2 fully working fonts and how to fix yours

Posted: 14 Jan 2018 04:29 PM PST

I've been using a custom font for as long as I can remember because I think the standard font is too thin and hard to read sometimes. Recently I found out how great the Roboto font looks in-game and I've been editing it to implement characters/symbols that the game uses that don't usually come with fonts and generally made them look more appealing. Some people have asked me how to get my font so I thought I could share it here.

There's 2 fonts; Roboto Medium and Roboto Bold that both had their numbers replaced with Noto Sans' numbers. I've taken a couple screenshots with both fonts to show what it looks like in-game.

  1. Roboto Medium Marketplace, Symbols

    Download link

  2. Roboto Bold Marketplace, Symbols

    Download link

edit: Now supporting text emotes and everything else that makes global chat so desirable to read :)

If you've never worked with a custom font and you want to use one you have to do this first:

  1. In your main game folder (the folder that contains "bin", "bin64", etc.), create a new folder and name it prestringtable.
  2. In prestringtable, create a new folder and name it font.
  3. Rename the .ttf file of the font you want to use to pearl.ttf and place it in the font folder.
  4. Start/restart your client!

So basically, [BDO folder]->prestringtable->font->pearl.ttf

Source link

If you have your file extensions hidden (basically if all your files are just names not followed with an extension like .txt, .exe, .ttf, etc) just name the font "pearl" and leave out the .ttf or your file will technically be "pearl.ttf.ttf" and it won't register.

Unfortunately I can only confirm these work for NA/EU if you play on a client that doesn't use the Latin alphabet you'll probably run into problems with these. If there's any missing characters and you know what they're supposed to be let me know and I can look into it.

FIXING YOUR FONT

If you are using a font that you like but it's missing these symbols you can download FontForge, open your font with it and merge it with one of the above. It will fill in all missing glyphs while keeping everything from your font.

  1. Put both fonts you'll be using in your Documents folder
  2. Open FontForge and select your font.
  3. At the top select Element > Merge fonts and select one of mine.
  4. It will ask you about retaining the kerning info, I usually select Yes. If this creates a problem you can try No. **
  5. At the top select File > Generate font, name it "pearl.ttf" and deselect "Validate before saving" (there's probably going to be a lot of errors popping up if you don't)
  6. If it shows a popup about kerning just click OK and you'll find your generated font in Documents which you can put in your bdo fonts folder.

** Look at the glyphs that just got implemented(marked in blue) and check if they're about the same size as your base font. If neither of these give a good result you'll have to play around with resizing, moving, changing width and everything else that comes with it.

I am by no means an expert with Fontforge or anything fonts, I just picked it up and played around with it for a little bit. If you have issues with generated fonts I will most likely not be able to help you.

Thanks for reading and enjoy.

Black Desert Future of Open World PvP - Adrenaline - Satisfaction - Fun

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 02:43 AM PST

First of all let me expalin myself;

Atleast %80 of people playing Black Desert for PvP/PK purpose right? If not what is the reason of getting stronger and stronger each other day? So read this carefully for the best PvP/PK future of BDO;

Black desert needs Open World PvP/PK Reasons/Benefits/Symbols/Weekly-Ranks which boosts Players with Fun, Reason to PvP/PK, Having Adrenaline, Satisfaction of Getting Stronger, Sad but True ''EGO'' which give players a Huge boost of PvP/PK, a Huge Show-off system with PvP-PK Symbols to other players in Towns with ONLY obtainable with

World PvP-PK Ranking system..;

Black Desert already has this System in-game at the moment but they are not AWARE of it,

Black Desert has PvP-PK Channels which is good but where is the REASON,BENEFIT,ADRENALINE,SATISFACTION,EGO?

Sadly the World PvP Channels only Reason to PvP is Monsters Slots for More XP which is boring a timeafter,

So you asking to me What is this System you trying to tell us? Let me explain;

Now think about Black Desert Red Battlefield Point System which is really fun to have more Points = More Adrenaline,

Now think about Black Desert Open World PvP-PK Channel,

Now COMBINE them;

Black Desert World PvP-PK Server with 2 Ranking List; 1- Weekly Ranking List 2- Lifetime Ranking List

RBF Ranking system is EPIC because NO-ONE Never will be top RANKS forever(Including-P2W-Whales)

Now as you can see we are on World PvP-PK Server with similar point system of Red Battle Field,

Now we can go Solo PvP-PK as a player and try to Gank-Kill more people to have more Points,

As the sameway of RBF We lose half of points when we die in Open world,

Now think about ADRENALINE,FUN,SATISFACTION we got but im not DONE yet listen;

Add a Ranking Symbol System to game which is near our name with a Artistic design that shows our World PvP-PK Rank Power which only obtainable with Open World PvP-PK Channel PK'ing..,

Now just give yourself a minute and think about this World PvP-PK Channels with this new System,

Think about the Fun

  • Showing your Symbol Ranks in Towns to other players with Charisma of it

  • Having Adrenaline in World PvP-PK Channels because FEAR of Losing HALF of the Points

  • Weekly Resets which gives New PvP Players to Catch-up Ranking

  • RBF Ranking system is EPIC because NO-ONE Never will be top RANKS forever

  • Satisfaction of Having Bigger numbers above of your NAME and with a Stylish Symbol

So here you go,

I hope best for future of Black Desert PvP and as an old MMORPG gamer wish you all good luck!

Returning player asking house fund question

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 06:45 AM PST

I'm looking to get back into BDO, I still need to buy the game, but about 2 years ago I got a key for a 7 day guest pass from a friend. If I buy the game on this account that was already created, will there be stockpiled silver from the fame house fund or is that only for active accounts?

Question about the plans for the revamped quest system.

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 06:24 AM PST

I'm a former player who is thinking about returning after reading this article regarding upcoming improvements to BDO. One of the things that turned me off to BDO was the kill grind. So, the part about revamping the quest system caught my eye. In it, they mention that "To revamp the quest system, a new feature called the 'Story Book' will be introduced. With the Story Book, players can make money by doing quests all day. Story Book will allow not only a silver bonus but also gives a Combat EXP Bonus and Skill EXP Bonus." But I had a quick question about one specific part of this section of the article which says:

and these quests will be made a lot more enjoyable

This seems like a vague statement. Has there been any clarification on what this means exactly? Does it mean less grinding? And if not, any thoughts regarding what it could mean? I also saw that this article is from December 6, 2017, so if I'm behind the times please call me a n00b and let me know what's changed :-P

Constant disconnects?

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 06:14 AM PST

Can't stay connected to BDO for more than a minute for the past 3 hours?

I log in, load into Calpheon, game lags a shit ton struggling to load anything for a good minute, then everything derenders and I get booted to the main menu.

Any advice? This is the only game that this happens in.

EXTREMELY slow download speeds, like I'm being blocked or something is broken

Posted: 15 Jan 2018 04:24 AM PST

I really want to try out BDO now that a server is opening near my location (this being the SEA client). However, when I try and download the game through the installer I will get a slow speed for about 2-4 seconds before it instantly drops to 0.01KB/s. I have no idea what is causing this and it is driving me absolutely bonkers.

I'm currently in China, but when I used to play GW2 I downloaded from the NA servers at 4MB/s. So distance is not the issue.
