So, I have a question about mapping and why my mapping stuff/game looks different from others.

I'd like to know why I keep getting alien text when I compile my map. Is it because I have the steam version? I feel like that would be the only reason I'm getting the compiling errors. The ONLY way that my alien text will not appear is if I have the ULX MOD installed which I don't want. Is there a way I can fix this?

The problem would be that it is trying to compile your map using a font that isn't there. Make sure you aren't using any other fonts anywhere if you don't want any, and if you do want a font make sure to install it correctly and put in the mod.csv.
