the main forum as it might have gone missing in the beta forum -
mainly as I think it would improve the look of WiA's full text events - and might also improve them for other games and be an easy change to make?

Full event texts look a bit sloppy :-




A couple of small changes would line the text up a bit better.
Moving the header text down a little to avoid the clash with the date.
Aligning the main text to the top of the image and making its margin similar in size to the text below the image :-



Cheers, Chris

Can you please send/post the file you changed?

I'll put it "in" for next patch...

Hi Lodi, I didn't actually change any files - just used Paint.NET to alter the image to show how I hope a change might look

Cheers, Chris

I'm getting better with Paint.NET - but there were a few tell-tail signs if you look at the image closely

Well, if you wish to tinker, try fiddling with coordinates in EventWindow.fte located in /WIA/FrontEnd

Caption0 = 0|193|0 // title coordinate (x centered)
Caption1 = 0|193|0 // title coordinate, Renforcement event
Caption2 = 80|240|0 // first line of text coordinate, standard event without image
Caption3 = 280|260|0 // first line of text coordinate, standard event with landscape image
Caption4 = 280|260|0 // first line of text coordinate, standard event with portrait image
Caption5 = 80|240|0 // first line of text coordinate, Renforcement event
Various6 = 43|230|0 // coordinate of the flavor image, if any, standard event
Various7 = 40|185|0 // Date position

Perhaps you can tell me how to know the color of a particular pixel, without having to click on it with the pipette tool, then open the color dialog and see the RGB values? There must be something more handy than that ... Good old Paint shop pro would show you the color you where over in the bottom bar of the app.

Beyond my knowledge I'm afraid

Try this:

Extract into \WIA directory. 1 file overwritten (EventWindow.fte )

Lodi - it's perfect!




Thanks, Chris
