----------TO MAKE A QUICK FONT BITMAP---------
I use a paint program called ultimate paint which has a palette function on it and saves in 8 bit formats using the palette chart which makes this really easy, I type the characters down first in note pad and then in the paint editor using palette color 255 (the color i've reserved for font) on a black (0) background, then i figure out howmany pixils are from the start of the bitmap to the first character and place the color of that value (10 pixiles= color 10) at coor(0,0) followed by the number of characters+1 at coor(1,0), i save the note pad file as "FONT.FNT" and save the bitmap as "FONT.BMP"
I was doing a little re-reading and I noticed that I left out a piece of information out by accident
in the bitmap there needs to be a one pixil space between each character or the code will scan multiple characters as a single character.
I don't know if it's possible to put graphics from my computer into these post but if someone could explain how to do that i could just show what my font looks like and obviously eleminate every thing i got quoted above.Statistics: Posted by T'lon Nanaki — Fri Sep 19, 2008 1:55 am
