Hi again! thank you so much for your continued help... its been really really helpful to me and I really appreciate it.

Sadly, i've got another issue :(

Below is the bitmap font I built, running correctly in your provided sample world.  (also ignore the cutoff i was tinkering with the resolution to see if that was the issue)

(itch io was being weird posting part 2 in another comment)

Below is using the same font, with the same settings (Eli Book & BitmapFont are at the top of the plugin list), in my own project file. I also started a new project just to see if it was happening in both. Sadly it is... I thought that by maybe setting the 'use space as bitmap' to false it would fix the problem, but sadly it seemed to do nothing? I haven't tried deleting the cached bitmap font though. Maybe that has the space stored in it or something.

(my current project)

That error is usually when you have the wrong size of your bitmap font because your characters list on the plugin parameters does not match the characters you typed on your bitmap font sprite sheet. Both must have the same order and the same amount of characters.

As you can see above, this is a list of all the characters the bitmap font will have. On your image editor, when creating the bitmap font, you must create it following the orders you put on the plugin parameters.

Let's say the total of characters is, for example, 90. And your grid width is 40. 90x40 = 3600. The width of your bitmap font file must be 3600. So take a look at your bitmap font file, and make this math to see if matches.

Also, you can put my Eli Book on the top, but it's always best to my bitmap plugin at the bottom of your plugin list.

If you still didn't manage to make it work, I guess now I will really need you to build a sample project replicating the issue and send it to me, so I can take a look and find if it is a plugin conflict, or else.

EDIT: Take a look at this post here on itch io. This person has the same problem you had:

That worked great, I did have the same problem as the commentor that you linked... an @ was stuck on that wasn't accounted for in the Signs part of the plugin. Thank you so much for your continued help and I hope I won't have to ask for any more lol.

Glad you solved it! And don't worry, ask anything you want ^^
