PS3 Create Pixel Art using a custom imagefont.bin and a new tool (XMBML, SFO, RCO, Notifications)

[DeViL303]

@DeViL303 I wonder if using imagefon we could fix this PS3 screen:

To make it look like this PC screen:

They correspond to the following unicode characters:
U+231A: https://www.codetable.net/decimal/8986
U+26A1: https://www.codetable.net/decimal/9889

Is it possible?

It might be, I can try see if we can add chars in other ranges. What are the actual HEX codes in HEX. I don't understand this

Hex Code:	⌚

If adding them where they should be does not work I could add them in the range that works with different HEX codes, not sure if that would suit.

For universal solution it might be better to have a normal png somewhere.

EDIT: Ok, I see now it's E28C9A and E29AA1. I will see what I can do.

True, but the /cpursx.ps3 page is generated by wMM. It would require to add another dependency file that must be installed separately and include the full path of the external PNG in the IMG tag. Or embed the PNG encoded as BASE64 using data:image/png;base64.

A third solution would be to use an external CSS containing the resources that also needs to be installed.

All these options require more resources than just inserting these 8 bytes: ⌚

These unicode characters are standard. So why not simply support them. At least the useful ones.

Just tried adding them, no change.

From this and previous testing it seems we are quite limited in imagefont.bin, It does not even allow us to use the full private area.

It would be great if we knew the plugin responsible andcould add more ranges.

I've attached the imagefont.bin with U+231A and U+26A1 added, I don't think it's much use though.

It's a shame. Anyway, thanks for take a look.

I can add the 2 icons is the useable range if that is any good. You could have it so it works on the console and not PC.. Not sure which is preferable.

It would require you to install or remap custom imagefont.bin though so...

 

[DeViL303]

Actually, there is already a clock. watch and hourglass included in the OFW imagefont.bin if that is any good

U+F59B =

U+F59C =

U+F59D =

Maybe you could use one of these instead of the lightning strike?

U+F6AE =

U+F6AD =

Upgraded versions in my custom imagefont.bin

Thanks for the suggested icons. Indeed I liked them, but I couldn't get them show on the PC/PS3 browser.

I had to use images like you originally suggested.

Great stuff, this makes using imagefont.bin characters so much easier. It was complicated before, you needed to add placeholder characters in the xml/SFO, then overwrite those with a hex editor etc, PITA. Now its just click and paste.

Extract the rar, run imagefont_Preview.exe
You must have installed MSVBVM50.dll

If not show, try to extract to a path without spaces and with read/write user privileges
