[EpicPlayer]

I'm not sure what you mean...
Other players won't be able to see it anyways.
(unless they have the file)

TNX EpicPlayer ؛ I know

baw
source code for create font in game
also

i found a GSC for this project
but not sure right and
also what i use it

static const char *g_he_font[] =
{
	"default",		// HE_FONT_DEFAULT
	"bigfixed",		// HE_FONT_BIGFIXED
	"smallfixed",	// HE_FONT_SMALLFIXED
	"objective",	// HE_FONT_OBJECTIVE
};


// These values correspond to the defines in q_shared.h
static const char *g_he_alignx[] =
{
	"left",   // HE_ALIGN_LEFT
	"center", // HE_ALIGN_CENTER
	"right",  // HE_ALIGN_RIGHT
};


static const char *g_he_aligny[] =
{
	"top",    // HE_ALIGN_TOP
	"middle", // HE_ALIGN_MIDDLE
	"bottom", // HE_ALIGN_BOTTOM
};


// These values correspond to the defines in menudefinition.h
static const char *g_he_horzalign[] =
{
	"subleft",			// HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_SUBLEFT
	"left",				// HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_LEFT
	"center",			// HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_CENTER
	"right",			// HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_RIGHT
	"fullscreen",		// HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_FULLSCREEN
	"noscale",			// HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_NOSCALE
	"alignto640",		// HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_TO640
	"center_safearea",	// HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_CENTER_SAFEAREA
};
cassert( ARRAY_COUNT( g_he_horzalign ) == HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_MAX + 1 );


static const char *g_he_vertalign[] =
{
	"subtop",			// VERTICAL_ALIGN_SUBTOP
	"top",				// VERTICAL_ALIGN_TOP
	"middle",			// VERTICAL_ALIGN_CENTER
	"bottom",			// VERTICAL_ALIGN_BOTTOM
	"fullscreen",		// VERTICAL_ALIGN_FULLSCREEN
	"noscale",			// VERTICAL_ALIGN_NOSCALE
	"alignto480",		// VERTICAL_ALIGN_TO480
	"center_safearea",	// VERTICAL_ALIGN_CENTER_SAFEAREA
};
cassert( ARRAY_COUNT( g_he_vertalign ) == VERTICAL_ALIGN_MAX + 1 );


init()
{
	level.uiParent = spawnstruct();
	level.uiParent.horzAlign = "left";
	level.uiParent.vertAlign = "top";
	level.uiParent.alignX = "left";
	level.uiParent.alignY = "top";
	level.uiParent.x = 0;
	level.uiParent.y = 0;
	level.uiParent.width = 0;
	level.uiParent.height = 0;
	level.uiParent.children = [];
	
	if ( level.console )
		level.fontHeight = 12;
	else
		level.fontHeight = 12;
}

I don't think creating your own fonts will work for MW2 since we don't have any mod tools but I'm not sure.

[Jorndel]

Ah, you mean create your own letter type. K.
Well, it would be a massive work I suppose.
Make line for line....
10-20 lines for 1 letter.

or, it might be possible to texture edit it. Won't say for sure but...

[mohammadhosin]

Let me say this way

i want when press (for example) "H" in game view

or when me typing "Hello" in game view

in other word; with press "H" load imag" س.iwi" and ...

Of course
i add "س.iwi" in image fastfile in "iw_01.iwd"

"persian language"

[myoldaccountissgtbighacks]

i think for different languages u would need different versions of the game

[Nachos]

You need some other language files to do that. And as far as i know there aren't any Arabian language files...

Maybe you can change the font file but does anyone a a .ttf to .iwi converter?

[Yamato]

I remember playing once a mod that had plenty russian words in HUD, btw, try this 2 shaders, they look arabian,

decode_characters
decode_characters_glow

[cgallagher21]

Not sure if this is right, But make a new iwd font file. Name it the same as the one you want to change. And drag and drop it in. Or something..
