Transparent interface bag txt fix

Transparent interface

Since the launch of Shrouded Isles, it is possible to use three different kinds of interface. One of them, the transparent one, may cause some problems of names display in the bag pack (mainly words cut in two). Looking forward to a Mythic fix, we however propose you a temporary fix to correct this problem :

Be careful, use this fix only if you feel experienced enough to do so !

step one : open the following file with a Text editor like notepad : \data\uifontt.dat

the last entry : [font12] type=bitmap file=fonts/9font.bmp colors=11

change it to : [font12] type=bitmap file=fonts/arial10_mind.bmp colors=11

step two :

It is almost working, but the patcher replaces the uifontt.dat when you connect to the server. Now we have to fool the server for it not to replace the new unifont.dat.

2 solutions :

1. create a copy of arial10_mind.bmp

2. create a backup of 9font.bmp

3. rename the copy of arial10_mind.bmp to 9font.bmp. - if you encounter problems, just rename the backup again.

Have anyone fixed their problem by doing this ? Cuz i cant get it to work. Maybe its a little thing im doing wrong, but cant really see what that should be. I've tried this like 20 times now.

So if anyone know what im doing wrong, plz tell

Heh, I reported this bug 2 days after SI-release, and got some generic answer back that they were working with Mythic to solve it....

But why, this is clearly an error created by Goa, and going by the latest news-post this should be easily solvable by simply replacing the faulty .bmp on the patch-server...

its a rather simple fix so they should be able to do themself actually. Unles they dont have access to the patch server????
