GIMP plugin to embed text to side bar icons in C&C mods

Installation

  • First, you have to determine where your GIMP plugin should be placed.
  • To do that, open GIMP.
  • Filters --> Python-Fu --> Console
  • Type the following command without quotes: "print(gimp.directory)"
  • You'll see something like this:
    • C:\Users\user\.gimp-2.8
    • /home/user/.config/GIMP-2.10
  • We will call this $GIMP_HOME
  • Place cameo.py in $GIMP_HOME/plug-ins folder, which should be already there.
  • Copy (or soft link) cameo_font data into $GIMP_HOME so that the plugin can find $GIMP_HOME/cameo_font/ra1/a.png, b.png, ...
  • Restart GIMP, if you haven't closed it already.

How to use

  • Demo: https://youtu.be/IHOe-uCPbh8
  • You'll see the following new menu:
  • Filters --> Python-Fu --> RA1 Cameo Text
  • Click on it, type your cameo text and that's it.
  • It creates two new layers, one is half-transparent background for the text and the other is the cameo text. You can move or delete them to fit your need.
  • This script can be adapted to do other games, too. You need to copy the script, make alphabets in PNG format like the ones cameo_font/ra1,ra2 (with alpha channel as transparency), then modify LETTER_WIDTH variable in the script.
