Rave Ultima [WIP] (I'm bringing it back)

[Wan]

a quick, small tutorial on using it would be useful...

[sharksoda]

just look up python fu

[PatrickIIDX]

theres not even a download on the first webpage that google gives.

is it downloadable or do you have to do something with GIMP?

I haven't used GIMP too much as I've been using Paint Shop Pro for my stepmania theming.

[PatrickIIDX]

ok. so I copy+paste the script in the python shell. how do you determine the path the ttf file is in to generate it?

[sharksoda]

you don't need to copy+paste it into a python shell

it's got a gui

[PatrickIIDX]

this isn't too "new to it" friendly.

What Language is that script under?

From what I can guess, python.

[PatrickIIDX]

honestly it looks a bit like CSS.

[sharksoda]

.................................................. .................................

it's absolutely nothing like CSS

it's python and you seriously need to learn how to google things.

It's too hard to explain how to use it, shakesoda???

I tried running from the command line, and...

wan@WannyStation:~/Escritorio$ python smfontgen.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "smfontgen.py", line 7, in <module>
    from gimpfu import *
ImportError: No module named gimpfu

I have gimp-python installed. Stupidly enough, Ubuntu 7.01 installs Gimp 2.4.6 as the latest version.

[sharksoda]

use a newer distro or manually install gimp 2.6.x

Definitely not a good idea. LOTS of broken dependencies D:

I'll have to install Ubuntu 8.10 (since I hated 8.04) >.<

[PatrickIIDX]

yeah. i still need to replace my distro with ubuntu.

fedora is bullshit.

[sharksoda]

fedora is great if you know what you are doing

same can be said for any distro pretty much

[PatrickIIDX]

so which metrics file do you use? just the one for the preferred theme, or the ini files in the Fonts Folder?

edit: where do I put that script? anywhere?
