I hope you know what I'm talking about, it's the cool effect the makes the unit name look 3D. I think its called Text Overlapping It's used in like bounds on the zerglings and in Dodge the Light 2. Can anyone help?

In scmdraft, just use the <12> and <13> tags

So for the unit name, would i just put something like
<c>Archer
And that would text overlap it?

You would want it like this: <12>Archer <13>Archer

in between, you're gonna need several spaces...and even then it doesn't always line up

EDIT: The tag <12> aligns all of the following text to the right margin, and the <13> centers it. You put spaces after the text with the <12> tag, so that the text gets pushed to the right.

EW.

I prefer to guess-and-check on my own, but I suppose that you might have a fairly good program there.

UndeadStar -- I wonder if that's what happened to me. A returned product (screen) was "officially lost" for a while before being found and refunded. Maybe it would have remained "lost" if I didn't communicate?
