Customizing "PRESS START" Font and Position in OpenBOR 4.0.7735.0

Hi everyone đź‘‹

I'm currently working with OpenBOR version 4.0.7735.0 and I'm trying to customize the "PRESS START" prompt that appears on the title screen. Specifically, I want to:

  1. Change its position on screen (X/Y coordinates)
  2. Change the font used (e.g., switch to font2p or a custom .fnt)
I've already explored the usual suspects like drawstring() and drawbox() in script.c and title.txt, but I can't locate where the default "PRESS START" is being rendered. I also understand that hud_z has been deprecated in this version, and drawmethod.layer must now be used via a properly initialized drawmethod struct.

What I need to know is:

  • Where in the source or mod structure is the default "PRESS START" text drawn?
  • Is it hardcoded in the engine or exposed via script/entity?
  • How can I override its position and font without relying on translation.txt?
Any insight from those familiar with the 4.x rendering pipeline would be greatly appreciated. I'm aiming for a clean, modern HUD and would love to align this with the rest of my UI.

Thanks in advance for your help — and big respect to the devs and modders keeping OpenBOR alive and evolving 💪

Cheers, byteknight
