Some TVP 10 scripts don't work in TVP 11 Topic is solved

[Lukas]

I wrote a bunch of George scripts in TVPaint 10 that no longer work in TVPaint 11. Is there a list of changes that I can look into so I know where to start to fix them?

[Joost]

I always use Lukas' scripts. They work really well and they save me a lot of work.

However, a lot of them are broken now. So any help from the TVP team would be really helpful!

Thanks

[Thierry]

Can you post the scripts (or send them to me via PM if you don't want them to be available to the public), so I can check what's wrong?

Is there a list of changes that I can look into so I know where to start to fix them?

You can check the changelogs: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=9058
I don't think we changed a lot of commands in v11 updates, as we know that it might break already existing scripts, we mainly added new ones.

[Lukas]

Hi Thierry,
Nothing serious in the changelog that I can imagine is breaking the scripts. For some scripts I can imagine some tool settings have changed, but it might be something else.
Here's an example script that no longer works:

Code: Select all

Blendingmode[2] = "Behind"
Blendingmode[3] = "Erase"

Blendingmode[7] = "Hue"
Blendingmode[8] = "Add"
Blendingmode[9] = "Sub"
Blendingmode[10] = "Multiply"
Blendingmode[11] = "Screen"
Blendingmode[12] = "Replace"
Blendingmode[13] = "Copy"
Blendingmode[14] = "ReplaceSet"
Blendingmode[15] = "Difference"
Blendingmode[16] = "Divide"
Blendingmode[17] = "Overlay"
Blendingmode[18] = "Light2"
Blendingmode[19] = "Shade2"

#INCLUDE "Include.grg"

The scripts saves a layer's blending mode to the layer name, for example: A layer "Shadow" might become "Shadow_Multiply", so when someone works on the file without TVP Pro (our interns usually work on TVP 11 non-pro), that information doesn't get lost. And when someone with pro opens the file, the script sets the blending mode back to the original state.

Thanks for looking into it

[Thierry]

Thanks!
Can you send me the "include.grg" script that is referenced in your script?

Also, if you could post a screenshot of the error message you're getting it would be great

From what I've seen so far, it seems you're missing the two Blending Modes we've added in v11: Overlay2 (in v11.0.3), and Alpha Diff in (v11.0.9). This might affect the loop at line 78 (FOR i = 2 TO 27).

[Lukas]

Thanks!
Can you send me the "include.grg" script that is referenced in your script?

Oh, of course, I didn't realise it was being included:

Also, if you could post a screenshot of the error message you're getting it would be great

I am still on TVP 10, but according to Joost there is no error at all.

From what I've seen so far, it seems you're missing the two Blending Modes we've added in v11: Overlay2 (in v11.0.3), and Alpha Diff in (v11.0.9). This might affect the loop at line 78 (FOR i = 2 TO 27).

Oh nice, that makes sense. I'll include those and see if that fixes this script. Thanks!

The other button that Joost uses a lot is based on Svengali's FigureFill script (with some added pre-/post-actions) that no longer works: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5690&hilit=figure+fill&start=45

The other button that Joost uses a lot is based on Svengali's FigureFill script (with some added pre-/post-actions) that no longer works: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5690&hilit=figure+fill&start=45

Switching to TVPaint 11 should make the FigureFill script unnecessary . The function is built-in to TVPaint 11. Of course, the added pre-/post- actions may be what he still wants to use ?

Svengali's own advice regarding his FigureFill script:

Changes in TVPaint 11 have made FigureFill obsolete.

Instead, choose Filled-Stroke and make sure to check the box labeled FILL INSIDE. Then simply circle the shapes you want to have filled with the APen color. It's much easier to use and much more sophisticated a solution for individual shape filling.

Sven

[Lukas]

Thanks D.T. Nethery

The pre-/post- behaviour was simply putting a color layer below the current line-art layer with the same length etc and fill the line art on that new layer on all frames with 1 color with the 'above' function while excluding foreground items. If there's a way to do that with the new system, that's fine too!

Joost tried the new way, but mentioned it was more work and had worse results. Hopefully the results can simply be improved by adjusting the tool settings. Maybe he can share a screenshot of the issue.

[Joost]

This is one of the examples from the new tool. It sometimes draws outside of the line art. And some spaces are kept empty when I would like to have them filled.
With the previous tool from Lukas this never happened....

I will try to post more pictures about it.

This is an example from a gap within a drawing...(maybe it's not easy to see but its a pencil)

[Joost]

And some more. All in one simple drawing.

I tried to tweak the numbers from the tool a bit, but the result wasn't much better...

[Peter Wassink]

Hey Joost,
Those artifacts in your posts look like gap closer roundings, these usually appear in sharp corners.
Because you always have neatly closed shapes the Gap Closer value can be left at zero, which should minimize them.
Then the color Range can also be set pretty high because your lines are always nicely black.
And you could set an Expand on the fill, since you have quite thick lines you could safely set the expand to a value between 2 and 4.
Expand will result in the color filling
halfway under your lines, eliminating those little holes.

[D.T. Nethery]

I also wonder if instead of Fill Inside (filled stroke) adding fill colors using CTG method may suit your purposes better ? (in TVPaint 10 , you might know CTG as "LazyBrush") . CTG fills are fast and precise. (*UPDATE: see my post below responding to Svengali's new version of his FigFill script. Svengali's script is faster for filling a character with a single color. The reason I mentioned CTG for doing the color fills was because I saw that a few of your sample frames had more than one color. )

https://www.tvpaint.com/doc/tvp11/index ... l-concepts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDjQNvbgzmw



The downside of using CTG layers is if you need to share the file with people who do not have TVPaint 11 PRO (for example TVPaint 11 Standard or TVPaint 10 Pro/Standard) then CTG layers will be invisible to them if you share your .tvpp file with them. The workaround is to duplicate the project , convert all CTG layers to regular ANIM layers, then you can share it with someone using TVPaint 11 Standard or TVPaint 10 Pro or Standard and they will be able to see the color fill layers when they open the file.

This needs to be tested in 11.5, if someone has a few minutes. It seems to work for me in 11.0.10. 64bit.
Go to the line layer and press the New Fig Fill Button. The script is embedded.

NEW FIG FILL BUTTON
This New Fig Fill button is an update of the original FIG FILL button from years ago, but it specifically incorporates the adaption that Lukas posted back then. The updated features:
1. The color fill layer is automatically generated under the existing outline layer.
2. The color filled frames on the color layer are auto-generated beneath the Instances (head) frames of the line layer.
3. The entire color layer and frame-filling process (new fill layer and automatic instances with color) is immediately undo-able by pressing a single Ctrl-Z.

I have to say I was surprised anyone was still using this script from 2012, but I downloaded the Lukas version from the old thread to see what had been added, then updated the script to incorporate those tweaks in the new script I'm posting here.

This needs to be tested in 11.5, if someone has a few minutes.

The script works great in 11.5.1 ! The script works much faster for filling a character with a single color that using CTG as I had suggested in a previous post.
