#There was this old mapping project on

It's actually supposed to use real item pictures for the preview but it was pulling from dead wiki links so I just hacked it to use block names instead. I don't think I have it in me to collect every single relevant item image from the wiki lol.

Rip, it's alrtight though

And I've finished my first round of updates to it https://rndmonkey.github.io/ck-web-tools/web/pixel-map.html
opal tundra
cool
Thankss, this will help in my pixel art endevours immensely
I'm pretty good but I need a visual tool to actualize things sometimes
opal tundra
Does the baseground matter if it's going to be covered up?
velvet zenith
No, tile on top is what counts
velvet zenith
there is also a GIMP palette in the About page. I find that it can help a lot when you want to be precise.
opal tundra
Alright
Does the Icon size feature do anything outside of seemingly zooming in and out
velvet zenith
nope, just there to better fit your screen
opal tundra
Alright cool
Yeah the imagine I'm working off has some gradiant
Of like
White
So I need to zoom in sometimes to see which block lmao
velvet zenith
at 64px the preview grid is nice and big, at least to my eye.
you can also mouse over the mapped image to click on the section you want to zoom in on
opal tundra
Yeah
64px sometimes cuts some of the edges off on my zoomed bit
So I use 64px for precisious and 32 for preview
velvet zenith
I was thinking about putting the images in a right pane so that the preview is in the middle pane by itself
opal tundra
Could work
velvet zenith
64px sometimes cuts some of the edges off on my zoomed bit
Hopefully I've fixed the image getting cutoff and other scroll/zoom wierdness with the switch to a 3-pane layout
opal tundra
I'll take a look
opal tundra
Hmm, would it be possible to have a zoom function? like if I click on a tile when at 32px instead of just zooming on the general imagine I can zoom in the specific tile and then click again to zoom out, fine if it's not possible but I think it'd help
Also fine if you just don't want to
Already pretty helpful so I won't complain
Oh a change happened now
It works perfectly now
Alright, well, back the grind
Thanks for all the help
opal tundra
Why there Beach Ground here lmao
If I remove Beach Ground from the tile set it turns to Galaxte floor
Just gonna assume it's a minor bug and ignore it
Cause I think Pastel Pink would stand out in what is supposed to be Greyish white
opal tundra
Woah, it's being wonky all of a sudden
velvet zenith
I didn't make any changes today, but what was it doing?
velvet zenith
that looks like a pretty high-res picture (relatively speaking, of course). I recommend downloading the GIMP palette, converting your image to use that palette, and you can zoom in and touch up the pic (and resize it, maybe 😉 ). Touching up the image in GIMP with the palette applied makes it a true WYSIWYG mapping, then you're essentially just using the web site it as a helpful navigation tool.
By the way, I updated it so that it always shows the currently selected chunk on the mapped image, and there are extra lines in the preview grid every 5 rows/columns to help keep better track of where you are.

Should the loaded image be cached so that refreshing the page doesn't clear it?
velvet zenith
added ability to cache the loaded image so in the future, refreshing the page doesn't clear it and make you re-choose it
