Have any one *.rcf tool?

Lusiyan · April 3, 2015, 5:08am

Ah… okay got it.

If this work was done that I will post to you.

I Find other type character set.

This type called ‘complete type’ of Korean (2,350 + 48)
Commonly used character set.

http://lusiyan.wo.tc/attachment/cfile2.uf@2619044F551E47BE0B8C10.txt
– Text File, Encoding: UTF-8

I think that this is a minimum of minimum size of korean character.

P.s Before file is ‘combine type’(11,172) of Korean.

that is all of korean characters

Okay, great - it’s 4am here, so I won’t mess with this until probably the weekend (very, very busy tomorrow). I’ll get back to you as soon as I have a font for you! Cheers!

Lusiyan · April 11, 2015, 6:47am

@BitVenom Are you still busy there?
I have worndering about process of korean font to rcf converting work.

If you are still working then I will waitting more times for you.

BitVenom · April 11, 2015, 11:31am

Very busy, yes - BUT - I’ll have another test of this for you in just a few hours, as it is the first thing I’m doing this morning! Sorry for the delay… !

Lusiyan · April 11, 2015, 12:25pm

Oh… dear…
I don’t care about delay.

Do not hurry. Your work is first of all.

BitVenom · April 11, 2015, 5:21pm

Using your more limited character set, but also adding English / Cyrillic and a few others I ended up with this:

66MB font.

I need to do some work in the font creator/engine to make it easier to ‘cherry pick’ from many font sources to create a single in-game font (so that the non-Korean characters could come from a more stylish font face). But it seems okay. Give this a shot and maybe post some screen-caps? I didn’t make as many ‘sizes’ as the HW:RM game uses - so I worry it won’t scale very cleanly. Here’s the layout I used:

Normal_1024 = Noto Sans CJK KR Thin, 16pt
Normal_1600 = Noto Sans CJK KR Regular, 22pt
Normal_3000 = Noto Sans CJK KR Medium, 40pt
Normal_8000 = Noto Sans CJK KR Black, 75pt

Bold_1024 = Noto Sans CJK KR Bold, 16pt
Bold_1600 = Noto Sans CJK KR Bold, 22pt
Bold_3000 = Noto Sans CJK KR Bold, 40pt
Bold_8000 = Noto Sans CJK KR Black, 75pt

That file is well work without error!
Thank you so much for your help.

But, two parts are not good work.

Font’s space is not cleared.

Font’s bottom part is not cleary shown.

and, mouse over tooltip on ship part.
2. fonts was overlap… and too big.

also, these problem have shown with english.

I used all part to NotoSans.

FontMap1600 =
{
    default = "locale:Font\\NotoSans.rcf",

    BlenderFont = "locale:Font\\NotoSans.rcf",

    --Subtitle and SP game fonts
    SPSubtitleFont = "locale:Font\\NotoSans.rcf",
    LocationCardFont = "locale:Font\\NotoSans.rcf",            -- Used for mouseover tooltip

    --ATI/SM fonts
    ATIControlGroupFont = "locale:Font\\NotoSans.rcf",
    ATISmallFont = "locale:Font\\NotoSans.rcf",

    --UI fonts
    Heading1Font = "locale:Font\\NotoSans.rcf",    -- Title font
    Heading2Font = "locale:Font\\NotoSans.rcf",            -- Sub title font
    Heading3Font = "locale:Font\\NotoSans.rcf",   -- Window title font
    RM_Heading3Font = "locale:Font\\NotoSans.rcf",   -- Subtitle font
    Heading4Font = "locale:Font\\NotoSans.rcf",            -- Window sub title font
    RM_ButtonFont    = "locale:Font\\NotoSans.rcf",             -- Font for buttons
    ButtonFont    = "locale:Font\\NotoSans.rcf",             -- Font for buttons
    ListBoxItemFont = "locale:Font\\NotoSans.rcf",
    GenericSubtitleFont = "locale:Font\\NotoSans.rcf",
    ChatFont       = "locale:Font\\NotoSans.rcf",            -- Font for chat text
}

    --Subtitle and SP game fonts
    SPSubtitleFont = "data:UI\\font\\Blender.rcf",
    LocationCardFont = "data:UI\\Font\\Blender.rcf",            -- Used for mouseover tooltip

