MareroQ,
Boom! I That's an awesome explosion.

There's also a much smaller explosion - but handmade by Teapot is nicer.

I wonder if it were not possible to make your plug-in translation ready.
You already have this in the script


so what would be necessary to make it translatable with a language file would be to change strings like


to


Furthermore, I would not put that into "gimp20-python" but some other name ("gimp-cosmos-python" maybe), so it's not overwritten with GIMP updates.
Just a thought ...

Thanks Rich. I gave it another try based on that tutorial. I agree it's not easy.


MareroQ Yours is the much harder task in making it generic as mine was bespoke to that image. I wonder if it's worth splitting the item up more before the zoom motion blur so it's not so dense? I used rep_array_random_jumble_by_px in the one above for the far flung pieces.

@Nelo.
I can do that for Ver.1.0

@Teapot.
Here is a small dilemma:
- do you want to recognize what has exploded?
or
- just the overall result of the explosion (tailored to each object)?

Thanks to your suggestions, I added more control options to the FX tab - let the user decide (to some extent - the rest must be tweaked manually).


Edit:The attachment has been removed as there is already a newer version available.

Wow MareroQ that was quick

Here's a go with the ships neonised before exploding one and for the second image I had a play with gmic on the result to try and make an old science fiction mags look inspired by rich2005's link in post #73

I added the last scheduled option to FX: Meteorize.
I think I will wait with the release of this version (probably the last one) to the stable G'MIC 3.1. so we are still waiting for your ideas and suggestions.

@Nelo,

I checked if the translation from the * .mo file would work (so far only one tab per test).
It works - but I have doubts about its purposefulness - because the translation requires a bit of effort: a lot of lines, knowledge of Poedit, different division (into lines) of the translation (because the number of letters is different), probably a different file for Windows and Linux (I haven't checked).
Who will feel like it and the time (not to mention a little knowledge of "Poedit")?

Yes, you might be right.
It was just an idea. Would be easy at least for future plug-ins just to write string in a translatable way.
I'll go on translating interesting plug-ins in that way -- helps my husband, who doesn't know any English.

with the colours for me also problem I not know witch is for what chosen I have trey to make one more deep winter Planet, I mean not like the Titan moon or other moons. More like deep Alaska or Siberian in coldest winter moths not under -70° C.

@Abraess
Can You give the steps (approximately) how to achieve it or at least some image?

@Nelo.
I absolutely do not withdraw from a given word.
The plugin is now ready for translation - and the complete P&M Cosmos.mo file will be in version 1.0. (and by the way, I fixed some bugs related to layer names created with: 'gimp_layer_new_from_drawable' - because GIMP translates the word 'Copy' into different languages).
What users will do with it is their business - I did what I promised.

Thanks a lot MareroQ
This way ... when the script is updated the translation is quickly updated as well.
If I translate the strings in the file itself I'll have to do that for each new version. ( I did that often enough in the past)
So, with the translatable strings marked, you just tell poedit to update the file, translate, put the file in the right place and done.
Would be great if more script coders would do that from the start.

Invitation to Stargate?

The release of the stable 3.1 G'MIC may not be as fast as I thought (more and more changes including a new preview type?) so a small change of plans:
Ver.1.0 (which was supposed to be final) released today will have possible fixes when the new G'MIC version is released (as this plugin uses 58 times "pdb.plug_in_gmic_qt" ).

This version includes language files for user translations (currently only in Polish).
If someone will be translating to another language, add the translation here.
If you are not interested in the translation, you can remove the directory 'locale' from the attachment.



Edit:The attachment has been removed as there is already a newer version available.

Since I've started the discussion about translations ...
I'll do the German translation.

Thanks a lot @MareroQ for making the plug-in translatable.

Translation file for German language comes here:


Updated German translation for Version 1.5 of the plug-in

A quick test with the stable G'MIC 3.1.0 showed no problems.
Nelo added a German translation - so it's also included in this bundle (Thanks for your work and your time) .

As we say in "Help":
We wish You a good use of this plugin, have fun:
Pocholo and MareroQ.

Sorry - I uploaded bad files in this post - the latest version 1.1 is here:
https://www.gimpscripts.net/2022/04/p-cosmos.html

... the fun will probably never end, even when I play alone ...

... some of my dreams ...
