So, I downloaded a new font and I love it, but the instructions have me create a shortcut to D2 with -direct after the quotes. When I start with MEDIAN XL LAUNCHER, it does not start with the fonts. I tried editing the path on the Launcher Settings, but it only has me select the D2 directory. How can I get the Launcher to start with custom fonts?

Also, where is the new GFX mod/shader? It's not in TOOLS on the website. I don't see any stickied topic for it. Both strange for being in the trailer but not at all promoted. Anyway, can someone direct me to the topic plz?

Thank you.

I'm not sure about the font issue but the answer to your other question is:

Thank you Jammy. The font with -direct works with cnc draw, but you have to run cnc-draw from the .bat, so to answer my own question, you cannot run either through launcher at this time, but you can run both via cnc-draw. BTW, the overlay looks truly amazing! I recommend it to everyone!

Why do you want to run it from an app? You do a shortcut to game.exe and " -direct. All 7 fonts work for both cncdraw and d2dx. Try to look at the configuration file. C: / xxx / appdataroaming / medianxl / launcher and there in the file try to switch direct from false to true.

What exactly do you mean with 'overlay'? I couldn't find that term in the linked post.

All of these shaders are wrappers/overlays (same thing). They cover the original gfx with modern gfx and effects... they don't modify the original gfx at all - those remain untouched - they mask over it. Lol, what did you think happens when you use a shader?
