MZ beginner questions

[Zakarijah]

Can I do anything similar to "region restrictions" right out of the gate, or with the available Visustella plugins?

if not,

Is there a reason my character walks over *some* impassable tiles and not others?
--->it's a tree trunk on the second layer, right above the ground...

How do I change the font?
--->I tried copy/pasting the exact file name in the systems tab but... nothing and it crashes...

My last thing is somewhat of a gripe.

Yanfly's plugin were extremely user-friendly and really let you dive in without any JS knowledge, and honestly, I'm not feeling so confident with these ones. I find myself just sitting here staring at the all the jargon, thinking it'll make sense but NOPE, I'm just not getting it.

To change the font, add your font into the folder and then change the name in the System 2 tab.

As for walking on impassable tiles: do you have a passable tile in one of the layers above it?

Omg I feel like such a bisch -_- I opened it but didn’t really skim it, thinking it wouldn’t have much to offer. lol.

why do I always do this!?

I tried to change the name of the font in the system tab but it didn’t work. It just says it can’t find the font when I boot the game.

Did you first put the font file in the fonts folder as slimmmeiske recommended? Otherwise the game has no font to find.

edit:

Spoiler: example font

edit edit: also note that not all fonts can be redistributed in your game, you should check the font TOU.

I am having trouble understanding your questions. Do you refer to Main Front Filename, Number of Front Filename, or Fallback Front?

 

[Zakarijah]

I tried to change it for the Main/Number font after I put the corresponding font in the font folder of my project.

I added an example in my post above. You can check that and see if it helps.

If it’s a font that worked fine in MV, it should work, correct?
its in the correct format and folder but it just says it can’t find it.

@Rubescen and @slimmmeiske2, I am K.O. on this one. What is woff extension file? Did it say web front like CSS?

However, I still being useful.

yeah, sorry my second edit was off-topic regarding terms of use. (@Kupotepo I also use google fonts -- the example I gave is one. They are fine to use as long as the terms of use allow for redistribute as I understand the TOU).

@Zakarijah I'd recommend copy/pasting the file name from the property tab of the font into the system 2 entry, just to make sure everything is the same. If that doesn't work can you show a screenshot of your fonts folder and system2 tab?

I'm having the same trouble w/ a Google Font. I tried putting the font in both the general MZ font folder and the font folder specific to my Project.

Make sure you have the file extension included. In your case it should be:

Montserrat-Medium.ttf

this was actually my problem as well! But it’s working now. Thanks so much!!

 

[tumsterfest]

I'd tried adding and removing the file extension, but did it before I started monkeying with putting the font file in the specific Project folder. Once I finally put both strategies together, it finally worked haha ... Thanks!
