GIMP plugin to embed text to side bar icons in C&C mods
Installation
- First, you have to determine where your GIMP plugin should be placed.
- To do that, open GIMP.
- Filters –> Python-Fu –> Console
- Type the following command without quotes: “print(gimp.directory)”
- You'll see something like this:
- C:\Users\user\.gimp-2.8
- /home/user/.gimp-2.8
- We will call this $GIMP_HOME
- Place put_ra1.py in $GIMP_HOME/plug-ins directory, which should be already there.
- Copy (or soft link) ra1_cameo_font data into $GIMP_HOME so that
the plugin can find $GIMP_HOME/ra1_cameo_font/a.png, b.png, …
- Restart GIMP, if you haven't closed it already.
How to use
- Demo: https://youtu.be/IHOe-uCPbh8
- You'll see the following new menu:
- Filters –> Python-Fu –> RA1 Cameo Text
- Click on it, type your cameo text and that's it.
- It creates two new layers, one is half-transparent background for the text
and the other is the cameo text. You can move or delete them to fit your need.
- This script can be adapted to do RA2 cameo too.
You need to copy the script, make alphabets in PNG format
like the ones in ra1_cameo_font (with alpha channel as transparency),
then modify LETTER_WIDTH variable in the script.
