https://github.com/sircinnamon/runescape-text?tab=readme-ov-file I would simply like to make funny memes

[barren valley]

the readme section has the instructions given

[rotund cipher]

I am completely unaware of what any of it means

I have zero background in any of this unfortunately

[barren valley]

oh

do u see that big green button named "code"

[rotund cipher]

yes

[ember cairn]

you press the button

and then it says download ZIP

and you download that

[barren valley]

yep

[ember cairn]

and paste it where you need it

like in your project folder or something

OP are you on linux?

[rotund cipher]

I am on windows

[ember cairn]

if you are you could just git clone the project

oh never mind

anyways follow through the readme

and you should be good to go.

[barren valley]

also there is an alternative to use it as an import as well

import runescape_text as rst

img = rst.parse_string("wave:glow1:Hello World")
if(len(img)==1):
    rst.single_frame_save(img[0], file="out.png")
else:
    rst.multi_frame_save(img, file="out.gif")

[ember cairn]

holy moly your banner is uhm, really sus

[barren valley]

lol that was something

[ember cairn]

crazy right

[rotund cipher]

so I've downloaded everything, ran the .py stuff and copied that into python but it spits out this

[ember cairn]

did you try to just copy and paste all the lines at once

[rotund cipher]

just your average terminally online neet stuff :)

[rotund cipher]

yeah

[barren valley]

op do u have any ide?

like vscode or pycharm?

[ember cairn]

just open up a notepad window and paste the command geez

no need for ide

use gnu nano if you really want one

[barren valley]

yeah that will work as well but dont forget to save it as .py file

[rotund cipher]

wait so I can just open a notepad file, paste that stuff above, save it as .py and it's good?

or am I misinterpreting that

[ember cairn]

yes

But if you haven't downloaded the above mentioned package

then you will have certain problems.

you also need to place it inside the project folder

so python can find it

or just place it where all your packages are

like the site-packages folder for example

[ember cairn]

if you had linux, I would recommend using shebangs too

[rotund cipher]

what would the above mentioned be just for clarification, my apologies if this is annoying :<

[ember cairn]

THIS ONE

did you download it

[rotund cipher]

yep

[ember cairn]

by pressing on the green code button

yeah great

run the script

[rotund cipher]

setup?

[ember cairn]

No

your script

the program you wanted to write

is it not available on pip?

[rotund cipher]

what is pip

[ember cairn]

the default package manager for python

with that you can download such packages without pressing the green button every damn time,

did you run your program?

did it work?

[rotund cipher]

unfortunately not, gonna be honest I think I'm just gonna take this as a sign to go and try learn this stuff from scratch because I am so completely clueless about any of this

[ember cairn]

what error did you get

[rotund cipher]

they just open and immediately close

[ember cairn]

-_-

open a terminal

also the reason it closes automatically is because it has done everything you wanted it to do.

if you run it inside a terminal you can see the output it gives you

[rotund cipher]

this is a terminal right

[ember cairn]

nope nope

that

is python

go to the folder

in which your project is

and press open in terminal

[vale smelt]

👍

[ember cairn]

eh?

[vale smelt]

dw

[ember cairn]

never mind

[rotund cipher]

project being the thing I downloaded from github?

[ember cairn]

no

your file

the thing you wrote

gosh It is night time here

I am gonna sleep

@vale smelt please take over

night night

[vale smelt]

💀

have a good night

i will do it

anyway @rotund cipher

i don't even know your issue

[rotund cipher]

apologies for my incompetency and thank you for your time

[rotund cipher]

I just wanna use this to make a meme

[ember cairn]

💀

[rotund cipher]

but I know quite literally nothing about any of this

[ember cairn]

I forgor to turn off notifications.

[ember cairn]

is okay

once I was nooby like you

then I work hard

[vale smelt]

me too

[ember cairn]

then I get good

then I become nooby again

then I work more hard

then I get good again.

[vale smelt]

👍

i managed somehow to land on fedora 40 i3 wm

[ember cairn]

👀

fedora user spotted

anyways OP

[rotund cipher]

thank you and bless you for your patience with me <3

[ember cairn]

download the GitHub thingy

set it up

paste it in path

[vale smelt]

hihiha

[ember cairn]

Create a new file

import it

and get your meme

[vale smelt]

yes

[ember cairn]

simple gnome

[vale smelt]

ubuntu?

[vale smelt]

i see that

[ember cairn]

oh yes

[vale smelt]

i was on gnome 2 days ago

[ember cairn]

it's the best choice

[vale smelt]

yaru icon theme is pretty good

[ember cairn]

it's considerably more stable

than arch

which just breaks when trying to install gnome

[vale smelt]

frr

fedora gnome is a solid choice too, depends of preferences

anyway @rotund cipher

are you still here?

[rotund cipher]

I am yes

[vale smelt]

do you have the github file

[ember cairn]

goodnight folks

[vale smelt]

goodnight

🫡

[ember cairn]

sudo poweroff

[barren valley]

damn fedora user

[rotund cipher]

goodnight mate

[rotund cipher]

yes

[vale smelt]

did you extract the zip?

[rotund cipher]

yes

[vale smelt]

ok

go to the directory

you extracted

create a python file

[rotund cipher]

in here?

[vale smelt]

wait

yk what

don't create a file

go in runscape_text

[rotund cipher]

here

[vale smelt]

yea

right click anywhere where there is no files

wait

on windows 10

it's different$

sorry

go on the top bar

erase everything and type cmd

[rotund cipher]

top bar meaning?

