I was working on a dungeon and I thought to myself, "It would be nice to make player's decode runic messages to advance through dungeons." I thought about just using the glowing rune tiles, but there are only 5 or 6 of them. So, I headed off to RunUO to see what other's had been talking about reegarding the Runic font found in InsideUO (Font 8). I found this, but it's a little greek to me (I don't know code at all).

Runic Lettering - usage if and how?

I am know left with two questions.

Is it possible to have an attachment that will send a MSG in the runic font? Make an NPC/Player Talk in the runic font?

If it IS possible, is someone willing to to take the time create this for the XMLSpawnerFan Community? (This would be a good way to show your appreciation to Me and Arte.)

yes it is possible to send text in the different fonts. There isnt currently support for that but I have added it in.

- the MSG keyword now supports an optional hue argument

MSG[,probability][,hue]

- added the new ASCIIMSG keyword that is like MSG but uses ascii instead of unicode and supports an optional hue and font argument.

ASCIIMSG[,probability][,hue][,font]/text

- the SENDMSG keyword now supports an optional hue argument

SENDMSG[,hue]/text

- added the new SENDASCIIMSG keyword that is like SENDMSG but uses ascii instead of unicode and supports an optional hue and font argument.

SENDASCIIMSG[,hue][,font]/text

Thanks Arte . Look for this in the next update?

yeah, it will be in the next update. If you want to try it out now I have attached an updated BaseXmlSpawner.cs file and an XML example.



Here is the latest v3.07 beta update that includes this mod
v307_beta

That's so cool Arte . It's just too bad it show's up as normal text in the journal . Looks like I may have to Re-Order the runic font so it will come out as giberish in the journal. It also means it will take more time to properly enter msg's . But that looks like it's all client side stuff.

yep
