Name mesh-table variable?

[Ricke82]

Does anyone know if the font property for the name effect variable works in 2010? If so would you please share the secret of how it is done? I have tried everything I can think of to specify a font with no success. I don't get an error when I commit the asset, but I don't get the font I want either.

Thanks.

Never used the "Font" tag, but, if it helps, there is a section about this on page 434 of the TC3 CCG (which is I believe the most up to date CCG available in pdf form).

Example take from the CCG here:

[SIZE=2]mesh-table [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]{ [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]default [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]{ [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]mesh industry.lm [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]auto-create 1 [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]effects [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]{ [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]0 [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]{ [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]kind name [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]font garamond [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]fontsize 0.15 [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]fontcolor 30,30,30 [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]att a.name0 [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]name name [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]} [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]1 [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]{ [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]kind name [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]font swiss [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]fontsize 0.3 [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]fontcolor 30,30,30 [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]att a.name1 [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]name name [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]} [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]} [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]}[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]}[/SIZE]

Edit: Another extract from the CCG:

Thank you! That helps a lot. None of the fonts I tried are on the list you provided. Do you have a link to the CCG you quoted? I've been using the one for 2006 at http://forums.auran.com/trainz/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=685712 and it doesn't provide any examples.

...Do you have a link to the CCG you quoted?...

I can't remember where I got it from and despite 10 minutes of searching I can't find a link (that works) ! I guess it's on the Auran website(s) - somewhere.....

If you can't find it then PM me your email address I will email you a copy.

If you do find it on the net would you please post the link in this thread.

Cheers

The CCGs for TRS2006 and TrainzClassic are available here. Look for the link to to Content Creators Guide. The packed (rar) file contains both CCGs in english.

Interesting that Helvetica is listed on there, as most people don't have that font.

it doesnt matter if you have that font installed on your system or not. they are accessed from the game.
