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...

Search for "Save file to your PC: click here" on the page - this is the
real download link.

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.
 
General chit-chat
Help Users

  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
