1.7.* patch is alive. Update coming?

Updated for new patch
Enriador Feb 28, 2019 @ 8:07pm 
@Divine Yuri, do you plan on updating this mod? It's fully functional so only needs to get officially updated to 1.6.*.

May I recommend darkening the text slightly and making it ever so slightly transparent?

@Ice Frapp

Mostly I didn't know what I wanted to do with it. One of the things that appealed to me about the wolfenstein font was how it flows together, but that doesn't look great with how fonts appear on the map.

Trying to mimic that was frustrating me so I put it on haitus, and wasn't playing HOI4 that much so I haven't been very interested in working on anything HOI related.

I'm probably just going to drop any attempts at that flow, and just have it act like this one, but with the Wolfenstein font.

But to acknowledge this:

I did just release a different font. This font was much easier to make, and with the release of Waking The Tiger recently I thought it would be better to make/release it now as it's themed with the DLC.

So ummm, what happened to the Wolfenstein map font mod? Has development stopped?

Insulting the NAP does not violate the NAP, Insulting Molyneux is always welcome, death is a better alternative to communism

ah ok
Hugs  [author] Nov 4, 2017 @ 4:29pm 
Which is mostly me saying that I can't really do anything to fix it, but tell the mod developer that their mod is incompatible with Map Font mods.
Hugs  [author] Nov 4, 2017 @ 4:25pm 
I checked on Colored Puppets, and didn't have any problems. It's probably another mod.

Also, there isn't a way for me to change this mod so it becomes compatible with another. If another mod isn't working it's because they screwed up with their handling of the .mod file, or they replace the same files (I only replace files that have to do with the map font).

it wont work with colored puppets

Gut Luck, Kamerad! :)

Soon™

(No idea when I'll have the time to work on it)
StinkyPaws Nov 3, 2017 @ 2:39pm 
So I can't expect an answer for my question anytime soon? :( I'm not angry, I'm just wondering.
StinkyPaws Oct 27, 2017 @ 4:12pm 
Despite the letters 'f' and 't' looking out of place, I think it's pretty good! 👍☺ When can we expect a release?

How's progress with the Wolfenstein map font? I know it's not gonna look the best, but I still have faith in you. :)

I thought I'd play one game with this, find it too hard to read compared to a normal font and disable it, but after actually playing a game with this on I think I will be keeping it. :) Looks very nice and fitting for the game, and is perfectly readable.
Ramius3443 Oct 23, 2017 @ 2:32pm 
This is one of those mods I had no idea I wanted it until it existed. Excellent work!
Generalis Oct 23, 2017 @ 7:20am 
woah this is amazing

Easier to read than Vanilla, thank you!

i was wondering how this would work with kaiserreich and then i notice that the screencaps are from kaiserreich
+1 to the author for having a good taste in mods

@Divine Yuri
I just feel like it would look slighty more appealing if it was a faded white, instead of the bright white you choose. Thats just my personal prefernce, as I am certain someone else may prefer it to be red or blue. Otherwise I love it.
smeggs Oct 19, 2017 @ 9:32pm 
this is good
Hugs  [author] Oct 19, 2017 @ 6:28pm 
@Veles

Do you mean where I still have a black outline but it's a light grey, a black version with white outline, or something else?
Hugs  [author] Oct 19, 2017 @ 6:28pm 
@P H I L B O S W A G G I N S:

I might change the name of this font to just Army Stencil. Kinda found out after posting this that the stencil isn't only used by the US, and isn't the only stencil used.

What I believe you're asking about is one of the other styles here that haven't painted over the bridge of the stencil:

@Kaiki Deishu @Kaiser Wilhelm the Trump

I like the idea of the Wolfenstein font, and started working on it already. I'll probably skip on Futura as I find it a bit too generic IMO. There's only a couple problems with the Wolfenstein Font so far:

None of the versions of the font I found support languages outside of English, and German. So I'll only support those two. Characters from other langauges will use the character without the diacritic. I will however add the diacritic to characters used in the base game or make the characters where that's not possible.

Second is that I can't make the font work exactly like it does in the logo, or font itself. f, and t are supposed to hang over the next character, but that's not possible in HOI4 it seems. So those characters make a rather large space between them, and the next character.

Love it, but would love it even more if it were slight darker.

Best font? Best mod.

That's fun, it makes whole countries look like pieces of military hardware :D
Kaiki Deishu Oct 18, 2017 @ 5:17pm 
@Kaiser Wilhelm the Trump Im afraid I dont know the official name of that font, I only know of Futura sadly
StinkyPaws Oct 18, 2017 @ 2:56pm 
@Kaiki Deishu What about the font used for the main part of the title that is addressed as "Wolfenstein"?
Plundererking Oct 18, 2017 @ 2:34pm 
Makes the names thicc nice
Ballamory Oct 18, 2017 @ 1:53pm 
Make one for the british stencil?
Kaiki Deishu Oct 17, 2017 @ 6:44pm 
I know the font used in general for Wolfenstein is called Futura

Here's a website that uses a generator for the Return to Castle Wolfenstein font.

@Divine Yuri @Kaiser Wilhelm the Trump That would be amazing if you could make a font mod with a Wolfenstein theme! That would be an amazing sub-mod for our mod Hearts of Wolfenstein! :ghsmile:
