Thanks for the suggestion Tom but I'm still having some problems. I added my
font to the end of ClientScheme.res so it looks like this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//////////////////////// CUSTOM FONT FILES /////////////////////////////
//
// specifies all the custom (non-system) font files that need to be
loaded to service the above described fonts
CustomFontFiles
{
"1" "resource/CustomFont.ttf"
"2" "resource/HL2crosshairs.ttf"
"3" "resource/HALFLIFE2.ttf"
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now when I pick up my weapon it doesn't flash any icon and the bucket
contains the weapon name but not the icon (instead of flashing and
displaying the letter "a" like it did before). Any further ideas or
solutions on this? Thanks.
