Arabesk 4

Post by DarrelCharest »

Normally adding titles to the subchapter menu in Arabesk is simple and straight forward. However, it seems I've lost the ability to add subchapter titles or worse yet, forgotten how!

Working the title menu screen goes well until I'm ready to add text for the chapter title. The text seems to be accepted when entered but no title appears.

The instructions state that a "text field" always exists, and that if you don't wish to have text in your menu you simply delete the text content itself. In this case I'm 180 degrees out of phase.

Where have I gone wrong?

Hello Darell,

So, if I understand your scenario correctly - you are having difficulty adding the titles/text to the Buttons in the Chapter Menu, right? In the Chapter Menu menu - this is done from the 'Button Text' button. You add the text (as you have apparently done) and then adjust where it sits relative to the button (icon) itself by the 'Alignment' button. Try modifying the font and the size of the font.

Regards,
Chet

Thanks for your prompt reply Chet.

It is not the buttons, but the Chapters containing the buttons that I can't add the title text.

Hmmmm - sorry Darell, not getting the problem here. Speak s-l-o-w-l-y and use big words so I can understand :D
Are you having difficulty adding the titles/text to the chapter buttons in the chapter menu? If yes, that was what my above post was supposed to guide you through. If not, please restate the issue (or maybe somebody else reading this has caught your drift).
Sorry I am foggy on this (I live just 20 miles from the Golden Gate Bridge so that's why I am so foggy sometimes ;) )

Regards,
Chet

Thanks again Chet,

I'm not sure what happened, but I changed hard drives, OS, and video clips and whatever it was, this cleared the issue.

Its not you or the fog, but my funky attempt at describing the problem that was misleading.

Thanks,

Darrel
