blackhornet

I used for C3

[[7," "],[6,"'"],[8,"Iil!|"],[9,"j1.,;:-`"],[10,"\"()[]"],[11,"Jft\\°"],[12,"rz?*"],[13,"acdehqsvxy57/=<>"],[14,"Lbgknopu023689~+€"],[15,"CEFXZ4_#$"],[16,"ABDGHKNPQRSTUVY£"],[17,"Ow"],[18,"%"],[19,"MWm@"],[20,"&"]]

for C2

{""c2array"":true,""size"":[2,15,1],""data"":[[[7],[6],[8],[9],[10],[11],[12],[13],[14],[15],[16],[17],[18],[19],[20]],[["" ""],[""'""],[""Iil!|""],[""j1.,;:-`""],[""\""()[]""],[""Jft\\°""],[""rz?*""],[""acdehqsvxy57/=<>""],[""Lbgknopu023689~+€""],[""CEFXZ4_#$""],[""ABDGHKNPQRSTUVY£""],[""Ow""],[""%""],[""MWm@""],[""&""]]]}

for Character Spacing : -1

Hi blackhornet

How are you?

I am using the Sprite Font Generator (last version) to create a sprite font to use in C3. After I generated it I copy/paste the information in the script created specifically to C3 sprite font (spacing data field) but the space around the characters is not changing and I don't know why.

For example: I created a sprite font and I pasted this script into the spacing data field;

[6," "],[3,",'"],[4,".|`´"],[5,";:"],[6,"\""],[5,"I()\\"],[6,"clt?!~"],[7,"er1-"],[8,"josvz[]"],[9,"bfgpquxy89"],[10,"Sahk34567/"],[11,"CEGn"],[12,"BHJKPd02"],[13,"ADFIOQRT"],[14,"LNXw"],[15,"V"],[16,"UYZm_"],[18,"M"],[22,"W"]]

Nothing happened. I changed these values several times and even remove totally this script from the field and everything remains the same.

If I change the "character spacing" value, it reduces the space around the characters but although this solves the problem of the most characters, others practically merge with the others.

What am I doing wrong?

Someone else had this issue. Somehow during the copy and paste an escape backslash is lost for the backslash character! If you bring up the actual dialog for the spacing data, you'll see the [5,"I()\"] section is missing a backslash. Just type it back in and it all works: [5,"I()\\"]

It's not clear to who's at fault here - C3, the browser, copy/paste, the text editor used to open the file. It's definitely odd.

This part of the code was okay for me. The array code is exactly as appears in the txt/xml file:

[6," "],[3,",'"],[4,".|`´"],[5,";:"],[6,"\""],[5,"I()\\"],[6,"clt?!~"],[7,"er1-"],[8,"josvz[]"],[9,"bfgpquxy89"],[10,"Sahk34567/"],[11,"CEGn"],[12,"BHJKPd02"],[13,"ADFIOQRT"],[14,"LNXw"],[15,"V"],[16,"UYZm_"],[18,"M"],[22,"W"]]

I did not find de "i" character in this array code. Is it right?

EDITED - I found the error: I had two slashes on [6,"\""]. But I still have the problem with the "i" missing.

I'd also love this for macOS, I haven't been able to find an equiverlant and Scirra Ashley declined my suggestion on how to make things easier. https://construct3.ideas.aha.io/ideas/C3-I-607