[vale smelt]

where there is the directory path

of your file

[rotund cipher]

this?

[vale smelt]

Yes

[rotund cipher]

and do this?

[vale smelt]

yes

press enter

[vale smelt]

perfect

what do you want to generate?

[rotund cipher]

like the text?

[vale smelt]

idk, what do you want to make with this

explain me

[rotund cipher]

making this meme but instead of "plap" and "get pregnant" it's "F1" and "Get Votekicked", it's for the tf2 bot crisis and spreading awareness about using the kick feature to remove bots from lobbies by press f1 on votekicks

[barren valley]

python runescapetext.py wave:glow1:This will generate a convincing replica

try pasting this

[vale smelt]

it will probably work, just need to pip install dependencies if they are

@rotund cipher
python runescapetext.py wave:glow1:Text to replace

Replace the text to replace to your thing

[vale smelt]

💀

you didn't add python to your path

[barren valley]

lmao

[rotund cipher]

oops

how do I do that

[vale smelt]

i don't even have a vm to show you :/

[barren valley]

do u remember where ur python folder is?

[normal dagger]

try the "py" command instead of "python"

[rotund cipher]

no, should I just reinstall it and put it somewhere like documents?

[barren valley]

yeah that would be better but make sure to mark that checkbox which says add to path

[normal dagger]

no

[rotund cipher]

no dice

[normal dagger]

reinstalling is fine, or rerun the installer and modify it and make sure to add python ot PATH or "environment"

[vale smelt]

no need of it

you can add it manually

[normal dagger]

I do not recommend people modifying their path manually

[barren valley]

yeah but he doesnt remember where his folder is

[normal dagger]

there are many things that can go worong with that

[vale smelt]

windows, python, open folder

copy path

[vale smelt]

i did that many times

no it's actually fine

[rotund cipher]

is this it?

[normal dagger]

yes, you might know how to do that, I have seen people breaking their system here. just rerun the installer. Much easier

[vale smelt]

there are tutorials on youtube

[vale smelt]

re install it like sani said, idk why but he could be right

[normal dagger]

and there is a checkbox to check to fix it in the installer. that is so much easier.

[barren valley]

these are just shortcuts

[rotund cipher]

I am here now

[normal dagger]

check both checkboxes

[barren valley]

yup

[rotund cipher]

done

install now or custom?

[normal dagger]

and that's it

normal

[barren valley]

1st option

[normal dagger]

not custom

[rotund cipher]

done

before closing

is there anything else

[vale smelt]

nein

[normal dagger]

now if you restart all you cmd or powershell or whatever, python should be available

[vale smelt]

@rotund cipher and go back on the thing you were after

with the "cmd" on top bar

idk if you remember

(don't forget to restart the cmd)

[rotund cipher]

to restart do I just close it?

[barren valley]

yes

[vale smelt]

Yes

[rotund cipher]

I have other cmd windows open atm for network stuff, do I have to close those too?

[vale smelt]

i don't think

[barren valley]

no that doesnt have anything to do with python

[vale smelt]

just the one where you need python

[rotund cipher]

alrighty

back here

and just run the command from before?

[barren valley]

yes

[rotund cipher]

this?

[vale smelt]

yes

[barren valley]

yes

[rotund cipher]

;~;

[vale smelt]

python runescape_text.py wave:glow1:Text to replace

@rotund cipher sorry i forgot the underscore

try again

[rotund cipher]

all goods mate

different thing this time

[vale smelt]

pip install pillow

[vale smelt]

try again

to run it

[vale smelt]

.

[vale smelt]

python runescape_text.py wave:glow1:This will generate a convincing replica

try this one

example they provided

[rotund cipher]

exactly the same response I think

[vale smelt]

wait i comeback

[rotund cipher]

no worries, take your time

thank you for all your help

[vale smelt]

back

[rotund cipher]

welcome back

[vale smelt]

so

let me check the issue

ah mb

you need to setup it i guess

cd ..

pip install setuptools

python setup.py

[rotund cipher]

run them seperately in that order?

[vale smelt]

yes

on the same terminal

[rotund cipher]

correct?

[vale smelt]

yes

proceed to the next ones

[rotund cipher]

just to make sure, correct?

up to python setup.py now

[vale smelt]

yes

proceed

[rotund cipher]

how's this looking?

[vale smelt]

:/, idk what's the issue

the guy behind this didn't provide that much infos

wait

[rotund cipher]

unfortunate, I assume the only solution would be me reaching out to the guy

[vale smelt]

i found i think

[rotund cipher]

oh

[vale smelt]

cd runscape_text

[rotund cipher]

:< sadge

[vale smelt]

yk what , i download this project to check

[rotund cipher]

thank you for all the effort

[vale smelt]

after a little bit of investigation

the program is a little bit old

and one function changed by the time

[rotund cipher]

what does that mean?

[vale smelt]

i am patching the file

[rotund cipher]

woah

that's crazy

[vale smelt]

yea, the project you are using

is obsolete

i need to manually fix everything

[rotund cipher]

ah man, sorry for the trouble

[vale smelt]

too outdated

i recommend you to use another project

to do this

don't have enough time to review all the script

[rotund cipher]

absolute no problem man I understand, thank you so much for all the time you've given me

I really do appreciate it

[vale smelt]

np
