Assets Converter Problems

[pirni]

Hy!

I convert some images to one Asset but i have a problem on screen.

Some images are ok and some images are only symbols or stripes.

had some one else the same problem?

With some more details, I think we can probably give more help.

Perhaps supply the problem images, and the asset-converter command-line?

python gd2asset -f aqua.gd2 about.png accept.png accounts.png alarm.png appdrawer.png back.png brightnessauto.png brightnesshigh.png brightnesslow.png brightnessmedium.png calender.png cancel.png chat.png clock.png cloud.png datausage.png edit.png flashon.png forward.png help.png keyboard.png networkcell.png nexus.png reply.png sdstorage.png setting.png settings.png storage.png time.png undo.png wifi.png

then i copy the gd2 file on the sd card

setup:

GD.begin();
LOAD_ASSETS();
GD.swap();

for example:

void scrMenu()
{

GD.ClearColorRGB(GRAY);
GD.Clear();


GD.Begin(LINES);
GD.Vertex2ii(x0, y1 - 70);
GD.Vertex2ii(x1, y1 - 70);

GD.Tag(TAG_MENU_BACK);
GD.Begin(BITMAPS);

GD.BitmapHandle(UNDO_HANDLE);
GD.Vertex2ii((x1 / 2) - 32, y1 - 64, UNDO_HANDLE);
// X = 72 Y = 24


GD.BitmapHandle(WIFI_HANDLE);
GD.Vertex2ii(72, 24, WIFI_HANDLE);

GD.BitmapHandle(TIME_HANDLE);
GD.Vertex2ii(72 * 2 + 64, 24, TIME_HANDLE);

GD.Tag(TAG_MENU_TIME); // ##################### ACHTUNG TAG CaLENDER AUF TIME ZWECKS TEST ####################
GD.BitmapHandle(CALENDER_HANDLE);
GD.Vertex2ii(72 * 3 + 128, 24, CALENDER_HANDLE);

GD.BitmapHandle(CLOUD_HANDLE);
GD.Vertex2ii(72 , 112, CLOUD_HANDLE);

GD.BitmapHandle(FLASHON_HANDLE);
GD.Vertex2ii(72 * 2 + 64, 112, FLASHON_HANDLE);

GD.BitmapHandle(HELP_HANDLE);
GD.Vertex2ii(72 * 3 + 128, 112, HELP_HANDLE);

GD.swap();
}

some pics i can see some not

all pics are png 64x64 32 bit

OK, thanks for posting this.

The GD2 hardware supports only 15 bitmap handles. So this situation is overflowing the bitmap handles, and only the first 15 are being displayed.

I have just updated gd2asset to version 0.1.2:

• Reports error for more than 15 bitmap handles
• Reports error for more than 256KB used
• Supports multiple images per handle

To update do

easy_install -U gameduino2
With this version you can put multiple images in the same handle by separating them with a comma. So:

python gd2asset -f aqua.gd2,about.png,accept.png,accounts.png,alarm.png,appdrawer.png,back.png,brightnessauto.png,brightnesshigh.png,brightnesslow.png,brightnessmedium.png,calender.png,cancel.png,chat.png,clock.png,cloud.png,datausage.png,edit.png,flashon.png,forward.png,help.png,keyboard.png,networkcell.png,nexus.png,reply.png,sdstorage.png,setting.png,settings.png,storage.png,time.png,undo.png,wifi.png

puts everything in one bitmap handle (AQUA_HANDLE), and to draw the fourth image, "alarm", do:

GD.Vertex2ii(x, y, AQUA_HANDLE, 4);

Hy!



i startet the command as you said but it stops with an error



i changed the syntax from 

python gd2asset -f aqua.gd2,about.png,...


to

python gd2asset -f aqua.gd2 about.png,...

and it works with

GD.Vertex2ii(x, y, ABOUT_HANDLE, 4);


i created defines for all the images because i hate it to search image count it and load it
could you create a function to add defines in the header file for the images?

i mean:


GD.Vertex2ii(x, y, ABOUT_HANDLE, 4); to GD.Vertex2ii(x, y, ABOUT_HANDLE, #DEFINE_IMAGE_NUMMER);



sry for my bad english i´m from Austria :)

There's a tutorial on custom fonts on this thread:
