My server doesnt like NPaintPro when i try to print to an actual cc printer. Any ideas on how to fix it? I've hooked it up with a wired modem and i tired the wireless but it keeps throwing errors.

This happens only when i try to print the first time but still i cant print to the cc printer before or after error...

Is there anyway to do something like hiding the color palette and menu bar? Im trying to make something like a bilboard and I don't know how to make it hide the controls.

I'm afraid not. NPaintPro is a painting tool rather than a image display, and I've not added the capacity to allow it to work as such. I recommend you create a new program using paintutils (or gameutils if you're working with animations) and draw the images wrapped to a monitor. This is safer and gives you more control over how the image appears.

I do not. I've not seen anything like this happen on a computer before and don't think it has to do with NPP (that or you're asking it to do a very strange operation). When you say CC printer do you mean a paper-and-ink printer? I don't see why that wouldn't be possible, but it's not going to print it colour- would just be a page of hexadecimal characters.

It's very hard to say but this may be a bug in computercraft- if so I'd recommend reporting it in the bugs section with a detailed description of how you caused it.

Hello , im a newbie and i need help , how do i load images created with npaintpro . . . ?
Before this , i was using this code :

bground = paintutils.loadImage(".background")
    paintutils.drawImage(bground,1,1)

now i made another background with npaintpro , with the same name ".background" . . . the question is how do i load the background i made using npaintpro . . . thank you.

If your new background image was made with npaintpro it will have the .nfp extention. So try the code below

bground = paintutils.loadImage(".background.nfp")
    paintutils.drawImage(bground,1,1)

I have just started using npaintpro myself, and was wondering if there is a way of printing an animation to a monitor in a similar way printing a normal picture as shown above.

[Zambonie]

Ive always had this suggestion. Transperant 'coating'.(I dont know if theres something else like this but,) This 'coating' allows you to have 2 pictures over each other. This is useful if you want to make A small pic apear over another full-screen menu pic representing something. Its bassicly making a invisible painting in some spots, so you dont have a white blob in your pic. This also saves time so you dont have to redo the whole pic with diffrent stuff on it over and over.(Like again,I dont know if theres a way to do this already.)

Are you saying this is a suggested feature for this program? Because what you're referring to, alpha channelling, already is a feature- has been since I released it...

gameutils allows you to draw animations and cycle through frames. First page of this post.

Animation doesn't work but great work anyway!

Brilliant program!

I just released an OS which has nPaintPro in it. It can be found here.

Are you trying to run it on a computer? You need a turtle to use that program.

Really nice program!
But how would I run an animation without NPaintPro?
Like if I wanted to make a movie theater and simply create/save an animation onto a floppy disk then have a program that automatically runs i.. How would I do that?

This must be the most commonly asked question I encounter...

I've before stated that I don't recommend NPaintPro as a movie development tool- it was designed very specifically to be for animated sprites that would act as components in games built using GameUtils. Play animation libraries are packaged within that suite, and a program to load in and play a looped animation on a blank canvas would probably be about a 10 line program.

But this has come up often enough to suggests there's demand for a tool that can actually be used to make, if not movies at least animated billboards in Minecract. I agree, this is a good idea, but I will say that, at least at present, NPaintPro is just not the tool for that job.

So I'm going to compromise. I'll update the executable in the next few days to include a 'hide' feature, so the interface can be hidden, allowing the program to be run on your machine or on a monitor with the animation you've developed playing constantly. That'll make a sufficient stop-gap for this problem.

And, in the meantime I'll start thinking up some way of making an actual movie development tool in Minecraft...

You can use Lightshot, which has a record .nfa movie function It creates an executable from a .nfa animation which you can just run. You'd need to redirect the term to a monitor though.

EDIT: Just realised that this feature is currently buggy (it doesn't show the last frame and the UI isn't clear at all) I'll have to fix it tonight when I get back from school.

Ok.. I think I'll try to make my own animation program in the meantime
