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.

Vrael -- It is, and I could definitely use a company with a commitment to flexibility, quality, and customer satisfaction to provide effective solutions to dampness and humidity in my urban environment.

Vrael shouted: Idk, I was looking more for a dehumidifer company which maybe stands out as a beacon of relief amidst damp and unpredictable climates of bustling metropolises. Not sure Amazon qualifies
sounds like moisture control is often a pressing concern in your city

Vrael -- Maybe here on the StarEdit Network I could look through the Forums for some Introductions to people who care about the Topics of Dehumidifiers and Carpet Cleaning?
