Pixeled Font Script (No Anti-Aliasing)

  1. Hello. Here is my script request for today.

    I want a script that cancels out the default anti-aliasing on fonts. If you don't know what I mean, let me show you:

    Would you rather have this:

    Or:

    Why do I want a script that can do this? To make games look retro! Retro is cool!

    I would also this script to change the window opacity to 255, (In English: Make the window not see-through anymore.)

    And one more thing: This needs to be compatible with Yanfly's script. (Well... I guess it doesn't NEED to be, but it would be nice.)

    Hope this request isn't too hard.
  2. You may want to search for a different font. I don't know if a script will do that.

    As for opacity. http://pastebin.com/hYiShYyV

    Hope that helps.
  3. Changing font will not help to solve this. The Bitmap#draw_text always anti-alias the text.

    You can use a script that use Sprites for text instead of the Bitmap#draw_text like my SFonts.
  4. Wow!

    Thanks for the scripts guys!

    @Victor: This is a pretty awesome script, but do you know of any sort of SFont generator to make my life easier?
  5. There's a wide variety of bitmap fonts available on various places around the internet. Most of them are pretty gimmicky, but look around. You might be surprised.

    Nope, the graphic is up to you.
  7. Yes, the graphic is up to me, but I'm not sure how to make the graphic work. I tried my hand by typing the same letters as the example you provided, and all I got was a mess.

    Is there some sort of application that makes these things work?
  8. There's no automated way of doing that.

    It's not hard, all you need to have in mind is the dots on the upper parts of the graphic, they're the "divisors".

    Do you see the pink lines above the font? everythinh aligned with it will be skiped. The dot on the upper left edge is VERY important. (the color don't matter, as long it's the same color for all lines)

    That is how the script "slices" the fonts:

    If you're not feeling "safe" in using only one line you can do something like this, since the whole column is skiped, doesn't matter what it contains, so you can have a better visualization of the division.

    If you still can't get it work, post the graphic you made, and the settings on the script so i can see what is wrong.
  9. Here's my image.

    I outlined it in blue so you could see it better. I can't figure out what's wrong.

    The script is unchanged.

    EDIT: Ah, found out what was wrong. I just forgot the @ symbol. Thanks so much for your help! I think we can call this one solved!
