Hello folks,

 

wonderfull work !, already made 3 plugin for pixelart automations, I love codeLab

is there a way to change canvas Size by code with CodeLab ?, I didn't find informations about that on boltbait website

 

cheers !

There's no way for a plugin to change the canvas size; CodeLab or otherwise.

ok :)

thank you, anyway

 

I don't know if it could interest someone, but I made this :

image you have a spritesheet with Cells 32px by 32px with multiple layers ... ... and you want to draw a weapon but you didn't let enough room to draw it , so you must extend the cells size, it's a huge work to do with mouse/selection/displace things, but with this code it's really easy :

 

example:

spritesheet (canvas size 160*160, with 5*5 cells of 32*32 px)

you want now 40*40px

 

first you change canvas size as it cannot be done by code from 160*160 to 200*200 px (5 * 40 px )

so you set this (see picture attached)

 

 

source code : (quick and dirty but it's working... :) )

}

I hope it could help someone one day , it was really a pain to do by mouse and selection before I discovered CodeLab

I don't work on spritesheets, but that seems like it would be very useful to some people.

 

Here are a few suggestions...

 

Change all the defaults from 0. That way, when someone first opens the effect they can see it's doing something; rather than just blanking the canvas.

 

 

Change this code:

ColorBgra transparentPixel = new ColorBgra();
transparentPixel.A = 0;
transparentPixel.B = 0;
transparentPixel.G = 0;
transparentPixel.Bgra = 0;
    
for (int y = rect.Top; y < rect.Bottom; y++)
{
    for (int x = rect.Left; x < rect.Right; x++)
    {
        dst[x,y] = transparentPixel;
    }
}

To this:

for (int y = rect.Top; y < rect.Bottom; y++)
{
    for (int x = rect.Left; x < rect.Right; x++)
    {
        dst[x,y] = ColorBgra.Transparent;
    }
}

Or, better yet, this one line:

dst.Clear(rect, ColorBgra.Transparent);

After copying and pasting the original code into codelab I am able to preview the effect and see that a white layer would be rendered to square blocks.

Moving the sliders adjusts as expected but of course it doesn't render to canvas.

SpriteError.png.dbe43d869e9ce8e42724a7fd70018218.png

 

After I build and install the DLL, then restart Paint.Net, moving the fourth slider results in this crash report..

Looks like this is the real issue:

Actual value was {X=-11,Y=0}.

A negative coordinate.  nycos62's math must be incorrect.

@toe_head2001

Thanks for the reply. Looks like it is very easy to go out of bounds. Adjusting the sliders in the proper order as not to go out of bounds is the answer. No safeguards to warn the user like I have seen in other plugins. Adjusting the sliders from the bottom seemed to work until I got to the top sliders and rendered another crash. Same issue with values set to negative numbers. Posted for @nycos62

sorry, I posted a quick and dirty code as I was really excited with the discover of codeLab 15 minutes ago.

I rework the script tomorrow and post a bug free code

It could be great to add a OpenFileLocation Button after CodeLab generate a dll

 

CodeLab just puts the built zip files on the user's desktop.  They should be pretty easy to find by pressing and holding the windows key then pressing D.

Thanks for the updated code. Works as expected now. I believe i can make use of it in something other than sprite sheets. The more code I gather, the more chance I have to learn.

Your other two may be a little redundant. We have a few grid makers already built, but the center line I believe is unique for centering on the sprite sheet squares. With over 1K plugins now, its difficult to find something new. :)

good news ! I could not find these plugins, searched about 1 hour, and found codeLab, cost less time to code than search 😃

with this plugin you can guess the sprite dimensions when you start to work with pixel art materials found in google pictures, and you must know dimensions to import sprite sheets in game engine. For my personnal use I find them pretty effective. SpriteSheets are often packed, and in order to use AnimationHelper plugin from Pixelbyte Studio, you must center your sprite on tiles with same dimension
