%d or %s... For custom font?

Hello PSXDEV :>
So... It is possible to create %d, %s, /n, etc, for custom fonts? Like printf or fntprint?
Code: Select all
GsSPRITE Font_Tahoma;
extern unsigned char SYS_FONT_TAHOMA[];
extern int DrawFontTahoma(char *string, int X, int Y, int R, int G, int B, int DIST, int SCALE, ...);
extern int DrawFontTahoma(char *string, int X, int Y, int R, int G, int B, int DIST, int SCALE, ...)
{
GsIMAGE FontInfo;
int fntval=0;
GsGetTimInfo((u_long *)SYS_FONT_TAHOMA+1,&FontInfo);
// Setting Font proprieties
Font_Tahoma.tpage=14; //Font tpage
Font_Tahoma.attribute=((FontInfo.pmode&0x3f)<<24); // pattern bit mode: 15bitdirect
Font_Tahoma.cx=FontInfo.cx;
Font_Tahoma.cy=FontInfo.cy;
// Text cell size
Font_Tahoma.w=16;
Font_Tahoma.h=16;
Font_Tahoma.x = X; // COORDINATE X
Font_Tahoma.y = Y; // COORDINATE Y
Font_Tahoma.r = R; // Font RED colors
Font_Tahoma.g = G; // Font GREEN colors
Font_Tahoma.b = B; // Font BLUE colors
Font_Tahoma.scalex=Font_Tahoma.scaley=SCALE;
while(*string){
if(*string>='A' && (*string)<='Z')
fntval=(*string)-'A';
else if(*string>='1' && (*string)<='9')
fntval=26+(*string)-'1';

// Restricted Symbols

}
else {

continue;
}
Font_Tahoma.u=(fntval%16)*16;

Font_Tahoma.x+=16+(DIST);
}
}

Hi, NITROYUASH.
I'm very new to the PS1 Homebrew, but having been using the C language for over the past year. I'm certain that even if I'm not able to fully help, I will at least be able to lead you in the right direction. Perhaps we will both be able to learn more from this.
From my experience (I mean in general), you could use images, sprites, or even textures for your font. If you already know how to set up geometry in the PS1, you could draw out your text through primitives, set the depth to draw over everything else, and then use a "switch" statement to check which letter or other character is next in your array of strings (Does "while" work for what you're doing so far)? I noticed you're using that to check the characters.
I know for sure that you can use %d or %s to draw out some text. However, keep in mind that the %d is used for numbers while %s is used for an array of characters. Since the majority of your game will use strings, you could make a function that converts your number to a string, and only have to use %s throughout the game.
If you use "sprintf" in someway, you should be able to print out the contents of a number properly. I still have much to learn myself, but I hope this information helps you. You already have a good chunk of code... I'm sure you will get to where you want to be eventually.
Good luck.
Edit: You may want to look at this:

Thanks for the answer!
I found the another way to translate our stuff in custom fonts.
We also can use strcat() for this c:

Thank you - I'm glad you found an answer to your problem.
May I ask how you did that? I'm still learning, so I like looking at other code to learn from.

Code: Select all
char STRING[64];
char FNTCHR[2];
int test() {
// Load our font from PS-EXE :)
LoadTIM((u_long*)SYS_FONT_TAHOMA);
while (1) {
// Font test
// [*STRING, X, Y, R, G, B, DISTANCE BETWEEN LETTERS, SCALE]
DrawFontTahoma(testfont3, 50, 190, 128, 128, 128, -4, ONE);
DrawFontTahoma("1234\n1234", 50, 190, 128, 128, 128, -4, ONE);
// More font stuff!
STRING[0] = 0;
strcat(STRING, "Timer"); strcat(STRING, "test:");
FNTCHR[0] = '0'+FSEC[1]; strcat(STRING, FNTCHR);
FNTCHR[0] = '0'+FSEC[0]; strcat(STRING, FNTCHR);
DrawFontTahoma(STRING, 50, 190, 128, 128, 128, -4, ONE);
}
}
I am not good in c, but i hope this example will help someone.

Actually, this may be useful enough for me (And hopefully others). Is the "SYS_FONT_TAHOMA" already on the PS1 by default? Or is that something you need to add to it? Anyways, thank you for sharing.
Edit: I just realized in the first snippet of code you have you show how to get the "SYS_FONT_TAHOMA".

SYS_FONT_TAHOMA (Load from System (PS-EXE) Font Tahoma) - it's "my" custom font. I just ported Tahoma font into my code and loading this texture from PS-EXE.
Code: Select all
opt C+
section datasection
; ------------------( GFX DATA )-------------------
CNOP 0,4
global SYS_FONT_TAHOMA
SYS_FONT_TAHOMA:
incbin "materials/TAHOMA_FONT_EXTENDED.TIM"
END

Oh. That's cool. Thanks for the snippet of code. Now, it will be easier for me to do this too.

For my video game "Airport" I am also using custom fonts along with a simple library I built. Check it out here:
