Vanilla Doom font

[Mav3r1ck]

I'm looking for smallfnt.imp and fbigfont.imp with vanilla Doom's font style and I want to convert into a different palette (palplus) in Slade 3. The goal is to have it show up in the game menu and options in a darker contrast. The idea stems from PSX Doom's dark red menu. So I got palplus and used it. However, I noticed that some of the doom's font's (especially in the options menu) weren't using the palette and were still bright red (I'm guessing I did something wrong or it's hardcoded) as if not using the custom palplus.

Is there a way to get a hold of smallfnt.imp and fbigfont.imp using Doom's vanilla font?

If the font gets colorized, this won't help you. You'd have to edit the textcolor.txt lump in gzdoom.pk3 to change the translation ranges. This especially applies to the (only remaining) parts in the option menu, i.e. the captions.

You have to be careful with the fonts anyway because if you create an improper replacement, all the international characters will be whacked.

Thank your for your reply. I also have 2 more questions.

1. Why does the quit text always stay the same default red color?

2. When using a custom font, how do you get it to apply to the options menu?

1) It should use the font's original color.
2) You can't. To allow a font replacement here, a lot more internal work is needed, for which I haven't had time yet. Just using the regular game font does not work with the current menu code.
