Useful information about fancy symbols in strings. #8

Closed ghost closed 2 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

There are many fancy symbols that you can use in strings in a modded gametype. You might want to include these instructions in the documentation. This will allow script authors to take advantage of them. Capture Halo_ The Master Chief Collection 1_20_2020 9_11_05 PM

Here are the steps to get all these symbols:

  1. Download lord zedd's font packager.
  2. Open the file font_package.bin in the halo reach font directory. (haloreach\maps\fonts)
  3. Select tv_nord_hud-15 Simply double click a symbol and paste them into a string and they will show up on waypoint text. Some of these symbols don't show up on hud widgets. Most symbols in eurostile_It_demi-13 show up in hud widgets.

After entirely too long I have finally added this to the documentation. Thank you for the original report.
