I have no problem using font factory, I have 34 stage thumbnails letters "A to Z" and numbers "1 to 8". The problem now is it's been a while so I don't remember what/where exactly in the stages I should change to correspond to the font letters and numbers, so I get results like this:


The 2nd image turned out well, but then again I'm not sure why...

Fonts only take 1 palette. Even in 1.0 this is the case. You change the displayname of the stage to match the letter it's picture applies to.

They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

Not exactly sure if that made a difference, some are all over the place and some seem centered on the screen. Was I supposed to have made the thumbnails right next to each other in the font image pcx?

EDIT: another issues I think is causeing tihs is the original screenpack I am editing:

"stage 1: The pit1" etc is the format for all the stages, is that why I sometimes see 2 thumbnails? because of how it's reading that? How can I fix it? aka not make mugen display "stage 1:"

You're not displaying a Name. You're displaying a LETTER. Stage 1: The Pit should actually be called A for example.

That's what I did, the problem now is through positioning in the system.def only 13 out of the 34 stages line up in the center, the rest are off to the right and one to the left.  :???:

is there a way to get mugen to not display the "stage X:" text?

I wish there was, but other than modding the engine, it won't go away.  I ended up have to set the letters -R-A-N-D-O-M-a-n-d-o-m and S-t-a-g-e and 1 through 0 to blanks just so it wouldn't show anything.  Unfortunately, there's no way (that I know of) to remove that text.

Change it's position on screen. Make it appear below the screen or way to left/right (using coordinates such as 25555,33322, will place it waaaay off-screen).

Wouldn't that move the stage thumbnails way off, also?  The stage thumbnail is made using the font used to project the "stage x".
