About the renaming issue. I’m not concerned with the engine not doing it automatically so much as I am concerned about it completely flipping out without notice. It took me a bit of trial and error to understand the issue. It also happens when you have any sort of space in any name, which is understandable, but still strange - and it also makes the project “corrupt” unless you manually edit the data

I think a simple check for spaces (abd removing them if nessasary) and a notification about changing sprite names is a good first step. “Breaking” a project because you dared having a space or changing a name is unintuitive as hell.

Also - will you provide a default font sheet the same way you provided a default numbers sheet? I don’t know how to change the game’s font - there is no default template to work off.

Well, there is a warning on whitespaces in the manual. I'll think of something, don't worry.

And there is no font sheet. All you have to do is import a proper TTF font. It's in the "System Resources Importer" menu.

I swear I read the entire thing and couldn’t find it. Maybe I’m just blind :)

Thanks for that heads up about a TTF file - I thought it required a sprite sheet the same way the numbers are. In general (I feel like I’m asking a lot in one thread lol) I would also suggest clarifying the file type the engine expects from certain fields. I didn’t know that little tidbit for instance.

(Edit: welp I tried importing a TTF file and the engine crashed. It did create the proper files in the Fonts folder though. Error log)

The editor applies a filter. It will never let you choose a file it can't use. As for the error - are you sure you've been trying to import _font_ and not an image?

UPD: Nevermind. I checked it, there is a bug. I fixed it, so it will be fixed in the next version. You can actually just add files manually.

Yeah I did import a .ttf file as you instructed.

Anyways, I’m aware of the fact you can manually copy-paste files into the project hierarchy, I just need to know how the engine expects me to call them first - which is what I did after importing dummy fonts and sprites and then changing them accordingly.
