lu9 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Does someone know if there is a TTF font for the LEGO Racers menu or if someone has made it? EDIT: I think I found it. At least, the font that most looks like it is Foo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrem Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I believe it uses a BMP Font, you will see the files in the archives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JrMasterModelBuilder Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Foo is much different from the LEGO Racers fonts. There are actually 4 bitmaped font files: FONT_EMB.BMP, FONT_HLP.BMP, FONT_THS.BMP, and FONTMENU.BMP which are referenced by GFONTS.FDB, probably some kind of descriptor file to map out where each character is in the bitmap. I'm not 100% sure what each bitmap is or how they differ though as they are compressed with the strange format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lu9 Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 If we could discover how to open the BMPs (which you guys were researching alot for that) we can make a TTF font of LEGO Racers :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le717 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 If someone want to make a LEGO Racers TTF (which, if one didn't, this topic would not exist), you can use this: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/le717/LEGO-Racers/Racers-1/1999/lego_racers_font_sheet.png Ripped the Font Sheet out by using 3D Ripper DX. It came from the 2001 version, but it is the same for both. Enjoy. When someone gets it made, whenever I get my Racers Click-And-Go Installer, I'll set it to installer with it (that is, if the end-user wants it to. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lu9 Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 nice rip! I Might try to do it, or someone else that knows well how to create fonts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumboking Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Ripped the Font Sheet out by using 3D Ripper DX. It came from the 2001 version, but it is the same for both. Strange... When I replace the MENUDATARACERS.BMP with any font BMP, it's a long strip, not a square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbob Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 More strange, why are the letters in the wrong order? Yeah, that is pretty weird! Whats with you lately replying to old threads with little to no help? It's only less than a month old When ripping the textures myself, I found another which seemed to be used for the start of races. I can't remember exactly, but it was ordered something like '1 2 3 4 5 6 G O F I N S H'. So, it's in the order that the characters are required. I.e. the I wasn't placed twice as it was already used before. So I reckon it's to do with the order they're required... About the TTF, I'll see if I can make one. EDIT: I hadn't realised that most free font creation programs don't support using images, so I don't about that. However, I did make this directly from the BMP file, you can upload it to Fontifier and pay $10 for it if you're really interested: LR Font.

High school is the best time to learn about these things and prepare yourself for college if your planning on taking something programming-related.

Jimbob Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 The linked 'LR Font' image is the image file, you then need to use Fontifier to purchase it for $10. I haven't bought it myself and I doubt it'd be legal to do so and then distribute it, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RibShark Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Just a point about the order of the letters; they seem to roughly follow the most to the least common letters of the English alphabet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said somewhere earlier, I think it's in the order they used the letters, so that would make sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitawrap Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I found it!!!! I found an unofficial copy of the LEGO Racers' font ! "Startling" on Dafont.com http://www.dafont.com/fr/startlingfont.font Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Unfortunately that's not quite the same. Not only are the letters a lot taller and thinner, many don't match the LEGO Racers font - the 'E' is larger at the top rather than the base, the 'I' is missing serifs, the Q is much different, most of the holes are different, etc. Still, that's very similar, good find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le717 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I guess this is the place to post this... I just did an experiment with the font sheet and enlargement, and just like the powerup HUD, it has coordinates, and enlarging them messes everything up. FONTMENU.BMP and FONT_THS.BMP (GAMEDATAENGLISH) enlarged 300%. Did not attempt a race, Racers 1999 @ 1366x768. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
