Character Size Question

Hi! Just a quick question, will this work if every character in my font has a width of 18 pixels and a height of 32? 


This is the font I'm using, but I still have to set it up to be usable with your plugin.

 I have tested other similar plugins and I had some problems, like for example both width and height had to be the same. So just making sure :)

Hi there!

The font will work as long as you proper format it to work. When you are creating the Bitmap (png) file, you need to make sure that every font character is inside of a grid. On your case 32x18 (Height x width). The size of the font will the same as the height of your png file.

The width don't need to be 18. You can even use a width of 50. As long as each character font fits inside a grid alone. The plugin will auto calculate the width of each character to display it properly.

You can take a look at the help file(how to use) on the plugin page, even without purchase the plugin. On the sample project there is also some font examples for you to take a look too.

I don't know if I manage to answer you properly. Let me know if you have any more doubts :)

Thank you! The plugin works great but something the project crashes (not everytime) at startup. This is the crash report. EliBook is version 5.4.17

Hi there!

It seems to me that the plugin is not finding the FontBitmap. One reason for that, can be that on the plugin parameters you did not put the filename of the font correctly. Or you did not put a font face name too.

Make sure you open your plugin parameters and double check this. Filenames are case sensitive.

Another reason could be that you are may be trying to load an old save file that previously did not have that plugin. If you install this plugin, you need to start a new game.

Also, try to set the parameter "Build bitmap file" to true.

Let me know the results!

====================

Also, about the other errors, both with my EliMZ_WindowSkin and the Luna links, these kind of error messages are very likely to be a problem with the plugin parameters. So, take a look at both this plugin parameters. Open them, see if they are properly filled.

On my plugin, I think the parameter problem is on the "Default Window Settings" parameter. Make sure it's not empty.
