Help adding fonts

Hello! I’m new to adding new fonts to my xeno saber. i have downloaded a couple of your stuff and put them on my saber the sounds are awesome but for some reason it wont show the custom saber turning on animation just goes straight to the saber no fancy opening i don’t think its your fault and i probably went wrong at some point but if i can have some help that would be great!

hi, I assume your referring to the bladestyle preon? when adding the converted fonts to a xeno only the sound file names are changed so that they can be read by the board, the proffie bladestyle and config files do not translate over to the xeno these need to be added manually via the xeno sd card setting folder and config.ini to adjust preons, blade out and blade in times, colours ect, xeno has some basic blade effects built in that are assigned and adjusted via the config.ini

#DEFAULT FONT EFFECT SETTINGS#EACH SECTION EXPLAINED BELOW BASED ON THIS EXAMPLE FORMAT: FONT1=(0,0,0),A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H#FONT1 IS THE FONT FOLDER NUMBER#(0,0,0) IS THE DEFAULT BLADE COLOR OF EACH FONT,COLOR ORDER DATA (RED,GREEN,BLUE),WITH A RANGE OF 0-255 EACH. (0,0,0) IS NO LIGHT, (255,255,255) IS WHITE LIGHT, (255,0,0) IS RED LIGHT, ETC.#‘A’ IS DEFAULT HUM LIGHT EFFECT OF EACH FONT. REPLACE ‘A’ WITH ONE OF THE FOLLOWING: (FIRE BLADE=0,STEADY BLADE=1,UNSTABLE BLADE=2,RAINBOW BLADE=3,CANDY BLADE=4,CRACK BLADE=5,PULSE BLADE=6, FLASHING BLADE=7)#‘B’ IS DEFAULT BLASTER LIGHT EFFECT OF EACH FONT. REPLACE ‘B’ WITH ONE OF THE FOLLOWING: (LIGHT EFFECT1=0,LIGHT EFFECT2=1,LIGHT EFFECT3=2)#‘C’ IS DEFAULT FORCE LIGHT EFFECT OF EACH FONT REPLACE ‘C’ WITH ONE OF THE FOLLOWING: (LIGHT EFFECT1=0,LIGHT EFFECT2=1)#‘D’ IS DEFAULT LOCK UP LIGHT EFFECT OF EACH FONT. REPLACE ‘D’ WITH ONE OF THE FOLLOWING: (LIGHT EFFECT1=0)#‘E’ IS DEFAULT FLASH ON CLASH LIGHT EFFECT OF EACH FONT. REPLACE ‘E’ WITH ONE OF THE FOLLOWING: (LIGHT EFFECT1=0,LIGHT EFFECT2=1,LIGHT EFFECT3=2)#‘F’ IS DEFAULT STYLE OF EACH FONT. REPLACE ‘F’ WITH ONE OF THE FOLLOWING: (STANDARD BLADE=0,VELOCITY BLADE=1,TORCH BLADE=2,BLASTER MODE=3, GHOST MODE=4, SPECIAL PREON=5/6/7/8/9/10/11)#‘G’ IS ON SPEED OF EACH FONT. 200 IS A BASIC DEFAULT, HIGHER NUMBERS ARE SLOWER ON SPEED#‘H’ IS OFF SPEED OF EACH FONT. 500 IS A BASIC DEFAULT, HIGHER NUMBERS ARE SLOWER OFF SPEED

font1=(0,0,255),1,0,0,0,0,0,200,650

you need to play around with these values to get your desired results, im not very well versed on xeno boards so this is my basic understanding of how it works,

you wont get the same results as the bladestyle shown in the font preview video unless you are running it on a proffie board

wow umm i like don’t understand any thing you said :sweat_smile:.sorry about that. but i hope i will figure this out. but if you have a video explaining what to do that would be great! (this might be helpful i have the Vega xeno 3 blade from imperil workshop.) thanks for the response tho

I’ve found this video it may help out

Like I said you won’t get the same blade effects that are supplied with the fonts, for that you should consider upgrading to proffie

Moved this to a new thread, let me know if you need more help.
