Font, note background, timeline issues - PutraenusAlivius - 06-03-2013

Hey guys. I have some problems lately. Not scripting, not that. I'm confused by the font, note background and timeline issues.

Here's what problem I have.

At what year the candlestick telephone invented and used?
Is it possible to change the default font without making a full conversion or changing the note background without doing that too?
At what year does electricity is spread commercially?

Hope you can help me.

You need a full conversion as far as I'm aware to change the font and to change the note background. The fonts are set in the game.cfg and menu.cfg files, not sure about the note though (I'll take a quick look).

Edit: Yes you need a Full Conversion for the note too. Not sure where you specify it though, still trying to figure it out. Tongue

You need a full conversions for both of them. I THINK (not sure)

and electricity started to spread in the 1880s

Thanks for the replies. But I don't know about candlestick telephone.

Wikipedia it. If you can't find a definite date just make your sure game date is a bit later.

Fine, I will. Thanks anyway.

EDIT:
Got it! Late 1890's!

Note background? You mean a pictures? Its can change without FC.
In .ent file:
<Var Name="ImageFile" Value="background here" />

The London Tower Bridge was completed in 1894. Does a newspaper article published to the whole world, primarily the United States?

RE: Font, note background, timeline issues - PutraenusAlivius - 06-09-2013

I have another issue and instead of making a new thread, I'd rather to bump this one.

At the year 1897, does the economy of the United States low?
