UT2K4: Custom Font-Styles don't work

[legacy-Eppinator]

I'm working on a Mod for UT2K4, making the GUI.
I wanted to use some custom Fonts in custom GUI-Styles, und made it like shown in the tutorials from the UDN.
But it doesn't work

- made the Font-Texture-Pack (which works)
- made my own GUI-Controller (from the UT2K4-GuiController)
- registered my own Fonts to the Fontstack (starting where superclass left off)
- registered my own guistyle (button...)

Instead of using my new Font it uses the Standard-UT-Font.
The style seems to work cause the textcolors are right, but the font is wrong.

I can't look how the original styles are made, cause the classfiles are empty, there are only the keynames.
Where can I find the code ?

Any idea how I get my fonts working ?

The class files are empty because you exported them from UEd. Download the source scripts from Epic (just google unrealscript source).

Source files can be found here:

http://udn.epicgames.com/Two/PublicModResource

MUCH better than anything UED will export for you.

Thanks
Have looked through the original files, but haven't found new infos.

Here's some code:
All Files stored in the subdirectory "TUMGUI" in the Mod-Directory

class TUM_fntDefault extends GUIFont;
defaultproperties
{
    KeyName="TUM_DefaultFont"

    FontArrayNames(0)="TUM_Fonts2.AdSu10"
    FontArrayNames(1)="TUM_Fonts2.AdSu12"
    FontArrayNames(2)="TUM_Fonts2.AdSu14"
    FontArrayNames(3)="TUM_Fonts2.AdSu16"
    FontArrayNames(4)="TUM_Fonts2.AdSu18"
}



class TUM_STY_Button extends GUIStyles;
DefaultProperties
{
   KeyName="TUM_Button"

   FontNames(0)="TUM_DefaultFont"
   FontNames(1)="TUM_DefaultFont"
   FontNames(2)="TUM_DefaultFont"
   FontNames(3)="TUM_DefaultFont"
   FontNames(4)="TUM_DefaultFont"

}



class TUM_GUIController extends UT2K4GUIController;
//...
defaultproperties
{
     Begin Object Class=TUMGUI.TUM_fntDefault Name=GUITUM_DefaultFont
     End Object

     FontStack(11)=GUITUM_DefaultFont
     FONT_NUM=12

     DefaultStyleNames(60)="TUMGUI.TUM_STY_MenuButton"
     DefaultStyleNames(61)="TUMGUI.TUM_STY_Button"
     STYLE_NUM=62

//...
}

I've no Idea where's the problem...

Hmm, it looks good to me.

What about your button? When you create it, are you setting StyleName="TUM_Button"?

And are you SURE that the game is using YOUR GUIController?

Otherwise it looks correct.

[legacy-Eppinator]

Yes the button has the right stylesetting
And I am sure that my GuiController is used.

made the entry in the TUM.ini:
[Engine.Engine]
GUIController=TUMGUI.TUM_GUIController

How I wrote above the Style seems to work partially because the textcolors that are displayed are the same as I defined in the style.
And I tested Backgroundimages for the button, they worked too.
Only the Font is wrong. :bulb:

[legacy-Bonehed316]

Check the log, it usually says something useful. Maybe your font is broken. Try using a default font (in your own font class) for testing purposes.

[legacy-rorshack]

I feel you. I've done everyhing just like you've done, and it just keeps on using the default font. There's no documentation anywhere to check - the font stuff on UDN is good for creating the font and it works, but not when using it on GUIFonts/GUIStyles. Everything I could learn I've learn from the original uc code, but even so, it doesn't work. :/

EDIT: Holy ****ing ****, I finally got it to work. Apparently, it's all related to some font size settings.. which are not mentioned on UDN and I don't understand what are they for. Anyways, after messing with GUI design mode, I was able to get it running.

The lowdown: just do "FontNames(x)=..." on your style class naming all strings, from 0 to 14.. not from 0 to 4, not from 10 to 14 (like I found on some original ut2k4 .uc file).
