GTA2 Font Topic - TXT2GTA2 (Version 3 Released!)

And what are you using to draw them?
PictureBox?

It has property Visible, you can set that to true or false.

I don't know what and how you are drawing, so i can't give exact answer.

Yeah, picturebox. If user clicks radio-thing of normal font, it only sees font example, if he click large, he only gets large example.

I also have a different question.

I have in separate .h file my "working" code (doing string checks and all), but I have not been able to get those this-> things working there. How do I do that?
For example, I want to put in this->progressBar->Value = 10 or 50 or etc.

I scraped progressbar and released version 3. Please test and tell me how the gui works for you. I'm pretty content about how it turned out. Only the black box popping up is not so nice (however it does give a little information to user that it is working).

cool nut improve formating

what when i would like to do text like:

ababababababa
sdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfs
sdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfs

now it`s just straight line :<

just noticed strange bug:

Code:

[0]0[1]1[2]2[3]3[4]4[5]5[6]6[7]7[8]8[9]9[10]10[11]11[12]12[13]13[14]14[15]15[16]16[17]17[18]18[19]19

and Result:

Good bug spotting.

I know where the bug is, fixing it now.

Multi-line input will take some research before it can work (but I already got idea to make it work).

I added this text before download link:

Copyright: Fonts (images) are taken from Grand Theft Auto 2 (GTA2) game. Original creators are DMA Design (now Rockstar North).

Looks pretty "solid" and correct to me, or?

Cuban-Pete I noticed that in the version 3.0.1, the colour 19 (Zaibatsu) is lighter than the color 18 (same Zaibatsu color) in the python/1.1 version, you should try to fix that, even because the colour 18 in v1.1 looks more like Zaibatsu than in version 3.0.1 :p (not a real problem, but the darker one is better if someone wants to make a Zaibatsu-like text)

One more idea.
The text generator should show preview of what user will see in result.
So Font Example will show actually your text with the colors without generating images.

Probably difficult to implement but...

I indeed tweaked some colours (#7a8c8f vs #bbbbbb).

I will change the colour in next release, unless you say it's very important. Perhaps there are more "wrong" colours? Please tell now. The problem is that the "colour changer" from imagemagick (program that I use to edit images) does not create exactly the colour you enter so I needed to adjust for that.

Yeah, I had that idea also, but thought/think it's too difficult for me to make. I'm already glad I got a decent GUI, which is much better than console, also looks more professional. Perhaps in future release. I will put it under "things to do" list.

Sektor · **Posted:** Thu Feb 18, 2010 7:29 pm

It only takes a second to generate anyway, so you could just display the image after generation.

Showing a proper preview without writing to disk would be a complete new project that doesn't use Image Majik.

I tried making Menu text but it has a transparent background instead of black. Is that normal?

Gustavob · **Posted:** Thu Feb 18, 2010 7:34 pm

Cuban-Pete: I tested it right now and its only the Zaibatsu and Yakuza colours that are lighter in v3.0.1:

IMO in both ones, the darker one look more like gang one.

Yes, it has on purpose a transparent background, so you can place it on a different coloured background.
If you want a quick way to add black background, open cmd.exe at txt2gta2 main folder (or navigate to it) and enter:

Code:

imagemagick\convert.exe result03.png -background black -flatten result03.png

where result03.png is the file with the text.

@gustavob, I will also put Yakuza back (but it does look very dark).

I prefer the lighter v3.0.1 version of the gray text. Make sure your monitor is properly calibrated.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean, Razor.

I'm not sure what to do with colours (Zaibatsu). I guess it's starting to become personal taste. Perhaps it's an idea to make a separate file where people can set there own colours. However I'm not that good at coding, how do I let it read the colour codes into char array? (.xml ??).

Razor · **Posted:** Fri Feb 19, 2010 5:55 pm

i mean if you chose any color and it text area you will put just ":" and then click to create image the editor will display bug info

Cuban-Pete · **Joined:** Fri Jan 29, 2010 3:03 pm **Posts:** 796

Here it just works. I get an image with ":"

There is still one bug and that is, if you end your text line with [ or [5 it will give error. I got idea how to fix it, but the program users should just pay attention.

I do have some error checking, if you enter only a color tag, like [4] it will tell "Could not color the emptiness, please enter a text line" - it's a little joke of me. Or when you enter nothing and press generate it will say "Could not read your mind, please enter a text line" :lol:

If you use something else, like a letter a,b,c,d etc. Does it than work?

edit: Perhaps it's something with polish (special) characters numbering...
