thanks Conbagui!
thanks Issabella! Ya, I was sure you were not afraid of trolls, they are likeable, even if a little bit...spiteful

I get this error:

Warrior,
I think you have to get layerfx.py from
http://gimpscripts.com/2011/10/gimp-layer-effects/

and delete your layerfx.2.8.py

Yep, that did it. So, I don't need the layerfx.2.8py for anything anymore?

Thanks for the script, and thanks conbagui for the idea for the script.

Warrior, I do not know for sure, I have heard others (can't remember who) mentioned that layerfx.2.8.py is buggy.
it's not a big deal though, if you do end up needing it it's always available for download.

All my scripts use layerfx.py so you should be safe with mine.
layerfx.2.8.py is very buggy when you add it to your scm code (Procedural calls).

Hy to all gimpers,

I have a problem with the tree bark script! It's running, but then it stops and a error message appears:

Gradient Overlay Warning
Error: Argument 0 not found in gradient list.

Tree bark Warning
Error by Execute of script-fu-tree-bark:

Error: (<unknown> : 156329617) Procedure execution of python-layer-fx-gradient-overlay failed


GIMP Warning
Plug-In 'Tree bark' left image undo in inconsistent state, closing open undo groups.

I have this layers shown up:



What does it mean? What is to do to fix this error?

Light and Love

Unfortunately the author (conbagui), removed the original tutorial from Gimp Chat. In the instructions (at the beginning of this tutorial) you need conbagui's "mossy bark texture gray.jpg" and "mossy bark texture.jpg" in your gimp's patterns folder. Also, from your error message it looks like you need the layer-fx plug-ins (required by Tree_bark,scm).

To bad the tutorial is gone !
I used a couple of bark images from the net and named them,
mossy bark texture.jpg and mossy bark texture gray.jpg
First time I have used this script and I Love it.
Thank You, trandoductin

Hy, thanks for your answer, but this doesn't help me.

I'm using Ubuntu Studio 16.04 LTS and Gimp Version 2.8.18, I've deleted the layerfx.2.8.py from the system and put the layerfx.py in my plugin folder.

This script works, but there must be a mistake in it.

Error message:

Gradient Overlay Warning
Error: Argument 0 not found in gradient list.

Tree bark Warning
Fehler beim Ausführen von script-fu-tree-bark:

I don't know what that means, I'm not a scripter, maybe there must be changed something in the script?

You added the required patterns?

Edit : original attachments in the post Odinbc (# 37)

There is a slight problem with the names of the patterns.
MareroQ, I downloaded your patterns but got a error when running the script.
All I had to do was change the capitol letter Mossy bark texture grey.jpg to a small m, mossy bark texture grey.jpg
The other pattern, Mossy bark texture keeps the capital letter.
I didn't think Gimp was that fussy or maybe it's Script-fu.
Anyway, changed that and no errors.

Here's what I observed, after a few test runs.

1. Before running Tree_bark.scm, either select the Layer with your artwork or use Alpha to Selection.
2. Tree_bark.scm requires, layerfx.py. It seems not to work with either, layerfx.2.8.py or layerfx.scm (Linux, GIMP 2.8.18).
3. Tree_bark.scm default textures are named, mossy bark texture gray.jpg & Mossy bark texture.jpg (they are not required, choose other Textures).
4. Tree_bark.scm seems to work with any .pat file.

The Wayback Machine: original Tree Bark Text Tutorial including PDF/Files (2014-06-11)

Does anyone have the "mossy bark texture gray.jpg" and "mossy bark texture.jpg" ?

In the zip are three images: two mossy bark and the blurred forest background.

Hi back,

I've uses other textures, but will trying it to change the capitol letters into small ones. Downloades the Tree Bark Patterns. zip and the tutorial, thank u very much for that!

Thanks, odinbc. What would we do without the "Wayback Machine".

I have updated the 1st post to have the new link to tutorial and added step 0) which tells people to have layerfx.py installed.
Just did a test.

I have to play with this too! It was before I joined so I missed it.
