You can't, not unless you want to individually change every letter in the font graphic file. Even then, from what I've tried it seems to change the fonts for all mods. It possibly may work if you put the updated font file in your mod's directory (I haven't tried it for a long time), but I would recommend against trying at all; far too much effort for too little gain.

But it is THEORICALLY possible; simply create a "font.png" in the mod directory. THEORICALLY it should work.

P.S.: I mean THEORICALLY beacuse I have not tried this yet.

|EDIT|: After testing this, I found only one way to make it work as it was the only one ZeXLR8er said.
Anyway, if you dare to do it, you can allways make backups

i want to make a mod that would give the properties of sand to the alien corpses, you know how you run overthem and they "cling on to you". its gunna be either an item/weapon (corpse picker-uper) or and Accessory (MagneGrabber). how should i start?

[Redemption]

The best way to do it would be to make the creatures drop plot objects when they die. Copying the sand plot objects should be helpful, just add a condition that checks to see if the item that picks them up is equipped (condition number 11).

is there any program that you can make notrium textures?

[MageKing17]

Try any graphics editing program. The GIMP seems pretty popular.

tnx
can you make different traces?
and how to make that creature shots 2 bullets (like red laser and blue laser)?

[Venom31]

Err... Dumb question. Can the E button be unassigned from weapon change forward? I haven't seen it in any of them "text" data files, is it hard-coded? IMO, mouse scroll is bad but enough for that task. + more keys for quick use

What do you mean by different traces?

And two different bullets at once is easy. Just make one be the main weapon, and the second - another weapon, which is automatically fired via the "effect on shooter"

i made a rocket turret witch shoot the rocket (creature) but i have problem
i need to make the rocket with no collision, but i don t want that rocket go through wall
how can i do that?

[Venom31]

Do you mean your rocket should just keep away from them walls?

[Anonymous1157]

He accidentally used confusing terminology. What he meant was that his rocket shouldn't explode but should indeed detect collisions.

[Venom31]

Werivar mod's battledroids seem to fire rockets, that don't explode hitting walls, but instead try to come around to hit the target. I don't think this engine will allow a better solution. It's not D* or how it is called...
