Resizing (3 possibilities)

[Drake7707]

Which would you prefer ?

 

The first option will copy regardless of there are not so many tile 0's, which leads to double walls.

 

The second option checks the line to be copied from the source with the next line from the source, and compares the number of tile 0's on those lines. This will significantly decrease the amount of double walls, but introduces some holes in the walls (more like distortions)

 

The third is actually the same as the second but also checks with the one next of the next one, which could remove double walls some more, but introduce a lot more gaps

 

(don't mind the asteroids, it still doesn't keep that in mind)

 

Edit: hm, seems like the gaps were made because of a bug, rather than with the prev<->next check.

I'll edit the picture. Picture edited!

 

And Apache, just see the picture, and pick the one you'd like best of the 3 resizes. I resized the original in 3 different ways explained above.

I don't really understand...

I think the prev<->next<->nextnext one looked like the one that would take the least editing afterwards... It really looked the cleanest to me. Any way you do it, it's gonna take some editing afterwards, it's a given.

 

I am really anxious to see how it works downsizing...

 

Lookin good!

[Drake7707]

downsizing uses the exact opposite, check lines for the most tile0 and leave them out if necessary

[Samapico]

or give option to use one of the 3 'rendering' options... give them some complicated names like Bilinear Anti-aliasing Sampling or Synchroneous Axis Redundancy Check

lol

 

... if you can see a preview for each , it would probably be the best thing to do, as one method might give better results for 'some' type of base, or areas

[Drake7707]

sama = options freak

 

dunno if it should be an option or not, it's not that much work, but wouldn't it be a little overkill ?

[»SOS]

Hmm... options... why not. DCME does not have too many options yet

[Samapico]

as option i meant, at the moment of resizing, pop up something to ask:

 

what kind of resizing you want?

 

a ) some kind of resizing

b ) another kind of resizing

c ) just try to resize and stfu

[ ] always use this

 

[ preview ] [ do it ]

 

 

kinda like when you 'resize' in paint shop pro.. you can choose between Pixel resize, Bilinear resample, Bicubic resample, Smart size

and then enter the proportions.. horizontally and vertically, either in % or in pixels (that would be tiles for us)

[Drake7707]

i thought more about having the selection

 

O ---- O

| |

O ---- O

 

and you can drag the nodes to resize

[Samapico]

hmmm.. that too.. but we should be able to resize it via a resize window too... edit -> resize

 

and did you try to see what happens with diagonal walls with each of these resizing methods?

[Drake7707]

diagonals are a bit !@#$%^&*ed the last time i tried it, but i haven't tried it since i fixed the offset bug in the X resizing

[a dead fish]

When you guys gonna stick this back in?

[Drake7707]

holy crap, did i made this poll over a month ago o-O".

 

There's still an issue with the special tiles being partly copied, but when it's resolved i'll add it

[a dead fish]

ehhe, yeah. Time flies

 

Anyways, iirc, this was actually functional in one of the "edits", correct? Do you possibly remember which one? I have found myself in the dire need to use it, lol.

 

Thanks again guys, this thing is great.

[Samapico]

There, I compiled a quick version with a 'Resize' button

 

there will eventually be a more sophisticated interface for it...

 

resizing a selection that is near right or bottom edge of map would make it crash too... so watch out

Wow, thanks. It worked like a charm!

[Drake7707]

a gui is in the make (well gui is finished, but doesn't work completely)

[Drake7707]

Finished in v1.2.6.

 

All 3 options are available as resize type.

 

The normal resize is just how pixels are resized, which is good for resizing anything other than bases

 

The 2nd resize type is more base-resize oriented, as it will resize and try to maximize the empty space in the base.

 

The 3rd resize type is a stronger variation of the 2nd.
