ULX MOTD text blacked out
« on: February 16, 2014, 01:41:14 PM »
Hello, I am experiencing a text rendering issue I believe, however, I am unsure as to the proper way to fix it. All of the text in my MOTD is bordered by black blocks which make the black text impossible to read and the rest of it quite ugly. I was wondering if anyone knew of a solution to this problem if you have encountered it before. Thank you -Josh

Here is a screenshot showing what I mean: http://gyazo.com/1edcc935a418293811eaac84a8ff41ba

Restart your game.

If that doesn't work, change the font.

Thank you for the reply, but multiple users have seen this issue and I have tried switching the font to no avail.

Please attach your motd here.
Not sure what you're doing, but some formatting of the text/font in your HTML is likely causing the issue.

I would post the entire thing, but is rather long, so instead you can view it at my website, just view source.

For starters, just try testing NOT using any font style.
Helvetica, I think, is a Microsoft font, and I think Gmod html engine only has some basic fonts.

Ok, I have changed that at this time, however I was getting the same issue even when I had not specified a font. I changed it now because Neku had recommended it.

Strip it down to plain text and add each change to it incrementally to see what breaks it.

Ok, I changed the background color to RosyBrown, and that seems to have fixed it, thank you guys for helping.

If anyone else encounters this issue, try this code in your HTML

Code: [Select]
<body bgcolor="RosyBrown"></body>
