Text Mesh Pro - The Ultimate Text Solution for Unity - Powerful & Flexible - Advanced Text Rendering

Hello, I dont know how to send a PM, I dont see private message anywhere. i click on your name but it dont say send message or anything like that.

Can you let me know how to do that?

Thanks

 

@Stephan_B First off, I would like to say a quick thanks for making such an awesome extension for Unity! Seriously, TMP is great.

However, I was just recently working on a dialogue system using TMP's page wrapping feature and I realized I needed to know the number of characters visible in the current page and the number of characters previously to set maxVisibleCharacters accordingly for that page (I'm essentially extending the functionality of the TeleType example to be used across multiple pages for long dialogues). It seems that textInfo.characterCount returns the total number of characters and that maxVisibleCharacters takes into account previous pages' characters as well.

Is there a way to do this already and I'm just oblivious?

Thanks,
GuitarBro


EDIT: Scratch that, I'm just oblivious. The answer was textInfo.pageInfo[].lastCharacterIndex all along!

 

Hi,
We are implementing chatting in our project. With TMP's inline sprites we have got the extra feature of showing emoticons. We are using a content size fitter and horizontal layout group to get the UI image containing TMP resize with text. Thought the problem we are facing is that with emoticons the content size fitter doesn't work anymore.
Is there any workaround? Thanks in advance

Thanks

 

How can I get more emojicons with TextMesh Pro? it only comes with a few.

Thanks!

 

Is it possible to add an outline to a bitmap font in the atlas or after with settings? It's weird that it doesn't seem to be supported, for all the pixelart games out there.

 

I don't care if they're baked in the font texture though, but it seems I'm not able to do that since they're being used as masks?

 

Hello,
Is it possible to mask/crop a 3D TextMeshPro object ?
Unfortunately, in this case I can't use UI Masking.
Thanks a lot !

edit: I figured how to do it with the ClipRect property, but is this the only way? Seems a bit overkill to have one material per text masked. (I have several texts with the same font that need to be masked simultaneously but differently)

 

I know its asking too much, but Is animated emoji possible with TextMesh Pro?

Maybe you guys should come out with a paid asset package that has way more enojicons plus animation, i would buy that 100%

 

I'm testing textmesh pro free version in unity 5.6.1. I found the artifacts like uploaded files.
Can I know why this happens and how this can be solved?

 

when the setting under FallBack Font Assets 'match material presets' is enabled and I'm using a bitmap font it's starts erroring about materials not being on the shader like 'OutlineWidth' even though those aren't even part of the bitmap shader at all..

 

Is it possible to gain the source or a quick fix for this? We're pushing against release soon and this would save a whole lot of font hassle. Otherwise I need to create fallback fonts for every material setting type instead of just having the presets setup per font.

EDIT: still happy to pay to access source if that is possible?

 

PM'd ya.

To be specific about the problem:

I'm using the latest unity 5.6.1p1 en latest textmesh pro (1.0.55.0b9), I've setup different font assets because localisation (one for english, one for japanese). I've setup the japanese font as backup for the english one. By default I'm just using a mobile bitmap shader, and another material preset with a custom bitmap shader for shadows.

What I want to achieve is setup exact the same presets for my main and japanese font (material preset wise) and have the english with the shadow material preset selected fallback to the japanese with the shadow material preset. It can be as simple as it pointing to the same material preset index or something. If this is not possible I have to duplicate all the fonts and assign their material there, and then setup all those fallbacks one on one. Which is a hell whenever I need to change the font atlas. If that makes sense.

Thanks

 

Hi, i'm having the same problem. I'm using Unity 5.5.3 and when i updated TMPro I started getting the TypeLoadException error.
I tried logging out, closing and logging in, but the problem persists.. Could yo send me the 5.5 package, please?

 

After updating to 1.0.55.0b8, I can't add any scripting define symbols to the project. Anything I add after "TMP_PRESENT" automatically gets removed. This also is happening in the latest release, b9.

This is particularly bad in my case, as I need certain define symbols in order for my project to compile.

 

Thank you! That did the trick.

 

Is it possible in TextMesh Pro to use the Color Gradient option to somehow put the gradient across an entire text block, as opposed to having it applied to each letter individually?

 

Perfect! That worked. Thank you so much!!!

 

Hi, can I place TextMesh pro surface shader in a canvas windows? or I should place it directly in front of camera?

 

Thanks, I don't need any lights on my text I just want it to get effect by camera image effects, should I still use surface shader?

Also is there any fade in/out effects for TextMesh pro?

 

Hi
What steps do I need to do to update the version of TextMeshPro 1.0.54> TextMeshPro 1.0.55?

I tried to remove completely the old version and install the new one, but it leads to the loss of components.

Is there a way to avoid this?
Thank you

You said earlier that Textmesh Pro can do animated emojicons, here is what you wrote....


"Yes. TextMesh Pro does provide the ability to use animated sprites. Use the <sprite="Sprite Asset Name" anim="first frame, last frame, frame rate">."


Above you just gave a generic way of how to do it, but can you give a specific example how to do it using an actual emojicon that is included with TextMesh pro? Something that i can just copy from here and paste into TextMesh pro and see it animate an emojicon that is included with TextMesh Pro?

Thanks

 

@xcube

try steps :
(1) Open Unity.
(2) Log out of your Unity ID account.
(3) Delete the "TextMesh Pro" folder.
(4) Close Unity.
(5) Delete TextMesh Pro Package download in Users\AppData\Roaming\Unity
(6) Open Unity again
(7) Log in to your Unity ID account.
(8) Import TextMesh Pro from the Asset Store.

 

I tried to do everything exactly step by step. The result was exactly the same (

Do I understand correctly that I now have only two options:
1.to stay with the old version of TextMesh Pro 1.0.54
2.To re-configure all the texts in my project manually.

If there are any other options tell me, I would be very grateful.

 

I had the same problem.
I did it the @xcube 's way.
(thx to xcube )
Unfortunately, all of the TextMeshPro components in scene need to be re-configured.

 

Hello. I have a problem. I set text value to text mesh pro when text mesh pro recttransform sizedelta has not yet been calculated, text value is invisible. This situation arises for example when text mesh pro was unactive, it's anchor preset
. I make it active and set text value to it (In this example text mesh pro is inside horizontal layout). In this moment text mesh pro size is unknown

So text mesh will not display text value. Help, please.

 

Thank you! It works

 

Hi
I'm using TextMeshPro in my project and I'm trying to do this:

Someone can help me?

It's only open the Test scene and play to see the error.

 

@Stephan_B did you have any time to look at my problem, haven't heard back. Pm'd you my mail adress etc.

 

I'm running into the following exception while trying to use the VertexJitter example on a TMPro_Text object that's disabled on Start (but enabled well before this call is made). Please ignore the line number, as I've modified VertexJitter:

Thanks to the debugger I've found a clue as to the cause. It looks like CopyMeshInfoVertexData() is throwing the null reference exception due to an issue with m_CachedMeshInfo. m_CachedMeshInfo is the same length (1) as meshInfo, but all the fields in its first TMP_MeshInfo object are null. As a result the if (flag) block gets skipped, which means the cached info isn't updated, and the method fails when it attempts to operate on a bunch of null data. I don't have the source code version of TextMesh Pro available at work, so that's about as far as I can conveniently trace it. Please let me know if you need any additional info in order to hunt this issue down.

Thanks!
