There's a limit to HudMessage lengths??

I know this question is stupid and probably easy as hell to figure out, but I've found the Help file completely unhelpful, the same goes with Googling, and I've found trying to figure out ImageTool so far a huge pain in the ass. Anyway... how do I save a graphic as a font? I tried looking through the Save As extensions and I don't think I found anything.

Take a look at Randy's example Monalisa

That didn't seem to work...

The first thing I did was try making a file called blackfont.script and putting it in the ImageTool folder, and then opening ImageTool and running the script

"imagetool script blackfont.script"

and it said

Code: Select all

error: 'macro' or 'procedure' expected on line 1
<<imagetool script blackfont.scriptmp">>

Then, I tried just running the script

Code: Select all

load "BLACK.PNG"
font "BLFONT.lmp" 0 0 'A'

which gets the same error. So I made a new script, and a window popped up labeled "macro". So I try it this way:

Code: Select all

macro 'blackfont';
    { }
begin
    load "BLACK.PNG";
    font "BLFONT.lmp" 0 0 'A';
end;

and then it gives me the error

Code: Select all

undeclared identifier: load on line 4
<<    load "BLACK.PNG";>>

And last I tried method two with the "imagetool script blackfont.script". It didn't work.

So am I doing something wrong? I have BLACK.PNG and blackfont.script in the main ImageTool folder.

How the heck are you trying to run imagetool? Because those errors are from something else.

They're from ImageTool alright...

but I found a different way to do it anyway. I just simply did what TDA said before, I just used a texture. For some reason it works this time.

No, they're not. I should know since I wrote it, and it doesn't have error messages like that.

???

Are we speaking of the same ImageTool?! Because I just ran a Google search for ImageTool and found this page:

http://ddsdx.uthscsa.edu/dig/itdesc.html

Which I'm guessing now is not the ImageTool I'm supposed to be using, right?

No, you are speaking about http://www.zdoom.org/files/utils/imagetool.zip

D'oh! THAT's what I'm doing wrong.
