The Player ID Icons and Text for Player ID and health information.
Text for Player ID and health information.
To change the size of the textfor the Player ID, go to the ClientScheme.res file, find the following section…
"TargetID"
{
"1"
{
"name" "Trebuchet MS"
"tall" "20"
"weight" "900"
"range" "0x0000 0x007F" //BasicLatin
"antialias" "1"
"additive" "0"
Change "tall" "20" to "tall" "14" , the text size will lower.
You can change the font type too if you wish, the top line is the font used, in this case "Trebuchet MS".
If you want a small font like mine in the download, it is...
"TargetID"
{
"1"
{
"name" "Trebuchet MS"
"tall" "10"
"weight" "900"
"range" "0x0000 0x007F" // Basic Latin
"antialias" "1"
"additive" "0"
But you can place a Font and a text size you wish... just experiment a bit :)
The Player ID Icons.
The Player overhead icons can be changed with a graphics program like Photoshop or The Gimp. You will have to know a little bit about working with VTF files, the plugin for Photoshop or the VTF to .TGA converter to even open them. It's not hard once you know how but I will not cover that in this Tutorial... maybe sometime in the future... it gets a bit involved :)
If you need a smaller Icon I have some here. The files are in dod\materials\sprites\player_icons, The files are called american.vtf and german.vtf.
The default size is 64x64 and these are 45x45 viewable graphics... still a standard 64x64 but with more of a invisible alpha channel/background. I think a good size for these is about the same size as the models head.
If you want another design...
