This will extract all the characters out of a warcraft 2 .fnt file into a bunch of individual .bmp files so you can edit them. Just drop a .fnt file onto War2FontTool.exe. When you edit them (with MSPaint or whatever) make sure to copy the existing color values and not use any other colors. Any unknown colors will be removed. You can add extra .bmps for missing chars (do this by copying an existing .bmp then rename and edit). You can change the width/height of the bitmaps to resize the chars. The X/Y offsets are calculated automatically. The green color will be transparent. When you have finished editing the bitmaps, just drop any one of them onto War2FontTool.exe to compile them all into a .fnt file. This will overwrite the original file without warning, so keep a backup. The maximum size allowed for an individual character is 64x64 pixels. The .fnt file will always be declared to include character 0x20 (space). |

Information about the use of the HD-patch is displayed in the server status and in the lobby before the game. · Installation: extract all files into your game folder (overwrite existing files). To configure resolution and some other settings (e.g. windowed mode) use Warcraft II Config · By default, the HD-patch is set to a 16:9 aspect ratio and the viewing area is doubled. |
