Well... this started when i first downloaded the 019 release of PS and didn't like the bubbles that came with it by default. Instead of complaining (like i usually do) i decided to do something about it myself. After like an hour or two most of the work was done, but i couldn't remove the dropshadow on the font. First i set out on a mission to change the code so that i could choose if i wanted shadow or not. When i got the code and everything was done i discovered that all i had to do was set the red color of the shadow to 0 in chatbubbles.xml.
The font has small spikes sticking out of it in random places. I don't know why and i don't know how to remove it, but if someone do - feel free to let me know what's wrong.
Here's a screenshot.

You can get the mod here, including a readme so you know how to install it.

Hope you like it.
Enjoy!

Quick answer!
Thanks. Glad you like it (better than originals). I'm thinking about making a grey border for it too.
-
I like how they look now :) If you or anyone else would like to continue working on the chatbubble settings and create something really cool, we can see about making those the default options in the game.
-
I mostly did this one for me, and thought it turned out pretty well so i decided to share it here. So apart from fixinf this one to make it perfect i don't think i'll make somthing new and cool. Maybe if get a really good idea or someone motivates me and give me a hint on what to do.
-
I love the bubbles how they are now..... anyway, if those one get implemented in the future, I hope the current ones remain an option.

Yes, try the link i posted again. :)
-
Thanks, it works again. Looks very good.
-
Actually i've got one of those really cool ideas i talked about before. I'll look into it tomorrow, and probably finish it shortly after since i have a hard time to do anything else until something is done.
-
I like it... much less... offensive, than the regular bubbles :P
-
can you make one to make the bubbles dissapear?
-
You can make them disappear if you open chatbubbles.xml and change every <chat> tag to a comment.
-
Or simply delete chatbubbles.xml

New translucent chatbubbles will be an option in the next release, probably:

ah..that looks nice, I made some red ones by editing the hue/saturation of the png file...but I want to know how to make the text smaller.
-
as fast as i turned those bubbles off at first, as sudden i liked the look of your chatbubbles, Bastig. unfortunately when i found your thread here, that host was down.
i guess you have a new host now, yet it needs registration and as its danish, which i dont understand at all, thus i dont really fancy to register there.
is there any chance to get those nicely looking chatbubbles anyways?
-
hmm...It's been more than a month since he said he would, I hope he will be true to his words..I really like these bubbles.
-
Wow, nice job Bastig. I would love to download the file but i cant read danish...
Hope you get a new one up soon as well.
-
as the link doenst work...download this from http://dudu.110mb.com/Bubble.tar.gz if you want to see on your own ;o

If you open chatbubble.eff in notepad or something similar, you can set the font size in this line:
<obj type="text2d" fontsize="10" name="text" align="top">
I prefer size 8.

Thank you for your efforts, Durwyn, but unfortunately that tarball seems to be corrupt.
-
I've re-downloaded it, and that file works for me.

Shame=/.. tried in Windows several times, with WinRar, and in Linux more often even. Via Opera and wget.. with Ark and tar.. sorry, no way for me.

THANK YOU!!

Woops! :oops:
I completely forgot about all of this. I've been working on Peragro for a while not and haven't been that much on the forums.
I saw that you found a host for my bubbles. I'll put that link in my first post so that ppl can find it without reading through all the post. :)
Well, if you need anything let me know!
