In Topic: Idea: Indie Gmc Games Site

11 January 2009 - 08:23 AM

I would like to commend you on starting your site. A lot of times, many ideas come up and then are then shovelled into a defensive corner and then no one takes it up. And although I agree with a lot of what rinkuhero has said, its going to be a good idea to review good quality games. Not only would it benefit the good games but would also hopefully make others aspire to make better games.

I have seen some sites that restrict themselves to games made using a particular tool only, like you have ones for Flash and XNA. So there is nothing wrong in having more than one source for good games.

There is a spritefont image in the post I made over here: http://gmc.yoyogames...howtopic=414503. The post also contains help in how to use the sprite font in GM.

I can confirm that the latest settings posted by Smarty work perfectly.

Thanks Khelder and Smarty.

There must be something wrong with this sprite as I managed to get the ~ (tilde) character. I shall use a good reference to create the sprite font so that I do not miss any character.

This sprite font can be used perfectly well. But did you load that as a single sprite? Or did you use the Create from Strip to create a single sprite with each subimage being a character? Because it's the last one that you need to do.

These are the settings under Create from Strip to properly import your sprite:

number of images: 158
images per row: 18
image width: 8
image height: 8
horizontal cell offset: 0
vertical cell offset: 0
horizontal pixel offset: 1
vertical pixel offset: 1
horizontal seperation: 1
vertical seperation: 1

You may need to import less than 158 of the images, because I don't think you need the characters at the end of the set.



Thanks for that smarty. I imported 96 images. It works wonderfully now.

Thanks to all those who attempted to help me as well.
