@TGC is there a tool or perhaps function in Reloaded that lets us convert/ create a font out of a ttf font to be used in Reloaded?



If not what is the plan regarding Fonts



On a sidenote,

i found a nice app on the tgc forums that lets one create

oO

well what i mean is changing the hud/ game fonts

used by reloaded.



Are we supposed to buy fontpacks afterwards? to be honest if it is that way, well it would be a dissapointment.

At the moment I use an artist to produce the bitmap font images that Reloaded requires, and I am not sure what tool he uses though it's probably something like a plugin via Photo Shop. You might want to pose this question in the AGK forums as we share the same bitmap font file type

Hogging the awesome since 1999

thanks well, seems like i have found what the tool is



http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&b=8&t=184828&p=0



Now the process of creating Fonts for Reloaded seems to be a lil bit complex, at least on the first look.



One need to

enable following checks in the generate Tab



*Tileset *Extra Data



*Save Power of 2 sized images





To get the placement right in Reloaded, one will need to copy paste the content of the

output subimages.txt and replace the stock .fnt files



Note: The output subimages.txt is the coordinates that you will get generated by the tool.



If you take a look at a .fnt file, you will see its coordinates, the rest is in the png files itself.



I will show some pics when i get a font into reloaded but this looks already promissing.



Anyways i hope someone will find this useful
