Wall text

Post by frank1974 »

I am making a dungeon for my little boy, and I'm have some trouble writing wall texts.
for some reason when i write = it never appears on the dungeon wall, even though the rest of the text is fine, both letters and numbers.
does anyone know the reason for this or a way round it.
ps i am using the rtc editor.

There's no = in the font unfortunately.
You could however cheat and use the rune symbol "ON" which is an equals sign. To insert it, use lower case c.

You're welcome. :) I'll move this to the RTC Editing forum as it's more appropriate there.

As with everything in RTC, you can't change their pictures, what you need to do is create a copy of the wall item with a new picture. So clone a wall_ring and put in your own pictuire for it, for example.

"So clone a wall_ring and put in your own pictuire for it, for example."
i was trying to do just that, 1st add/replace graphics, then create new objects, i make a clone of the sun picture but when i go to change the front bitmap
i cant add the new graphic.......................
i got it , i did not see that you can change the scaling when you add the graphics.

thanks for your help
