Hi steelpsg, what has happened is for some reason the special dodlogo true type font file is not showing, the "4" character in the font file "dodlogo.ttf" (dod/resource) is the fire select bullet.

The game is grabbing a character "4" from another font file for some reason, maybe because of settings in a res file or the "dodlogo.ttf" is bad or has been changed.

The mod_textures.txt file in the dod/scripts folder holds the info' of what character to use in font files/graphic files used through out the hud....

}

"fireselect_bullet"
{
"font" "ClientTitleFontPlayerIcons"
"character" "4"
}

Now the font setting "ClientTitleFontPlayerIcons" is also mentioned in the ClientSheme.res file....
}

ClientTitleFontPlayerIcons
{
"1"
{
"name" "Day of Defeat Logo"
"tall" "25"
"weight" "0"
"additive" "0"
"antialias" "1"
}
}


That name in there "name" "Day of Defeat Logo" is the name of the font file "dodlogo.ttf".

One other thing to check in the ClientScheme.res is down the bottom...

//////////////////////// CUSTOM FONT FILES ///////
//
//
CustomFontFiles
{
"1" "resource/DODlogo.ttf"
}
}

Make sure that is in there too, it tells the ClientScheme.res where to look for the custom font files.

Basically the problem will centre around the special font file.
