So a while back I made a little tool to assist in the creation of sprites.  I've decided to share it here with everyone with the small chance that someone finds it useful.  If enough people get some use out of it I may try to update it on suggestions

Link: http://uppit.com/wzc5psa98um2/Minecraft_Image_to_Text.jar

Funcion: So what does this program do anyways? Basically it'll take an image that was converted to use only colors available in Minecraft (Using a photo editing program such as GIMP or Photoshop and a palatte) and display all of the colors in a text file.  See: http://www.opticraft.net/index.php/topic,2085.0.html on how to do that!  Once the image has been converted it is to be saved as a .ppm file (GIMP allows this, I'm assuming Photoshop does as well!)

Please note, when you save the .ppm file you MUST save it in Ascii form, not Raw form!

Usage:

What you'll need:

• The image you wish to convert (Saved as a .PPM)
• A palatte file you used to convert the image (For now, only .gpl files work!)

So, once you've downloaded the .jar file, simply double click it to run the program. (If the program does not start for some reason, try right-clicking it and selecting "Open With -> Java"

1.) Read the description then press "OK"
2.) Read the prompt, press "OK"
3.) Select the .gpl file you used to convert the image.
4.) Read the prompt, press "OK"
5.) Select the .PPM file you'll be using.
6.) Read the prompt, press "OK"
7.) Choose the name and location of the .txt file that will be created.  Click Save
8.) Finished


The .txt file created will have a key at the bottom.  Each row of the text file corresponds to one line in the sprite.  The last line in the text file is the bottom of the sprite, the first line the top.  Simply read each line left to right and place the blocks of that row left to right.

For Example: A sprite like this:
BBBBB
BBBBB

Would be a text file like this:

Red, Green, BlueX2, Red
Blue, Green, RedX3
The point of this program is to (hopefully) make things a bit easier than trying to click on the colors with a color selector tool to see what they are and switching back and forth between your image editor and minecraft.  Yes, I know there are other ways of using image editors (Selecting all pixels of once color and doing them all at once) but this just offers an alternative method.

Let me know what you think

Current rank: Builder

Reason for application: There are quite a few times I've been on where there were none or only one operator online who was swamped with people asking for help.  I feel as though I could help a lot if I became an op and I would be a valuable member of the operating team.  I would do my best to help everyone that that needed assistance and help keep the server running free of griefers/spammers.

Why you should become an operator: I believe that I am helpful and responsible person.  If given the role of op I think I would be able to fully help anyone on the server who needed it.  I have been spending quite a bit of time trying my best to help with guests in any way I could in addition to answering any questions they may have about various things. 

Have you been temp-op before?: Unfortunately no, the opportunity never presented itself.

Extra information: Although I am a builder, I feel as though I'd be better suited to the role of operator.  I rarely have any inspiration to build anymore and to be quite frank I think my skills as a builder are unimpressive.  I get much more enjoyment out of being helpful.

A short guide on using ImageMagick, an image editing program that works through the command line.
Here I'll show you how to remap images, useful for making sprites with a palette larger than 256 colors.

ImageMagick can be found here: www.imagemagick.org

Download and install ImageMagick from their website.

First make a folder somewhere and put into it the image you wish to remap and an image containing all the colors you wish to use (the color palette)
Then open up the command prompt, and change directory to this folder you created.

cd {directory}
The line used to convert the image takes the following format:

convert {image to be converted} -remap {image containing colors (color palette)} {new image to be created}
Then in the folder, the new image will be created.

For changing dithering methods other than the default Riemersma method:

convert {image to be converted} -dither {method} -remap {image containing colors (color palette)} {new image to be created}
The methods available for dithering are: none, riemersma, and floydsteinberg

I made a video demonstrating all of this if you'd like to see it done:

Hope this helps

So my laptop decided to break on me.  I think the graphics card on it is shot.  I won't be on minecraft for a couple of days until I'm able to get it fixed. (I think it's still under warranty thankfully)

I'll still pop on the forums and maybe get into IRC here and there but this old desktop can't run minecraft without me turning fog on all the way (even then it still laggs).

See ya 'round guys

Hi everyone! I've been playing on opticraft for a few days now, I think some of you have probably seen me already (maybe) but I figured I'd actually post and say hello.