    --ATI/SM fonts
    ATIControlGroupFont = "data:UI\\Font\\Blender.rcf",
    ATISmallFont = "data:UI\\Font\\SmallFonts7.rcf",

    --UI fonts
    Heading1Font = "data:UI\\Font\\Blender.rcf",    -- Title font
    Heading2Font = "data:UI\\Font\\Blender.rcf",            -- Sub title font
    Heading3Font = "data:UI\\Font\\Blender.rcf",   -- Window title font
    RM_Heading3Font = "data:UI\\Font\\Blender.rcf",   -- Subtitle font
    Heading4Font = "data:UI\\Font\\Blender.rcf",            -- Window sub title font
    RM_ButtonFont    = "data:UI\\Font\\Blender.rcf",             -- Font for buttons
    ButtonFont    = "data:UI\\Font\\Blender.rcf",             -- Font for buttons
    ListBoxItemFont = "data:UI\\Font\\Blender.rcf",
    GenericSubtitleFont = "data:UI\\Font\\Blender.rcf",
    ChatFont       = "data:UI\\Font\\Blender.rcf",            -- Font for chat text
}

So, I think that, smaller font was need for overlap problem.

Like a “ATISmallFont = “data:UI\Font\SmallFonts7.rcf”,”
May be required new other font file that 50% size of NotoSans
but, not cleary shown problem…
May be More required bottom space.

BitVenom · April 12, 2015, 6:53pm

Hrm… lots of weird stuff there. I may have to add another size, though that shouldn’t have mattered. I think the issue may relate to how that specific font treats the korean glyphs - and how the western glyphs are aligned relative. Regardless, I’ll look into it. It is really close to working though!

Hi BitVenom, I know you are busy these days, but can you also help us make a Chinese font ,since you have said the font we are using is not good enough?
Here is the .rcf font we are using at present , a list of all Chinese characters we need in the font (Sorry but this is the smallest list I can provide, since this font will not only be used in our Chinese patch but also every future Chinese MOD), and a simhei.ttf that comes with Windows.

BitVenom · April 13, 2015, 4:58pm

Can you give me a .txt or related that has the characters (unicode/whatever works for you) from that .rcf? I need just a basic text file. I can use simhei, I am sure I have it I need to debug why the Korean fonts are acting like they are - and also add some features to the font tool (scaling new line/space, mixed-face gather, etc).

506933395 · April 13, 2015, 5:02pm

I think our .rcf contain all the Characters in the ChineseCharacters.txt in that link.

Lusiyan · April 22, 2015, 8:24am

@BitVenom Other Problem was founded other korean player that reported my blog.
Under 1600 resolution video setting then character was shown half.

1024*768

1366*768

I think that does not have a 800/1024 typeface to this problem.

Lifth · July 6, 2017, 6:05pm

Sorry for the necro @BitVenom but is there any chance you might release your rcf tool at this point if it isn’t too much trouble?

I’m tinkering with the old HW2-era rcf tools linked in this topic to try and get the HW1 font bitmaps into proper rcf fonts. So far I’m running into a lot of crashes and rendering issues. The crashes in particular are apparently related to mismatched expectations of glyph height between the per-gylph rcf description and what the engine sets for higher resolutions (1280+). Or I (probably) have no idea how it really works. Either way I’m having a pretty hard time since I want the same small (14px height) fixed font size (or at least width) at all resolutions.

When I do manage to get past the crashes the fonts don’t render at all or I get grey rectangles across half the screen. The font I’m testing with is the ATISmallFont (originally smallfonts7) which seems to be the most rigorous one.

I was thinking your tool might save me some measure of sanity before I give up again. Alternatively it would also be a huge help if you were able to share any information about the expectations the engine has about glyph sizes and height at different font resolutions.

Thanks!

@BitVenom I am translating to Portuguese from the English language and came across strange characters because of the difference in accentuation that the English language does not have as “áôãçà”.

I don’t want to occupy you, my question is just doubt only.
I know the Spanish version has accentuation and it works but I prefer to translate straight from English for a more faithful translation.
The question is: what is the file responsible for accentuation? How do I switch from English to the responsible file used in Spanish?

if you can help I appreciate it.
