The Title Bar Image (Rennibister)

dragonbait · Post by **dragonbait** » Mon Jun 25, 2007 3:15 pm

EDITED:

For making your own title bar image you will need
an image
Sample image is below in case any future modders want to follow along.

You can use this title image from Rickstavern
http://home.comcast.net/~tavernx/images/titlebar.bmp

You can use Celtic Garamond the 2nd type font. (most realistic Rennibister font)

Make sure that when you have your text where you want it, then flip the image vertically and save it as a .JPG

Now your ready to use the Texmake program. You can read all about that in Rickstavern's "Very Simple Texture Creation" thread also within the mods discussion area. Go to your command prompt and change your directory to access the textures folder within your Devil Whiskey Tools. Then run the texmake program. the line will look something like this.

Code: Select all

texmake xttitle.dat xttitle.jpg NULL

replacing xttitle with the name of your title image

Once you have your newly created .DAT file, place the .DAT file in your pics/other folder.

Then add your file to the end of the first line of your configuration file and you should be all set.

example of the first line of my configuration file

Code: Select all

xtlevel5 25 25 pics/walls/xttile2.dat pics/walls/xttile2.dat pics/other/xttitle.dat

OK.I got the height 4 ceilings working fairly well. and my first effort at creating the title image came out alright. Needs a little work but OK so far.

There is a font called Celtic Garamond the 2nd that is similar to the DW font.

For this one I used the sample with the Celtic Garamond the 2nd font.

I think if you put the title all in caps, it looks even better.

Here is the title image that I used. It it very close to the original and looks pretty good.

use this and your title images will look clearer and won't be quite so squished as soom of those appear.

that's a nice title image. I'll go back in and use that later tonight. The file still needs to be altered to 400x200 when puting the title through texmake right? or does it matter?

Err... size does not matter? Seriously, just add your text to it as it currently appears then use texmake. I think that you still have to invert the finale image before you use texmake though.

Well I'll be darned. size really doesn't matter

Still have to flip it vertically though.
