Load Custom Font

[cloudstrifer]

Hi, I need help with custom font.

Thank you!

Code: Select all

	u32 customFont = VDP_loadFont(&custom_font, DMA);		
	VDP_loadFontData(&customFont, custom_font.numTile, DMA);	

.res

Code: Select all

	TILESET custom_font "gfx/font.png" BEST
	PALETTE custom_pal "gfx/font.png"

You just need to use one or the other:

.res

Code: Select all

IMAGE custom_font  "gfx/font.png" BEST

.c

Code: Select all

VDP_loadFont(custom_font.tileset, DMA);	

should be enough to get your custom font loaded (i used IMAGE resource but the tileset as you did is also ok).
If you need to set a specific palette then don't forget to load the palette as well (by default text use PAL0 but you can change it)

Stef, using IMAGE and DMA my font didn't work correctly, instead of showing 60, it showed 71.


With the code below it works.

c

Code: Select all

	VDP_loadFont(&custom_font, CPU);

res

Code: Select all

	TILESET custom_font "gfx/font.png" -1

Thank you!
Thank you again for SGDK 1.41!

Oh i guess it "optimized" the empty (space) character
You can disable IMAGE optimisation declaring it that way :

Code: Select all

IMAGE custom_font  "gfx/font.png" BEST NONE

But TILESET may be better in the end to avoid that issue
