How do I load new fonts?

[KaiserSosay]

Ok I got my saber back up and running. but I cant load a new font. I try to use the Obsidian launcher to create the font, but when I go to load it, it tells me the saber isnt connected. So I dosconnect it, and reconnecte it. and it does the same thing?

Obsidian launcher is only for V3 or V4 sound boards.
The diamond launcher is for the diamond board only.
You need to use the diamond part of the editing program.

If you are trying to load a file from the font selection page of the editor, it has to be a file that ends with a .pfnt extension.  That file type is sound and colors for diamond sabers only.

If you are trying to load sound files,  such as .wav or .lsu,  you need to select the font slot you want those sounds in. Then open boot effect and add the sound manual.  Then open the on effect and manually add the sound file. For just sound files, you have to load them yourself to the specific font and effect where you want that sound to play.
 I feel like I explained that horribly.  I hope you were able to follow what I mean!
The process is not as complicated as I make it sound.

As far as memory space goes, it let's me load anything. Regardless of available space. It just won't let me write to the board.  But I can load it. The available space is represented by a line that fills in green. If it loads something to large to write to board, that line turns red.
 How is it telling you there is not enough memory?

I have been able to load the sounds to the actions to create the font file. but when I try to write the file to an empty space / slot on the board, thats when it tells me there isnt enough memory. thats what I dont understand. it says there isnt enough memory but there is almost 200MB free? I will have to try again ans see if I can find the green bar or whatever you are talking about. but I am able to create what I think is a sound font pack that has all the sounds for the different actions. just cant write it to a spare slot on the board. it is really frustrating....lol

THANK YOU, KaiserSosay, for the excellent video!  Point incoming.

I think this video should be linked in a sticky thread somewhere in the Diamond Database that has tips and tricks.  There IS a thread like that, right?

ok I tried to write the font but that is where it says there isnt enough memory. Im going to try to cheat it like you did by copying an existing font and changing the sounds on it. I'll let you know what happens. Thanks
