ofn-tiles & ofn-export-layers

[jahf]

1) Thanks for the script. 


2) For my own uses I made a modification that may help someone else. 

(adding detailed description to aid in search indexing, this is a sorta niche case)

Details:

I'm wanting to slice a bunch of images into tiles for a Minecraft repeating texture (connected texture, method=repeat). The format for this is numbering each tile starting at 0 and incrementing (height and width of the completed tile are defined in the .properties file) with nothing else in the filename. 

Ie, if slicing an image into 4 tiles (2 x ), the files would be: 0.png, 1.png, 2.png, 3.png

To do that I added a formatValue for "current". 

In the version of 'ofn-tiles' dated 2020-08-16, go to line 88, which (in case future updates change the line this occurs on) will look like:
 

Code:

            formatValues['tileRC1']=tileRC+1,

Add a new line below it that says:

Code:

            formatValues['current']=((row*columns)+(column+1))-1

Then when exporting tiles, change the filename to be only:

{current}.png

This addition won't change any other functionality of the script. 

(first time messing with Python, so if I've goofed post a correction

...

Note: if you're here for this and you're ONLY going to be using the plugin for this purposed, you can also change:

Code:

        (PF_STRING,     'namePattern',  'Tile name',   '{imageName}-{column1:02d}-{row1:02d}.png'),

to:

Code:

#        (PF_STRING,     'namePattern',  'Tile name',   '{imageName}-{column1:02d}-{row1:02d}.png'),
        (PF_STRING,     'namePattern',  'Tile name',   '{current}.png'),

and it will default to this as the export filename (for the rows and columns method, changing the width and height default is equally as easy).
