I'm having a trouble getting the 'make' command work. The documents say to "You may have to edit the Makefile to use CHDIR or the equivalent." Can someone possibly help me?

how can I fix the config on the code to match the layers so that i can generate a whole lot collection

this is the output of the layers.

Hi we created the gif but there is a blank frame every time the gif restarts. How can we fix this?

Uploading IMG_7871.MOV…

This is an issue because the preview gif uses the output from step2 which does not include the legendaries. We may have to solve this by using the already generated gifs themselves instead of recreating them from step2.

Hello! jalagar!
I'm back with a question.

Once again, thank you for making a good tool.

I want to make a lot of images and Json files with a small number of cases
Can we create an image with duplicate DNA?

thank you!

Hey there. In step3 where I'm converting the temp folder to gif using gifski, I'm seeing bad-coloured pixels on random frames of the exported gif like this (I'm also setting the quality to 100):

Or this

Step2 runs perfectly and the temp folder looks great. Here's my 8400*400 spreadsheet

Using MichaPipo's script.js to convert to gif doesn't seem to have this issue, but it is a bit slow and has some transparency issues.

Any ideas on what might be causing this 🙁 Or did I miss some configuration parameters for gifski.

Hi @jalagar
Thanks for your updating.
Can I use gif instead of pngs in layer?
Please tell me.
Thanks.

Hello! Jalagar and thank so much for such Amazing tool and thanks to all in the nft community.
I have probably a very dumb question.

My collection is almost finish by that I mean the code its been running for little over 40 Hours (yes I have an old machine) but I watched I video from hashlips about the minting dapp on polygon and I notice the metadata being little different..
So my question is if you or anyone know the metadata created after running this fork is compatible with Polygon? I'll be selling my collection/nfts on OpenSea, so I'm not using a minting dapp at all (I'll be minting all the nfts), but I just keep watching videos because I want my project to be bugs/errors free.

Now. my understanding is that ETH Metadata and Polygon Metadata are written in the exact same way, and that both should be 100% compatible with each other, but I can be wrong.

Also. Jalagar once I'm finish in the next couple of days I would love to air-drop one NFT to you, so can I send it to the same ETH address you have at the end of the "readme" section?? but again my NFTs would be deployed to the Polygon Blockchain so I'm really not sure. yes I know this are very dumb and basic questions but believe me or not I'm a little head-blocked right now.. I'm very anxious now that I'm getting to close to the deploy stage.

thanks again.

I don't understand, I tried the generator a couple of weeks ago and it worked perfectly, now, with the same settings, I gave it another try, and it only generates me a single .gif file and I get lots of messages saying "dna already exists".

I deleted the files, downloaded the zip again from git, nothing..
Any help? Thanks in advance

hey jalagar
after running make step3, I try to run cd ./step2_spritesheet_to_generative_sheet; npm run generate:solana , i tried yarn generate:solana too. but i keep getting errors.
reference pic:

In step2, it appears to be looking for a layer that doesn't exist Background. I have two layers: Animations and Card and step1 is working great. Thank you for this tool by the way!

python 3.10
node.js v16.14.2
windows 10
Choco & make is imported

I enter "make all" and 9009 error is displayed.
Help me. plz!

inputting either (node utils/removeTrait.js "Trait Name") or (node utils/provenance.js) creates an error code where the module is not found.

I used (node step2_spritesheet_to_generative_sheet/utils/removeTrait.js "Trait Name") to help direct the code; however the same error message came up.

Using (make provenance) created a similar error message.

I don't believe these issues are a problem with the engine but, something I may have missed.

Thanks in advance

Whenever I try to run : makestep 2 i get the following error

cd ./step2_spritesheet_to_generative_sheet; npm run generate
The system cannot find the path specified.
make: *** [Makefile:10: step2] Error 1

Im not sure what im supposed to be doing any help would be great!

Hello.
First of all, thank you very much for making useful tools.

After finishing all the steps, I generated the solana data, but the file name is generated incorrectly
If i change the start edition to a different number, the Solana data gets mixed up.

plz help me! thank you!

