Because the painting system of the NEKORATION module is more complicated and some settings options are not easy to understand, writing a simple tutorial here, roughly illustrate the use of painting functions.

I. Preparation in the early stage (can skip the creation mode)

Synthetic palette (can be used in the original wooden board)

Use the palette to pick up 6 colors at a time so that you can use it when painting

Synthetic blank painting (default 1x1)

Choose painting size

The interface of the size of the painting is similar to the size selection interface when inserting the table in the Word. Press the "E" key to switch back and forth between the grid of 6x6 and 18x18. After moving the mouse to the right position, click to be sure.It should be noted that the data of paintings with width or height of more than 6 grids cannot be stored in a single item, so if it is destroyed and falling into the form of items, the painting content inside will be lost.Regarding the data migration of such paintings, it will be detailed in the following.

II. Painting

After placing the painting on the wall, the size is fixed, and it cannot be modified (but it can also be indirectly implemented by the export/import method, see below).At this time, the handheld color panel right -click the painting to open the painting editor, as shown in the figure:

Painting editor

Most operations of the painting editor are similar to the mainstream drawing software (the middle key is moving, the rolling wheels, the left -click use tool, etc.), and won't go into details here.There are 4 types of tools, namely: pencils, brushes, rubber and paint barrels (area filling).The difference between a pencil and a brush is that the edges of the pencil are clearly transitioned, and the edges of the brush are transparent with a gradient, and the strokes are softer, as shown in the figure (the pencil on the left, the brush on the right).

The right side of the toolbar is the parameter adjustment box. When the cursor hovers above it, you can use the roller to adjust the parameters of the current tool.For pencils, brushes, and rubber, this parameter is the radius of the corresponding tool; for the paint barrel (area filling), this parameter is the threshold of the fill area color. Each parameter is opposed to each other and does not interfere with each other.The transparency of brushes can be adjusted at the right side of the editor.In the top control areas, the first one from the left is the shape button of the painting brush, which can be switched between the square and the circular;"The transparent part of the painting brush will be superimposed on the existing color on the canvas to form a mixed color effect; if you choose" covering transparency ", the translucent part of the painting brush will directly replace the color below instead of and not and and not and and not with and not and and not and and not and and not and and not and and not with and not and and not and and not harmoniouslyThe following colors are mixed together. This mode is generally not used. It can be used in handy only in some special cases.

III. Save/read painting

The text box in the control area at the top is the file input box, which is used to enter the name or relative path of the target file to be saved or read.If you do not create manually), after the input is completed, click the right button to save or read the image file.The name or path of the painting shall include the extension name (currently supports .png and .jpg). When the format to be saved/read was PNG, the extension name can be omitted.

Save painting

Save the paintings together with the canvas as an image.

Save painting content

Save the content on the painting into an image without containing the background canvas.This model can be used to easily transfer the content of the painting.

Read local image files

Load a picture in the .minecraft/Nekopain directory loaded to the canvas.A series of parameters can be added behind the file path, using half an angle greater than the number ">" separation (the space before and after the number will be filtered), which are: the target left offset (pixel number, integer, the same latter), shift on the target, and go to the target.Source image left offset, source image offset, scaling ratio (decimal), width limit and height limit (pixel number, all integer).Each parameter is arranged in order. If it is not specified, use the default value, but you cannot skip the previous parameters and give the parameters.For example, if three parameters are given, it will be treated as a left offset in order, shift on the target, and the source image left offset.If the image is loaded (incorrect or the file is not found), the path will become red.

Import paintings from network URL

In addition to importing from local files, cat decoration also supports imported images from some URL (HTTP or HTTPS protocols), and the format also supports PNG and JPG.The parameters after URL are the same as reading in this local image.If the URL (URL contains "?", Followed by a series of parameters) failed, you can try it out after removing the URL parameter. If it is not good, you can download it directly to the local method and then load according to the method mentioned in the previous method.

Take a few chestnuts

Suppose there is a PNG image called "NEKO.PNG" in the.Half of the size (0.5 times the length and width) read it to the canvas, and the upper left corner of the image coincides with the upper left corner of the canvas.For another example, enter "Neko.png> 10> 20> 50> 60> 1.0> 10> 20" in the box. Click to import to follow the original image from (50, 60) to (60, 80).The size is imported to the canvas (10, 20) (10, 20, 10, 20) as the top left of the import area), and so on.Another example, if you want to import the network picture, change the file path to URL, such as "https://www.misaka-cloud.net/image/5210502.png> 0> 0> 0> 0.5" (URLLLLIt is purely fiction, only for explanation).V. Copy/mobile painting

For paintings with length and width less than or equal to 6, you can directly destroy this painting in the survival mode, or use the mouse key to click this painting in the creation mode, you can get the paintings with the content of this painting.The content is the same as the original painting; for paintings with length or width than 6 square meters, if you want to copy or move, in addition to the method of saving reading mentioned in the previous section, you can also implement it by linking.There are two ways to obtain link paintings: first, hold blank painting, right -click on a painting placed on the wall to get a link painting pointing to the painting; second, in the creation mode, use the mouse key in the mouse keyClick the painting with a width or height of more than 6 grids, and you can also get a link to the painting.When the original painting is not damaged, the use of a link painting on the wall can be placed the same painting as the original painting.Please note that if the original painting is destroyed, the link to its link will fail.Therefore, if you want to move a painting to other positions, please first place the link to put down the link first, and then remove the original painting.

Vi. Special attention

Unlike other online picture display modules that simultaneously synchronize the URL between clients, this module first processes the image content on the client of the editing painting, and then distributes all the image data to all other customers to all other customers.end.In this way, if there are too many players who use paintings (especially large paintings), it may bring a lot of burden to the server. This is why the data with paintings with a length and width of less than 6 can be stored on it.Nevertheless, it is still recommended to minimize the use of paintings on large servers to reduce the amount of data that needs to be synchronized.
