Re: JAVA programmer? (and Win-DomMap, and some GIMP)
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yes, I believe that is a flaw with Gimp - it actually needs to open its menu window, even when just doing batch-processing; so it needs an X display just to start. Terribly annoying.

Re: JAVA programmer? (and Win-DomMap, and some GIMP)
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Looks like you got it to work. And I thank you. Some of the GIMPers will be able to make use of it.

Unfortunately it still wont quite fill my needs because Im hard-headed and dont load GUIs on my servers. Everything I do with the maps so far uses no console display. WHen I run your new script I get much farther than before but I get this...
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
even though Im not asking for a displayed finish. I even deleted the display line out of the script completely and it gave me that error </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Have you tried using the -i switch? My gimp (Version 1.2.3) says it will not cause the program to use its graphical interface. I just tried, and it seems to work (it's possible that, even when not launching an interface, gimp still requires an X server or something like that, though).

Re: JAVA programmer? (and Win-DomMap, and some GIMP)
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yes, I looked at that now. Gimp still needs an X server for font rendering (even though we don't do any font rendering in this script.)

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Good shot. Sounded good but it didnt work. Rats, I thought we had it that time.

If I had more willpower I would reload Debian with all the GUI stuff and just force myself not to get addicted to it. But I know Id fail and lessen my abilities as a server admin.

Me, I like the result, and I'll probably add a switch to dommap to launch this script on the .tga... ugly kludge, but if the maps look better...

Re: JAVA programmer? (and Win-DomMap, and some GIMP)
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I'm working on a perl script right now to do batch production of maps processed with this script. I'll put it up somewhere when it's ready.

Re: JAVA programmer? (and Win-DomMap, and some GIMP)
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Okay, I'm finished with the perl script now. It basically lets you create a number of maps with dommap, prettifies them with the Gimp script, zips up the maps in individual zip-files, generates thumbnails and builds a (very basic) web-page where the maps can be downloaded from. (The web-page thing can be turned off)

The script can be found at http://home.Online.no/~rmoldskr/dominions.html and an example web-page with a handfull of generated maps on it can be found at http://home.Online.no/~rmoldskr/Domi...nion_maps.html

Magnificent

Re: JAVA programmer? (and Win-DomMap, and some GIMP)
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Wow, you are good. Sounds like what I have running (minus the gimp part) but you got there alot faster than I did. I will definetly take a look at it.

Re: JAVA programmer? (and Win-DomMap, and some GIMP)
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I came across something here http://gug.sunsite.dk/tutorials/tomcat17/ about using virtual frame-buffers to allow Gimp to do batch processing from a text console. As far as I understand, you'd have to install X Window on the machine to get the frame-buffer, but you wouldn't have to actually start X Window as such.

Would that help you?
