Volume Express..for simple tiles

This script-fu (created mainly from the script "add-bevel.scm" which is installed by default) adds to an existing layer, a layer composed of squares or rectangles (size of your choice) in shades of gray but with bevels. The goal is to facilitate the creation of pavements with a little "volume". arfff. Difficult to explain -_-'

Isometric roof (26.57 degrees)

This script-fu rotates an image -/+ 26.57 degrees to help to make an isometric roof. There are some little options to resize, to cut the semi-transparent pixels, to merge down.
I don't know if this script will be very useful. It is for me, so I am sharing.

example:

Transpose all tiles from a tile-based layer

Suppose the current layer has a tile-based image (e.g. the tileset for a game). This script will transpose all tiles, so that the tile at the position (1,0) will end at (0,1).

Very useful if you have your sprite sheet as a tall strip of frames (one on top of the other), but you need it as a horizontal strip (with frames side-by-side, as required by Game Maker). With this plugin, you can transpose the frames to convert from one format to another.

Split layer into tiles

Split a layer into many layers, one for each tile. This is useful for editing tile-based images for some games and applications.

Offset

This script-fu allows to shift tiles/bricks/blocks one row or column out of two. It will help to draw brick walls, etc...

You can find "00 - Offset by froGgy" in Filters>2D Isometric-Fu>

I know this is not isometry, but I want to gather together in the same directory all the little script-fu that can help draw walls, floors, roofs etc...before their transformation into isometry.

example:

Fibonacci spiral

Converts a square or rectangular image into a Fibonacci spiral by making smaller copies of the image, rotating them, and arranging them into a spiral tiling. If the initial image is square, then the tiling has no overlap; for a rectangular image, the user can specify a blending mode for how the overlap is treated.

Sprite Sheet / Animation tiles

Creates a new spritesheet (animation frames) from the layers of an image.


1) To install, copy SpriteSheet.scm to {GIMP-HOME}\share\gimp\2.0\scripts\SpriteSheet.scm
2) Either close Gimp and re-open, or simply select menu: Filters > Script-Fu > Refresh Scripts
3) Load your images via File > Open as layers (select all the images you want to in the spritesheet)
4) Optionally re-order your layers to determine ultimate order.

tiles to files

Partitions an image into tiles (with, optionally, either gaps or overlaps between them) and then writes each tile as a separate jpeg file.

An alternative method of doing the same thing would involve first setting up a grid of guides (eg, http://registry.gimp.org/node/12003), then using Image->Transform->Guillotine (as noted here: http://registry.gimp.org/node/20826), and then saving each of the generated images to a file.  read more »

Quadrupole

Takes an image, makes four 1/4 scale copies, and reflects them about vertical and horizontal axes to achieve a four-fold symmetry.

Note: As well as being atrociously inefficient (eg, by scaling the same image four times, instead of making copies after the first scaling), this code does substantially less than the "Small Tiles" dialog (which comes standard in Gimp in /Filters/Map)

Count tiles for a mosaic

# GIMP plugin to count the number of tiles of the FG color

This plugin breaks the layer into tiles and counts the number of tiles containing a percentage of the FG color, and optionally draws a grid in the bg color. The plug-in also reports the total percentage of the FG color in the layer. For best results, use a flattened copy of your layered image.

Parameters:
Tile size: Enter the tile size in pixels
Minimum Percent: Ignore tiles with lower than this percent of the fg color.  read more »
