Hello guys,
i`m using bmp font plugin from Program Anouncment plugins thread.
It have 2 commands only and it`s very useful for showing text, but not that good when comes to typing.Everytime there is keypress that isn`t responding to writable button like "Tab" or "Enter" it returns error that the image doesent exist.

This is my code.If someone can think about workaround solution.


I`m using deffault font provided with the plugin.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

It probably splits the font image up and assigns each character an image number based on its ASCII value. Therefore, any character that isn't accounted for would cause the error.

Try filtering out any non-supported characters first (not tested):

It works now but moreo important i want to know how we know ASCII character range is exactly 32 to 126 for writable characters?
I suppose there is some table?

Yes there is.

http://www.asciitable.com/

But you can always use the ASC() function something like this.

@Luskos:

You mentioned this bmp font plugin in the program announcements thread, but when I click the link, I get error 403. Did it work for you? And when did you download it? Because the thread is a couple of years old...

Cheers

Slayer rules!!! Yeaaah, man!
