.nfp viewer? nfp as startup

hi guys

i dont know (and didnt find) how to show a npf file on a monitor.
im looking for a program (startup) that shows the nfp file a monitor… i use the NPaintPro to create them…i guess that these files from npaintpro are for 1 5x3 monitor.

it would be also interesting to have like screensaver from nfp files

thanks :)/>

Program requests typically don't get far, but helping people make programs is usually productive.

I would start by looking at the render code for NPaintPro.

NFP files share the same format as regular CC Paint files. You should be able to load and view them via the paintutils API.

Eg:

term.redirect( peripheral.find("monitor") )  -- Redirect terminal output to the first found monitor.

paintutils.drawImage( paintutils.loadImage( "yourNFPfile.nfp" ), 1, 1 )  -- Draw image on the current terminal.

i couldnt make it work -facepalm-,…but i kept looking posts here, and could make something that works

term.redirect( peripheral.find("monitor") )
bground = paintutils.loadImage("FILENAME.nfp")
    paintutils.drawImage(bground,1,1)

now im trying to make a gif,,,,,show image1.npf, then image2.npf …
my knowlage from programing is <0 :)/>
i tried this xd

term.redirect( peripheral.find("monitor") )
while true do
bground = paintutils.loadImage("mando.nfp")
paintutils.drawImage(bground,1,1)
wait(2)
bground = paintutils.loadImage("mando2.nfp")
paintutils.drawImage(bground,1,1)
end

and i have look this in the nyan cat animation xd

while true do
local e, t = os.pullEvent("timer")
if t == timer then
return
end

idk :)/> i have to reseatch more :)/>

thanks

Well of course, the really easy way to show a GIF is:

if not fs.exists( "package" ) then shell.run( "pastebin get cUYTGbpb package" ) end
if not fs.exists( "GIF" ) then shell.run( "pastebin get 5uk9uRjC GIF" ) end

os.loadAPI( "package" )
os.loadAPI( "GIF" )

GIF.animateGIF( GIF.loadGIF( "yourGIF.gif" ), 1, 1, peripheral.find( "monitor", function(side, ob) ob.setTextScale(0.5) return ob.isColour() end ) )

… but if you specifically wanted to work with NFP files, you might do something like:

local images = {paintutils.loadImage("frame1.nfp"), paintutils.loadImage("frame2.nfp"), etc}

while true do
	for i = 1, #images do
		paintutils.drawImage(images[i], 1, 1)
		sleep(0.5)
	end
end
