T7FontLoader

A font loader for T7 (Black Ops III)

Features:

• Allows you to load fonts to prevent lag from happening when the font first appears

Setup:

1. Download T7FontLoader.lua from the GitHub page
2. Put the lua file inside of the UI folder (located in: Black Ops III/usermaps/yourmap)
3. Add it to your zone file by adding the following: rawfile,UI/T7FontLoader.lua
4. Go into your map's main lua file (usually called t7hud_zm_custom) and add require("UI.T7FontLoader")

How to use

To use the FontLoader, you must first open your main HUD file (usually called t7hud_zm_custom). Once that's been done, go to your PreLoadCallback function. Above CoD.Zombie.CommonPreLoadHud(self, controller) is where we'll get started.

The FontLoader comes with 3 parameters: Sender, Fonts, filePath. filePath is an optional parameter, as that by default is set to the "Fonts" folder. If you fail to provide a value to Sender or Fonts, you'll be greeted with an Error Message saying you've not put a value in.

Important things to note: No file extension has to be added to the "Fonts" parameter (examples provided below in the how to use) and this unfortunately doesn't 100% eliminate the lag depending on the font! Some fonts are made poorly/busted and will result in lag, if this is the case you're usually better off with a new font.

How to call the FontLoader

The FontLoader can be called in 2 ways, the first is as follows and is the "easier to read" one:

FontLoader(self, "Font1")
FontLoader(self, "Font2")
FontLoader(self, "Font3")
FontLoader(self, "Font4")

You can also however provide a table like so:

FontLoader(self, {"Font1", "Font2", "Font3", "Font4"})

If you have any subfolders in your folder "Fonts" that'll be no problem. You can simply add that to the string like the example provided below:

FontLoader(self, {"Bold/FontBold1", "Italic/ItalicFont1", "Font1", "Font2"})

or

FontLoader(self, "FontBold1", "Fonts/Bold")
FontLoader(self, "ItalicFont1", "Fonts/Italic")
FontLoader(self, "Font1")
FontLoader(self, "Font2")
