    Default How To: Changing Fonts/Font Sizes

    So as you increase the resolution of of your game the fonts shrink and become hard to read. In order to help this you can go into your font.ini and increase the font size, this solves part of the problem. The second part is the default fonts the game use can be hard to read when scaled up. To fix this you can point the font.ini to a different font that is in the font folder and mess around with scaling. This can be tricky though and may require a lot of testing.

    To help with this I'm posting my setup. To use it simply make a backup of your current font.ini, then copy and past the below text into your original font.ini file and start up the game.

    Default Font

    New Font

    Code:
    [TERMINAL]
    FILE=.\fonts\Handgb__.ttf
    NAME=handelgothicbold
    SIZE=12
    
    [MAINMENU]
    FILE=.\fonts\Handgb__.ttf
    NAME=handelgothicbold
    SIZE=12	
    
    [CHAT]
    FILE=.\fonts\Handgb__.ttf
    NAME=handelgothicbold
    SIZE=12
    
    [RPOS]
    FILE=.\fonts\Handgb__.ttf
    NAME=handelgothicbold
    SIZE=12
    
    [RPOSBIG]
    FILE=.\fonts\Handgb__.ttf
    NAME=handelgothicbold
    SIZE=14
    
    [RPOSCHAT]
    FILE=.\fonts\Handgb__.ttf
    NAME=handelgothicbold
    SIZE=12
    
    [DAMAGE]
    FILE=.\fonts\damage.ttf
    NAME=BN Elements
    SIZE=20
    Now for some stuff that is buried in the forums that are worth checking out.

    How to remove your resolution limit
    This is a modification to your neocron.ini file that will give you more freedom with your resolution.

    imgs are not super clear but you should be able to see the difference. Hope this helps.

    Great guide, thanks! We really appreciate the community making stuff like this. As we've evolved the game and tried to remove some of the limitations of the past, I guess we sometimes don't always make that information as easy to digest as we should!

    Appreciate it! <3

    Thanks everyone for the great response!

    Forgot something though!

    This is the command to select a different RPOS color

    /set gfx_hudcolor 0 (the 0 can be changed to any number 0-10)
    There are alt colors that have been built into the game. You can also go into the rposcolor.ini and create your own by entering the RGB color values. (values can be found on many websites or just opening up Paint)

    0 = Default
    1 = Night Blue (Creator REvK)
    2 = Smoke (Creator Carnage)
    3 = Neocron Orange (Creator Andruil)
    4 = Dark Blue (Creator Nash_Brigham)
    5 = Soft Purple (Creator Hajoan)
    6 = Army Green (Creator kbmg)
    7 = Steel Blue (Creator Satty)
    8 = ProtoPharm Default (Dr. Laura Snyder)
    9 = BaDDaSS Gray (Creator BaDDaSS)
    10 = h00ver's HUD (Creator h00ver)

    I added the new DAMAGE section to the example font.ini in the OP to prevent it accidentally getting wiped out. I've copied across the original DAMAGE section from the standard font.ini file as-is.

    Perfect Timing I just looked this up to use.

    Is there a UI Built to extend it to fit these font changes?
