it's late but text isn't showing up

[obliviot]

I am using the font.fnt asset which is used on some of the tutorials. My text just isnt showing up on screen

game.addAsset('font.fnt');

game.createScene('Main', {
    backgroundColor: '#000000',
    word_score: 0,
    total_score: 0,
    picked_word: '',

    init: function() {
        this.bg = new game.TilingSprite('play-bg.png');
        this.bg.addTo(this.stage);
        
        this.board = new game.Board(game.width / 2, game.height / 2 - 50);
        this.board.container.addTo(this.stage);
        
        var text = new game.Text('Hello Panda');
        text.addTo(this.stage);
        
    }
});

 

I have tried removing the tiling sprite and bard class from the init but still no joy. Anything i should be looking for?

Can't see anything wrong with the code.

Do you have also the font.png file in your media folder?

[obliviot]

Hi, I have a similar issue:

game.addAsset('font.fnt');

game.createScene('Main', {
    backgroundColor: '#00CCFF',
    init: function() {
            var info = new game.Text('Informations');
            info.addTo(this.stage);
            
            var text = new game.SystemText('System text...');
            text.addTo(this.stage);
        }
});

I tried with different types of *.fnt (xml, txt formats), same result. Text not rendering. I attached media folder & main screen capture.

Thanks for help,

Claudiu.

I replaced the font with ones used in the demos[endlessrunner] and it works...

@Claudiu Macovei

What software did you use to generate your font files?

[makowey]

@enpu

I tried with this http://kvazars.com/littera/ & https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/wiki/Hiero.

Littera XML format was not detected correctly, but it should be now fixed. You can try it by updating your project's engine to latest dev version.

[makowey]

@enpu I did it -> version 2.7.0.

I'm getting:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'replace' of undefined
    at Class.parseFont (loader.js:342)
    at Class.<anonymous> (core.js:932)
    at XMLHttpRequest.<anonymous> (core.js:932)

 font[name][cont[0]] = cont[1].replace(/['"]+/g, '');

Thanks

2.7.0 is latest master version. Please try to update to latest dev version 2.7.1dev.

Open Settings and look for "Update to dev version" at the bottom. Check it and try again.

@enpu

Yes, all good on 2.7.1dev branch, thanks. ?

I have another issue, editor related. I ran the game in detached window mode, with a fullscreen option in the game. The screen had been maximized by calling of game.system.fullscreen(), but now I cannot resize it back as is in attached mode. Same for the editor window. Maybe I missing something. Reinstalled on same PC, same issue. Installed on new PC - okay. Some caches save this fullscreen preferences.

no min max button for window (cannot disable the fullscreen mode)

@Claudiu Macovei

Hmm i'm not sure if i understand the issue correctly. So you have detached game window, then you enter fullscreen mode with game.system.fullscreen(); but then can't exit the fullscreen mode back to normal?

[makowey]

@enpu

Yes. It looks like the maximize/minimize buttons form disappeared. The gray bar from the last capture is from panda editor. Should contains the 3 buttons (min/max/exit). That disappeared when I called the game.system.fullscreen(). If the live form is detached will be always on fullscreen mode, if the live panel is reattached back this is shown in his place, but the whole editor is in a full screen mode. My supposition is that the editor should contains some option to exit from fullscreen, like Window -> Minimize/Zoom. My OS taskbar is hidden only when Panda editor is selected/on view.

valid windows - this is on another machine

@Claudiu Macovei

This seems to be only Windows issue, since on Mac i can see button where i can exit fullscreen mode.

I have now added "Exit Fullscreen" to the window menu that works also by pressing ESC. This will be on next Panda 2 release.
