New bubbles
« on: July 13, 2007, 06:37:22 pm »
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.
Download link!

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.

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.

You can make them disappear if you open chatbubbles.xml and change every <chat> tag to a comment.
