Hello everyone!

I have a "Map" of a game, divided into many pieces, and I would like to know, if there any tool or plugin, to rejoin the whole map.
(Too many images, to do it manually).

All parts of the "Map" are numbered:
The first number is the "Column", and the second number is the "Row"

I attached an image to see if it helps me explain.


Thank you very much to all, greetings

Hi Ray. Welcome to the Gimp Chat website. =)

Not sure if that can be accomplished in GIMP with scripts.

How many pieces and are the pieces all the exact same size?

Hello Rod, Thanks for the welcome

I do not know, make a script, or plugins but, I think I have an idea ... I just need someone to run it!

Hi animicule!

Are 1024 pieces, all measure the same (512x512px), so would be:
32 pieces high
32 pieces wide
And the size of the map is considerable: 16384x16384px!

Look for scripts to handle "sprite sheets".

Hello ofnuts!
I already tried it, very good indeed, and I remember that it served to cut, I hope it serves to rejoin Thank you really!

After I comment, how was I!


EDIT
-----

Okay, I already did some tests, unsatisfactory!

Sprite Sheet:
You have no options, of any kind.

Even so, I did a test with a complete "column"; From 0x0 to 0x31,
What made "Sprite Sheet" below, is to create a "row"! (First failure).

In theory, would it serve Sprite Sheet, for this purpose? Yes!
But it is too cumbersome, in case of being many images,
Since you should select 32 images at a time, and trying to know which layer order to choose!

Then find another similar program

Texture Atlas:
This one has options, although I do not understand them at all, but still try to do a test .... this gives you the option to select the folder of textures, to create the "Atlas", I did the test, and the program failure!

Maybe they were too many images, because instead of trying again with the 1024 images, probe only with 32, as with the "Sprite Sheet", but returned to failure ...

I think the best would be to create a plugin, but I do not have the ability.

I hope someone is encouraged, that in the future can serve someone

When using File>Open as layers you can select several files at once, so loading all your images is a snap. IIRC the layers are stacked in alphabetical order.

Not Gimp & not so easy for a Windows user, but you can use ImageMagick command line.

It all depends on generating a suitable file list (a text file). The numbered files you get out of Gimp will probably be ordered in columns while ordered in rows will be needed.

This using your 4x4 image, 32x32 will take a bit of editing for the text file.



rotate the tiles 90 anticlockwise to set up for joining in rows


Feed the images using the file list into montage using the tile size and the grid to assemble a new image


Rotate the result back to correct orientation

Hi, Ofnuts
I do not understand, very well referred to, "IIRC", is not a program, right?
Cursed is this translator, maintaining a fluid translation becomes a hell!
That's why I apologize and be patient with me!

------------------------------------------------------

Hi, rich2005

It's a shame, other than "Gimp", but I'll try, although I think I've come up with a solution, but I have not tried it.

Even so, you have done a satisfactory test with "Image Magic" right?
I will take it as a last resort , thank you very much!

---------------------------------------------------------

This is what I found by reviewing RegistryGimp;

You can change to vertical sprite sheet by opening the "SpriteSheet.scm" and editing the following lines:

Line 7: Change (imgw 0) to (imgh 0)
Line 10: Change (xoff 0) to (yoff 0)
Line 16: Change (set! imgw (car (gimp-image-width anImage))) to (set! imgh (car (gimp-image-height anImage)))
Line 20: Change (gimp-layer-translate layr xoff 0) to (gimp-layer-translate layr 0 yoff)
Line 21: Change (set! xoff (+ imgw xoff)) to (set! yoff (+ imgh yoff))

Hopefully no typos, haven't tested this.


Vertical SpriteSheet
You can try Fuse Layers script:
1 on X axis gives you vertical sprite-sheet, n=#layers - horizontal.

Ray, how are your images named?

Is position column 0, row 0 named image_00_00.png for example?

Or are they just sequential numbers?

Hello paynekj
Exactly, as seen in my example image, that is at the beginning of the post!

The images are configured as follows:
Map_Terrain_0x0 (the first 0 is a column, and the second is a row!
Map_Terrain_0x1
Map_Terrain_0x2
Etc etc up to:
Map_Terrain_0x31
All these go in the first column, the following would be:
Map_Terrain_1x0

I hope I can understand my way of explaining!

Imagen names order:

Ofnuts, the next one and know that it is "IIRC"!


EDIT

If someone understands code, and helps me modify the "Fuse_Layer.scm"
And change the writing of: X to Y, it would be something even to do a test!



I'm very sorry for the insistence, but I've been missing more than once!
Maybe this is the last ...

Someone may be able to re write it so it begins a new row of layers after x = amount of tiles per row.
Have you contacted the author of this script?

So far today I've written some Python to detect the files and load them as layers, positioned correctly:


Some more tidying to do yet.

Hi Rod!
Is that in the script appear several names, somebody called Brian, and someone named Eduardo Hernandez!

I do not know, who will be the publisher, if anyone copies part of the code ...
That's why I did not!
-----------------------

Hi paynekj!
That's what I think? really?
Good heavens, it seems like a lot of work

Although, I recommend using "Fuse_Layer", and change only where you type in "X", with that change already the script, works perfectly!

Although, if you are doing what I think, are more possibilities, ie: to choose in which address to write, it would be very good for any type of map

I really want to try it with this map!

OK here's my badly written Python plug-in

I don't know what will happen with your 32x32 tiles, good luck

It doesn't save the resulting image when it is finished, so it is your problem to do so.

Extract the .py file from the zip archive and put it into your personal plug-ins directory.

It registers into the menus at contributed>>Build Map from tiles

Hello paynekj!
I've tried the "Plugin", and I'm getting this:

An error ocurred running Python_fu_kp24_build_mad
- ValueError: invalid literal for int () with base 10: ''

More Information:

I really do not know what happened

I can get that error if I have a file named: Map_Terrain_x.png (or Map_Terrain_axb.png) which is missing the row/column numbers.

You must ensure you only have files that include numerical row/column numbers

Well, I can happily tell you it seems to work just fine, although I only used 90 x 90 px blocks of colour - the plug-in did it's job and arranged them properly (and pretty quickly too!)
Well done that man
Here is what the folder of original tiles looked like followed by the resulting image.
