Does anyone know where can I find a PHP and/or Javascript script that when you run the script, it converts the text you entered into an image, and uses individual image letters to build the word? Like when I enter in my HTML [img src="this and that"] it displays the text I typed in the SRC.

I'm pretty sure these very boards use something like that for the level and experience numbers on the left (In the default layout).

To that end, try PMing Acmlm about it and see what he has to say.

For that, I just edited numgfx.php in AcmlmBoard 1.8a.

Yes, something like that. Can you post the code? Thanks in advance.

I'd rather not. It took a while to make this whole thing. Vystrix Nexoth helped quite a bit too. I dunno if he wants to release the source, but I'm apprehensive.

Find someone who has acmlmboard1.8 (or whatever) and edit that a bit. It's really quite simple.

I'm going Xkeeper's way... just let people get the darn AcmlmBoard source!

edit by weasel: I'm not sure if Acmlm wants that url posted. If it's ok, I'll put it back up.

edit again: Yeah, I'll put that link back now...

Gah, Wheezel, it's not a bad link, just let the guy post it, sheesh... he doesn't care, 1.8a is old and lame now :p

But you can also go my way, again, and make your own like Wheez did [although I believe I did mine before his, even though his does lowercase [but my LC font looked like shit]





Ask me and mabye I'll give you the source. Mabye.

Yes, you did yours way before mine, and it was from you that i got the idea. And I'd like the see the source of yours, X, see how you did line breaks, which I failed to do in mine...

I'll give you mine if you give me yours




As for the link... I guess I can put it back.... No one better complain

You still haven't actually offerred any wholesome help, guys! Or have you? Anyway, with PHP it can be done pretty easily. This guy made a font previewer that uses a bitmap font and text input to output an image:

Well, the only way to do what you're asking is using some kind of server side coding, such as PHP, JSP, ASP, etc....

Weasel and XKeeper used PHP to do it. While I used ASP.NET

If you want, I put up the source to mine on my site a while back and it's still available here
The key difference you'll find in mine is that it has a array that is populated at the begining to keep track of character coordinates, since I am using a variable width font, not all the characters are the same size. Also I have code to dynamically scale the size of the image's height, width, and line wrapping. So there is a bit more code there than most. It should be pretty simple though.

Now all I need to get is linebreaks and symbols, and I'll be set. YAY!

How would I detect a linebreak?

Bloody good question

Xkeeper's script uses the ~ tilda to detect it. That's fine and all, but I don't know how I would make the image suddenly larger to put that in.

Of course, I didn't spend time bothering to figure it out anyway XD

It's not hard to make the base image larger. Hell, I did it, so anyone should be able to. XD

Of course, if we could get Acmlm's ass in here, he could tell us, since he has a nifty one. It has all kinds of things in it, and the letters/numbers/etc. are on multiple lines, too. Damn Canadians.

I'm figureing I'll have to do something similar to Xkeeper, and use a special symbol to denote line-breaks. Of course, I still have the problem of making it generate an image with the proper height, alignment, text,

On second thought, I think I'll just stick to using multiple <img src> tags... Probably gonna be easier on me.

Use the traditional backslash (UNIX-style, \) to make special characters.

For example:
\n = New line
\t = Tab
\\ = Backslash \

OK, that's simple enough.

But how do I tell it to make this:

into this:

?

And I REALLY need to fix the "a" in that font. Probably the e too...
