更换游戏字体
Overview 5.0 更新了,字体变成了微软雅黑。也许有人不喜欢,至少我不喜欢,因为它在我的小屏幕上显示效果太差了。我试着做了一个 MOD 来修改字体,可惜没有效果,于是写了这篇指南。我将在这篇指南中说明一下,如何更改游戏的字体。 直入主题,第三步开始可能是你想要的信息。 1. 在你的游戏列表中,右键点击《Age of Empires II: HD Edition》,并进入“属性”。 2. 切换到“本地文件”选项卡,并点击“浏览本地文件”。 3. 有一些文件夹,我们依次进入“resources” -> “zh” -> “strings” -> “key-value”,找到一个(也是唯一一个)叫做“key-value-strings-utf8.txt”的文件,请备份这个文件。 4. 用你顺手的文本编辑器打开这个文件,下图中使用 Notepad++,并将所有的 “Microsoft YaHei”(微软雅黑)全部替换成 “Simsun” (宋体)或你想要的字体的字族名称,如 “SimHei” (黑体)“FZXiaoBiaoSong-B05”(方正小标宋)等,直接使用我们知道的字体名称如“宋体”“黑体”是不行的(游戏不认)。如果你不知道字体的字族名称,可以使用一些字体查看器,确定其字族名称。 你可以将下面的 “LiSu”(隶书)也替换成你想要的字体。 注:如果游戏找不到你指定的字体,字体会变成你系统默认的字体,一般是宋体(在Windows下)。 再注:我使用 FontForge 来确定字体的字族名称,但是使用起来并不方便。GIMP 这个图像处理软件显示字体名称使用的是字族名称,也可以间接用来找字体。如果你知道有什么东西能简单地查看字体的字族名称,烦请留言。 4.5. 你要先将你想要的字体安装在系统中,才能让游戏找到你的字体,对字体点右键选择安装即可。 5. 进入游戏查看效果,若不是你想要的效果,请至第四步再次更换你的字体。 “key-value-strings-utf8.txt”这个文件包含游戏内的字体设置以及游戏内的文字,可以随意更改。你可以设置字体和其大小,你可以看到有一部分是连续的三个编号自上而下是字体名,大小以及样式(N普通B粗体I斜体等)。我对这个文件并没有深入研究(也许以后会),你可以试着更改这些,看看每一个更改对应游戏的哪里。你也可以将文本进行简繁转换或者制作其它方言版本。但请注意不要破坏这个文件的格式,一旦这个文件有损坏,将导致游戏无法启动。这也是在之前建议你做个备份的原因。 另外,更改字体的方法同样适用于其它语言,比如…… 在学日语吗? 如果你是个日语爱好者或者正在学习日语,你可能会想使用日语来体验游戏。但如果在中文 Windows 环境下将游戏切换到日语,文本是以宋体显示的,不是那么美观。我们也可以使用以上这种方法修改字体。 我们要找到找到“游戏的目录resourcesjpstringskey-value”里面的“key-value-strings-utf8.txt”,同样地,一定要记得备份。 我们可以打开它看一下,其字体指定的是“MS Pゴシック”(MS PGothic,微软哥特体P)。也许这样在日文 Windows 环境下没有问题,但这是中文 Windows 环境,问题是有的。 我们只要将“MS Pゴシック”替换成“MS PGothic”就可以了,如下: … Read more更换游戏字体
