Some advice on Opening Crawl Files.

[TheWhitePhoenix]

So, with apart of what I announced, I have to make the opening crawls (the TC_Language tga files) work with the story, so I edit them and everything, it's all good. However, when it runs in game, the text crawl goes faster than normal than the unedited file in the opening movie. I used GIMP to edit it and I always use Times New Roman Bold for the text. So is there a specific way I have to make the text and everything?

how long is your file, i think the original one is 512 px width by 2048 px height.

 

Also @@redsaurus did a series on SP mapping, including as well something about text crawls: https://jkhub.org/topic/5149-lets-map-singleplayer/?p=77142

Yes, it's 512 px width by 2048 px height. Did @@redsaurus ever say what he used to edit the opening crawls?

I think that as long as it's the same size as the original it should work fine - I used photoshop, but it shouldn't matter too much. Some of it's probably just from using a smaller font size?

For the title card such as the episode number, the font size is 30. The name of the episode is 25. The description is 20. Should they be smaller or bigger?

@ if you compare it with the original, your text is much smaller which is why it's going faster - probably best to make it a bit bigger.

Ah. So that's it. I'll give it a try.

It worked. All I needed to do was increase the Episode name to size 45, chapter name to 40, and text to 35. Thanks, Red.
