Re: Texture editing apps
If you're into pixel art, then maybe check Pixelorama. It's a dedicated sprite and texture editor with all the common pixel art editor functions - but free.
Re: Texture editing apps
i use Gimp, but only because i'm used to it.
it can be quite overwhelming, and not all features are usable on MT textures.
if there's a simpler program, specifically for low res textures, go for it.

Re: Texture editing apps
I use gimp and/or pixelorama.
Both are really good programs. Gimp is a lot more advanced in some tools, but it takes a lot of time and effort to learn, while Pixelorama is easier to use but not as advanced

Re: Texture editing apps
Talking about free software, you should consider LibreSprite, an Aseprite fork (which became proprietary in 2016). Developing is back again and we're killing it :D (I'm a maintainer)
We'll soon release 1.0, but in the meanwhile you can either download the previous version from the official site (https://libresprite.github.io/#!/downloads) or compile the current dev one if you know what you're doing (https://github.com/LibreSprite/LibreSprite)

Re: Texture editing apps
As soon as I see desktop software that needs JavaScript to run its website in order for me to download it, I immediately starting questioning the software. In this case particularly because it's a pixel art editor which I wouldn't have thought would have the kitchen-sink mentality.Zughy wrote: ↑Wed Sep 29, 2021 21:31Talking about free software, you should consider LibreSprite, an Aseprite fork (which became proprietary in 2016).

Thankfully website impressions don't matter for much. LibreSprite's indexed colour palette editor is way ahead of GIMP's. I like to use indexed colour because of the much smaller file sizes. Although in making foodblocks I actually drew the textures in full RGB space then reduced them to indexed colour with GIMP's RGB to index colour converter where you can set the number of colours.
Also is the LibreSprite UI font the long lost 'holy grail' of pixel fonts that people would want to use in Minetest?

Re: Texture editing apps
I can understand your aversion to unnecessary JavaScript but depending on your distribution/package manager (if you're on Linux) you won't have to visit a website to download LibreSprite. I downloaded my copy via the Arch User Repository for example.Blockhead wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 00:20As soon as I see desktop software that needs JavaScript to run its website in order for me to download itZughy wrote: ↑Wed Sep 29, 2021 21:31Talking about free software, you should consider LibreSprite, an Aseprite fork (which became proprietary in 2016).

But yeah, plus one for LibreSprite for me. I'm not very good at drawing, but using it to learn pixel art has been enjoyable and pain free.

Re: Texture editing apps
Oh yes I agree about using your package manager whenever you can. But the AUR is the exception rather than the rule when it comes to most distros I think. Certainly compared to Debian, there's a lot more packages. The caveat is the less stringent process to get something approved.freshreplicant wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 09:14I can understand your aversion to unnecessary JavaScript but depending on your distribution/package manager (if you're on Linux) you won't have to visit a website to download LibreSprite.

Re: Texture editing apps
I agree with you, right now it uses Angular, which is way overkill, and we've already talked about making it non-JS friendly as I myself block JS by default on every site, enabling it only if necessary

Re: Texture editing apps
Gimp, it is fairly easy to use, support alpha channel, opensource and free. The only downside is you have to manually work the texture through trial and error if you wanna guarantee it is tileable.

Re: Texture editing apps
False.
Under 'Windows' -> 'Dockable Dialogs' open 'Symmetry Painting'.
At the top of this window select Symmetry to 'Tilling'. And set the intervals to whatever resolution you want your tiles to be. (by default it is half of the current image size)
Now you just can start drawing.
Recommended but not necessary, to also set your grid to the same size.
Additionally keep in mind that symmetry doesn't work on copy, cut and paste actions. You can get around this somewhat by copying something which allows you to use the copied area as a pattern for you brush for which symmetry does work.

Re: Texture editing apps
I check pixelorama now and it is the best tool of all.
