I designed a map that displays all SC2 text styles in a dialog.

How it works?
When the map starts a HUGE dialog with a lot a labels will show up. Each
label displays text with a SC2 text style applied to it. The name of the
style used for the label is set as it's tooltip. The dialog has pages which
can be scrolled using the buttons at the bottom right corner of the dialog.
The dialog is HUGE it is designed for 1280x1024 screen resolution
so people with lower resolutions might need to switch to this one
so the dialog is displayed properly.


What's it good for?
Well, it visualizes the SC2 text styles...

Thanks for taking your time to post this, but exactly what do I need it for? If I wanted to look how a certain style looks, I can just make a test trigger and test it myself.

It would go faster than downloading this map, opening it, testing it, finding the correct one.

Would it be better if the tool isn't a map, but an executable tool for glancing at a font style and instantly tells the mapmaker how to make that style?

This map is still good enough. Nice work. :)

@Siretu: I designed it so I could see the text styles, choose a good
looking one and then check it's name. There are 938 styles I doubt you
got the nerve to test them all separately.
If you already picked a style then you don't need this map to see it.

@tom_mai78101: It's time consuming... creating a map is faster. Well
if I have the time and patience to create executable I will.

You can also upload the map here in your post, where you manage your attachments. That way, people won't have to go all the way around just to get the map.

I can't upload .SC2Map files. I'll have to put it into an archive and stuff
which is the same as using 2Shared.com to store the file.

Plus there is very little storage space on the forum so I attach files that
I'm going to delete fast.

I added another link for direct download, but it's on a bulgarian server. I'm
not sure if everyone can access it.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