Hi again,

I don't know if there's a way to code what is in my head lol

But perhaps you noticed there's an "extra-attributes" feature in NFTchef repository, and with that we can add and customize "numbers" traits with the random.math function in many ways.

But is there a way to code a script (or an util script) which gives a specific number value for a given (layer) trait?

Could be great for gaming : rares/legendary NFTs with extra-power, or extra-speed for example!

I can't seem to figure out how to extract the util methods from the two subfolders and create a separate python folder on the global level. I have decided not to spend too much time here in order to get a MVP and given there are only two helper methods, but if someone whose good at Python knows how to do it without getting a "attempted relative import with no known parent package" that would be great! I'd want the file structure to look like:

• step1
  • build.py (imports from utils/file.py)
• step2
• step3
  • build.py (imports from utils/file.py)
• utils/file.py

Hello!

With the already classic NFTchef code, we can add handmade artwork with hand written json files (ultra-rare feature, not "grouping"), and then run the code to mix them with the normal collection. But this feature is not available here for now?

Your work is exactly what I had been looking for, thanks! would be great if you could add support/code for tezos metadata as well for sites like OBJKT ? There's very little out there for tezos compared to other networks, this would literally make this an overall solution for just about everything when it comes to generating gifs.. thanks again!

Step 2 : how to use only layerconfigurationgrouping?

I saw your update thank you very much, I am wondering in Step 2 how do I chose a layer configuration ? I wanna use only layerconfigurationgrouping without using layerconfigurationZIindex and layerconfigurationIFthen

Hey! Having some trouble shuffling my gifs when I have multiple configurations. I guess with the nftchef fork I would “shufflelayerconfigurations” but what seems to be happening is it is actually shuffling my batches. So I get one gif with multiple dnas in sequence. Any suggestions how to shuffle these batched gifs? Or if u know of a script that can shuffle gifs and jsons after the fact.

Hello!

This repository is really great, but I tried several things, and still unable to generate Metadata for Solana...

How can we reduce the size of the final GIF ? 😄

Is there a way to make the spritesheet longer than 32k without getting this error?
Error: invalid value (typically too big) for the size of the input (surface, pattern, etc.)

Right now they are hashing the image that is generated in step 2, not the gif at the end

Appreciate what you're creating here; I'm excited to use it. I do have a request tho as I would like to have the SOLANA metadata standard as an option!

hi can you help me
I've made all the gifs from after effects
and to unify it in your code is it possible?

npm install eror

how can stop gif repeat. need play just one time only

I don't understand, I tried the generator a couple of weeks ago and it worked perfectly, now, with the same settings, I gave it another try, and it only generates me a single .gif file and I get lots of messages saying "dna already exists".

Currently step3 is the slowest step of the process. It is also single threaded. However, I see no reason why this step cannot take advantage of multiprocessing to utilize the full performance of the CPU and build many GIFs simultaneously.

As a test, I tried to modify the code myself and was able to build 16 GIFs at a time with my 16 thread CPU. I'll share what I did here, however I am an incredibly novice "developer" (I hesitate to even call myself that) and no prior experience in Python.

Added the following to build.py

import multiprocessing

def generate_gif(filename: str):
    if filename.endswith(".png"):
        print(f"Converting spritesheet to gif for {filename}")
        crop_and_save(
            filename,
        )
        fps = 5
        convert_pngs_to_gif(filename, fps)


def generate_all_gifs(filename: str):
    with multiprocessing.Pool() as pool:
        pool.map(generate_gif, filename)

Note the "fps = 5". I could not figure out how to get the fps variable passed on through to generate_gif (like I said, novice). So I just stuck it in there like that until I can figure out the proper way to do it.

modified main to:

def main():
    print("Starting step 3: Converting sprite sheets to gifs")

    for folder in [output_gifs_directory, output_images_directory, temp_directory]:
        setup_directory(folder)

    generate_all_gifs(sorted(os.listdir(input_directory), key=sort_function))

Hello ! Thank you for all the code and explanations.

I already have my .gif ready, and I wonder if it is possible to only duplicate them and generate metadata for each, without doing the whole process. I tried to put them as my input layer but get various errors at phase 2.

Thank you in advance for your help.
