Tech-Style Background Scriptsby ~fence-post

Resources & Stock Images / Application Resources / GIMP Scripts & Plugins

EDIT October 9, 2008: Script has been updated to work in GIMP 2.6 (the newest stable version). It should also work in GIMP 2.4. If you have a previous version of this script, please delete it to avoid conflicts.

Let me know if you run into any trouble with the script.

This script will make a "tech-style" background using the steps described in the tutorial here: [link]

Click on the Download link to get the script (a text file) for GIMP 2.4 and save it to your GIMP scripts folder (ie....C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.X\share\gimp\2.0\scripts) and then go to Filters > Script-Fu > Refresh Scripts.

This script will NOT work in GIMP 2.2. You can find that one here: [link]

On an open image, just go to Filters > Render > Tech Background... and a window will appear allowing you to choose the Background Color and Block Size.

Enjoy!

Let me know if you have any trouble or suggestions for improvement.

thanks for the update!
just a question: will all custom scripts stop working on GIMP 2.6?

~fence-post Oct 10, 2008

You're welcome! The answer to your question is: maybe.....maybe not!

It all depends on how the variables were defined in the let* block of the script. You used to be able to just define a variable in the let* block without actually giving it a value (it was a null value....a placeholder, if you will). Then, when it came time to use use it in the script, you could assign it a value. GIMP now requires all variables to be assigned a value. And, if you're not sure what value to give it, you can set it to 0 (zero). It's a pretty simple change, really. If you run into any snags with your scripts and you're not sure what to change, let me know and I'll help you out.

thanks for the info...
i checked ALL my custom scripts [a lot, believe me], and i realised i actually never use the most of them, and that most of them werent working anymore...
so asked google to find me the scripts i needed, and i found them...
but[!]: they are in chinese

and i cant speak chinese

so i opened the scripts files, changes the menu options [using the old scripts as reference >> works properly]
but after restarting the gimp, they wont show up anymore!
i noticed they included this as menu location: "<Toolbox>/Xtns/Extra Logos", but even when i change that to "<Image>/Filters/Extra Logos" they wont show up...
can you tell me what is wrong? maybe it is also better to continue via Notes, or this deviation could get too full of comments XD
