Graphic text

[AdrTru]

Thx for comment.
Now I working on debuging and try to solve problems with "modulative" type of material for Daedra texts.
I have some problems with bad vizualization of transparent background.

Bro I have no idea what you are saying here - but sure u know what your doing and all goes well I thinks if the player clicks on the text something should happen eg: some visual fx like blood drips down the wall where the text is when the player clicks on it and maybe some horror sound

[AdrTru]

I describe you this actual problem:
There is daedra text with seting material to "Modulative"

This picture have to have white pixels in alpha transparent area ( and in mpmaps too).
I try to find algorithm for making this white pixels correctly.

About your aclaim is possible to make clickable component with size like text, itis possible to make connector for playing sound etc. ( I start thinking about it )
I think that intrgate system for particles is too hard and too complex.

On Nexus is uploaded new version with some new posibilities.

1/ Is possible to change parameters for writing one text object with different settings.
2/ there is created button component with size of text for connecting
read -> ReadMe


BTW: test dung is lagged becouse in dung is very much texts in small place. ( its not target of this mod )

A lot of days I worked on easy system for preparing fonts.
I made script for Gimp. This script create picture with chars writed in 75x75 grid like iconatlas. ( this is basic format for my texts )
Is possible to change scale of pictures by multiplicator - for making effects and shrinking after it.
This script is my first in this lanuage,then I dont known many of possibilities and technicts.

Instalation:
make text file with this script "script_fu_font_matrix.scm" (or load here https://ulozto.cz/x7R3uS9F/script-fu-font-matrix-scm) and put it to (user)\.gimp-2.8\scripts
after new start Gimp wil be script in menu/Filters/Text/Font matrix

Really like your work so far !!!
Thanks for sharing it. I am using it (and your potuin liquids) in my dungeon and will give you credits

I try to use shaders for writing texts.
Do you known setting of shaders in material definition?
Only shader=crystal I able to use on fonts ( I must change models for chars to box - changes isnt in published mod yet ) , this shader work only with rotation parameter and is glowing in dark.
Is possible to use another shader without glowing, with offset moving, etc. ?

EDit: changing script for bug with fixing over up position.

These are the ones that I know exist.

• "wall_fire"
  "ocean_water"
  "water_underwater"
  "sky"
  "stars"
  "portal"
  "additive"
  "edge_extrude"
  "crystal"

But I've only ever used the water shaders, and 'crystal'.

Thank you for reply.
This shader names I fond in LOG2 asset and in my test win crystal ( only this one work on my object ).
Maybe "additive" or "edge_extrude" has chance for working, but I dont correctly use this.
Maybe some setParam for seting shaders will be usefull to known.
If somebody have some info pls post it.

there are summary of my knowledge (read form assets):

shader = "crystal",
shadeTex = "assets/textures/env/red_gem_shadetex.tga", -- some small image not use alpfa layer
shadeTexAngle = 0,
crystalIntensity = 3, --0-black, 1-dark, +++
onUpdate = function(self, time)
self:setParam("shadeTexAngle", time*0.2) -- only this one param work with crystal
end,

shader = "edge_extrude", -- maybe have some setting for working
shader = "additive", -- work, but only glowing in dark

shader = "wall_fire", -- change texture offset , but some setting is needed
onUpdate = function(self, time)
self:setParam("time", time)
end,

water,sky,stairs,portal is describet in viewtopic.php?f=22&t=13948

Usable setParam:
"shadeTexAngle" -- use in crystal for rotation texture
"time" -- use in wallFire and Portal
"texOffset" and "foamOffset" -- use in water .. ( not work in crystal )
