Inactive [EDIT] Copycat v1.0 - Render images from a URL [1.4.6-R0.4]

Wow, Really?
Il try...

Tutorial? Commands? Etc?

The recommended CB version has to be in the title, you had it in the post.

You should really post a picture and the in-game screenshot of the rendered picture

y

You guys are just fast adopters. I'm editing damnit!

it wont let me paste
/copycat copy Crash

Crash is a shortcut to http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100915202628/megaman/images/thumb/5/58/Crashman.png/409px-Crashman.png

Fixed

I cant view your shortened URL (http://goo.gl/WEprl) from a browser. It is possible that URLs that forward may not work. I'll investigate and make sure to support forwards in a future release.

This Plugin Is Awesome!

Is there a way to set a height and width?

Not yet, but definitely will add it in the future, along with horizontally oriented images.

this plugin sounds epic! gonna install once I get home.

alright thanks! Also for some reason when I resized the image in photoshop to make it smaller the height in game stayed the same but the width went up 10 blocks.

There's a hard coded value in the config xml to clamp it to 64x64. It is editable by hand with server restart, but this is mainly due to some behavior that other developers have also noticed in the developer forums. Occasionally when trying to obtain a block, the minecraft server will throw up, seemingly at random. This was more likely to occur on larger images, so I decided to clamp it to 64x64 and maintain aspect ratio to minimize occurence.

sweetness!!!

Can you post the xml files? I'm getting an error because I don't have these files, and they aren't being auto-generated.

That shouldn't happen. Can you post the stack trace from your server console? I just deleted my config dir and the xml was generated as expected. For me this is under D:\games\minecraft-server\plugins\CopyCat

I dont know if this is your issue, but for me, I run windows 7 and could not get minecraft to behave in a Program Files type directory, even when trying to run as administrator.

Here's my pluginSettings.xml (rename from .txt):

I'm sorry, I don't think I was looking through my folders carefully enough, anyways, I tried the command and I got this.

says invalid command, this is so tight though

the latest craftbukkit does this. I've noticed "unknown command" with other plugins as well since the latest craftbukkit update. It is not from this plugin. I know its ugly, but hopefully will be fixed or have a workaround soon.

keep getting this error

It looks like it may be an issue with minecraft server installed in a dir with spaces in it (notice %20 in the path you posted). I'll make a note of it and fix in the next release.

this is cool, wish it had size options, its ok tho

does this work just for 8 bit stuff?

No, it has a built-in nearest color matcher. Right now it will first scale the image, match each pixel to the nearest wool color, and then draw. However, if the image is already 8 bit, it would most likely look a lot better once rendered. Also, the color matching is done on the default textures (since it is server-side). If a user has a client with custom textures, then the color matching on the blocks may not be perceived as being optimal. .

I see
What a brilliant mothereffin mod

by the way, it seems to just post like, a few blocks over, maybe 10-15 blocks to the right but REALLY high in the air, any idea why it might do that? and I get Unknown console command regardless if it seems to take

Well, there goes any incentive build manually. Hehe!

I don't believe this works on older versions of Bukkit such as 617:

It loaded a wall of white wool in game, but it didn't load the image... and the wall wasn't even as big as it's supposed to be to fit the image anyways. I'm sure the errors should explain it all though.

Question: Any way to make this print horizontally instead of vertically? I would love to have a picture laid out over a field, viewable from the server's map. Thanks!
