Isn't that saulgoode's combine background and overlay bg you mentioned above? I love those two scripts, I would never remove them. I didn't know Fencepost made a combine background script.

@ Molly
the FP and SG script are very similar, if i remember well FP added to the original SG script some options

I do not see much reason to keep both, but if you really want both and they conflict (for same registry path or same procedure name ) we may edit one of the 2 to avoid conflict

still i don't see why have 2 scripts doing more or less the same thing, but if you really wish we may try

I am having very bad luck with this in GIMP 2.6.11 and Fedora Linux. I used the combine script that was included in the 3DFun zipped file.

This is the starting image. Two layers: Text on top layer, black is background layer.


These are the settings I used:


These are the error messages I got.


An added note: After a couple tries, I booted my computer, restarted GIMP.

From the error message I believe you have also a similar script of Saulgoode installed, that use same procedure name but the paramethers not matching .

In other word i think that the Saulgoode script is called instead than the one included, but since is different can't be used ..and the script abort with a error message

No matter which one I use, I still get the overlay background error. I've used the combine-bg I had, deleted it, used the one that came in the zip file with the 3D Fun scripts, and downloaded it from the website. I get the same error every time in both of the 3D Fun scripts.

Maybe is risky use scripts that are diffused in too much slightly different versions as dependency... it is easy that a almost clone of 1 of the script will interfere ...but here i let to the more expert the solution

Something else is still interfering with mine too.
I have the combine bg script, the move script and the 3-D-FUN script and have removed the other versions.
I even tried re-writing this line to get it to fire the other script (overlay), that i was using.


Still i have to manually overlay the background. :\

I probably will have to remove everything, and start over.The script works fine other than that though.
So i know it has something to do with the scripts for overlay background conflicting.The thing is i removed all but one (sg-anim-overlay-background) , so i do not know why it isn't working now.

WAIT! the Combine bg script has overlay in it doesn't it?
I wonder if that is the conflict then?

O, I finally figured out what the problem is. The top where you have text is fine.
Below that you have a black background. Make your background transparent and select background in the dropdown. When you run the script, it will add the black background.

It doesn't matter whether the background layer is black or transparent, I still get the same error.

I've deleted the 3D Fun script. It just doesn't work for me.

The only one I have is combine-bg.scm. No others.

I had the combine-bg script already and got the error message and I deleted it, then used the one in your zip file and got the error message, deleted that one, and then browsed to saulgoode's website and downloaded it from here, and I still get that error message about it. I think it's just not meant to be for me.

Oregonian !! ...that is the OLD saulgoode side with OLD version of his script !!

BOOKMARK this page http://chiselapp.com/user/saulgoode/rep ... pt-fu/home it is the NEW Saulgoode site

Graechan, I tried the one in the zip file you posted with the script in it. It's named: combine-bg.scm. It didn't work for me. Here is a screen shot of the contents of the 3D-Fun.zip file.


The one named: sg-combine-bg.scm that PhotoComix posted the link to does work. Thank you PhotoComix.

Another case solved

ahhh that is much better.
