With these you can stack any thing with the same or less characters. If you are doing less characters just place a space at the end and remove the extra character. If you cant figure it out DO NOT ASK ME OR ANYONE ELSE ANY MORE QUESTIONS.


Oh ya, NOTE: this is in game if you didnt know that! Also I modifi all stacks in notepad then put them in through sf.

I just finished a 16letter 2x overlapp My longest thus far! not going to share that on though

I suck at overlapping.. so i will use this if i need it.
Why are you guys bashing him so much..he's doing some people a favor.

Trial and error works for me. that way i can guaruntee they are perfect. Anyway, with units you can name each unit a subtle shift of the text and then go into the game and see which looks best. simple enough.

anyone know or care to share how to do 3x stack?

btw, you should add this info the tutorial

what do you mean does anyone know Its the same as 2x just incediably more hard!

I suck at overlap (i never really tried) and this helped me.. thx D-von lol

Let me THINK, ...., i think you need :
1/ The same font as in starcraft
2/ A program that can told you how many pixels a character is width
3/ Know the width of the text (or label) box of starcraft
And now, with these 3 things, i think you can make THE perfect overlapping formula
AND a perfect PREVIEW i told you : I just think
for the 1/ and the 3/, i really dont know the result, so if anyone know, plz tell me !!! And maybe I'll be able to make the formula ??
P.S. : Maybe it isn't the same font in game, lobby and briefing, so i need to know each one (the same for 3/ but that was evident ).

Thanks You !

3x overlap:
[OverlapBack][Color]TEXT[OverlapFont][Color]TEXT[OverlapBack][Color]TEXT[Tab][Tab]
After the tabs: If it's in a force put one space, and if its in a name put two.

Nice! Thanks

wow grateful people! the first page was mostly people nagging about how pointless this was. I knew this could help somebody

I use overlaps not to overlap shadow's or anything I use them to add effects to the units wireframe. Oh and overlaps aren't a pointless feature their as much a feature as the game itself. All depends on how much you like it.

So what about 4 overlaps? I saw it in the forces of NadaBound.
Not that this is a bit much, but I've been looking for a system that works, and have so far come up empty handed.

GOD! WTF I know, if you look at most topics in forums, MOST people treat eachother like crap. I mean GOD he's just trying to help, although you guys give constructive criticism (most of the time), it's still incredibly negative and I'd say offencive to people trying to help others.

I think overlapping now isn't an extra thing, it is now a standard. I won't ever release another map without lapped forces. (Unless it's too long a word)

Illusion are you blaq95? I remember blaq showed me that (wirefram effects using overlaps) in one of his maps (The Matrix rpg of some sort)

if the overlap is good, you should be able to read it well. Overlaps are good though, because it keeps the noobs happy.

I can't seem to overlap the word "chill." in 2x or 3x. Can someone help me? Please.

Here's a Double and A triple for forces, past them in. I attached in a .txt because the plain text here s up

Thanks. I've been trying to get that overlap right all week.

Well, like... a few minutes... every day or two... for a week.

I made this tutprial for MCs website like 8 months ago

thanks for sharing that. what good was it there, muwhahaha nobody would see it there.
