[1.46]make smaller pixels

That would be pretty cool but isn't one pixel currently equal to one character space? I'm just guessing but I think that it would be kinda difficult to make smaller pixels this way. Still a cool suggestion and it would be great to see it implemented in the mod !

Use a monitor at max size with 0.5 size - should give you plenty of characters.

The problem I foresee is lag. With minimum text scale, maximum monitor size, and fast refresh rate, drawing pixels in the screen can already cut my laptop from 30fps to 2fps. Making it any smaller would just cause more lag.

Maybe just a tine bit smaller textScale option (0.25?) and config option for max monitor size? Bad idea?, but look at the kitty!

save image using 16 color palette–> made a own prog that read the pixel info and turns it into txt file where white=00…black=15, one line of codepairs is one line of pixels (don't know how to make it in lua…yet) –> in cc it reads 2 chars at time, changes the background color and writes one " " space. Must be easier way, but im still making my learning steps =)

Spoiler

please share that code with us….

Offtopic but how did you make that picture?

Cloudy, on 27 January 2013 - 11:57 AM said:

You can do stuff like that and yet you still want more pixels? o.O

term.pixelMode()
local scrX,scrY = term.getSize()
for x = 1,scrX do
for y = 1,scrY do
term.setPixel(x,y,colors.white)
end
end

When in doubt, use CCLights! http://puu.sh/1M4k6
I realy should stop throwing that picture everywhere…

And that is honestly some amazing stuff with the limited monitor scale o_O

i cleaned it up a bit (some not so important lines still in). Its kinda my first real program so…try to bare it.

my pixel2txt program is actually made with program called "Neobook". Its kinda like multimedia kiosk maker but has some scripting capabilities and get the work done =) Until i learn this lua stuff better.

edit: http://an3mia.net/mc/ccf.rar here is some image text files if you want to check those in-game (just extract in your computer root) Use max-sized monitor thou…

How did you convert a picture to show up in cc lights?

aNemia1981, on 29 January 2013 - 05:42 AM said:

Thats a nice pic Cruor, but render time 10-15mins… =) I had same idea to read raw image data and convert them into cc's 16 color on the fly…but got so confused. But even with textScale 0.25 you could get 240x160 images in sec that look really nice even in low color palette. BTW, I'm thinking about making my convert program to support all possible monitor sizes. If/when done, whats the policy of sharing that app (exe) here?

Do you mind releasing the pixel to text program? or do you need the Neobook thingy to run it?

artv2 file             - Put this into your minecraft/<world>/computer/<id>/
ccf folder             - Put this into your minecraft/<world>/computer/<id>/
bmp2ColorPair.exe         - Programs thats converts pixels into numerical code and save the file as text
GIMP_cc_colorPalette.gpl    - Indexed color palette for GIMP
PS_cc_colorPalette.act        - Indexed color palette for Photoshop

Like PixelToast said…i could hide nasty things in exe, but i wont (trust me, im from internets). I could release bmp2txt as the code form but then you would have to install the yet another prog and get all required plugins for it to compile the actual app. So at your own risk, until someone makes alternative/better way todo bmp2txt…heres my way:

http://an3mia.net/mc/CC_art.rar

Package contains:

artv2 file			 - Put this into your minecraft/<world>/computer/<id>/
ccf folder			 - Put this into your minecraft/<world>/computer/<id>/
bmp2ColorPair.exe		 - Programs thats converts pixels into numerical code and save the file as text
GIMP_cc_colorPalette.gpl	- Indexed color palette for GIMP
PS_cc_colorPalette.act		- Indexed color palette for Photoshop

How to:

1. Open image in PS or GIMP
2. Resize it max width 164px, max height 80px
3. Change image mode to indexed and load custom palette from package (Recommend you also put dither/pattern option on for better result)
4. Save as (Export as in gimp) BMP, 8bit no compression
5. Open file in bmp2ColorPair
6. Wait….takes little bit of time
7. Put <imagefilename>.txt in minecraft/<world>/computer/<id>/ccf/
8. Run artV2 in CC, load your file
9. Profit
