Terminal Models

Post » Tue Mar 22, 2011 1:31 pm

Evening guys,

not a scripting query (makes a change eh?). I was just wondering if there was any way of changing the terminal screen (assuming it's a model used) for a specific terminal in-game. I'd quite like to change the font (if not the font, then the colour at the least), and the actual screen itself (instead of the brownish and green monitor screen, a more lithe and blue TFT).

Is this possible?

I think the terminal screen and coloring are depending on the texture it shows, and I think that is hardcoded. So my two cents is that no you cannot. But if you can, I wan't to know because it would be a great tool I wan't to use.

Yes this is definitely possible - but for the default methods, I'm not sure you can change the font (I just havn't worked that angle before). Changing the contents of the terminal, the text that you see displayed, is all controlled by the Menu's shown (including the top text showing the maker).

You can create a new graphic for the terminal, but I havn't tried interrupting the normal logon sequence to replace it with another, that part may be hard-coded - limiting you to changing the textural contents of the terminal only.

Brilliant, thanks for your replies. I'll look into this, I'm not overly fussed on changing the logon sequence, I can make do without I think.
