Issue in Step2?

[RageQuitnft]

Hey @jalagar ,

I can't thank you enough for your help and kind reply. I used your folders and layers to test the process and it seems that I ran in some kind of issue. Again, I never coded in my life, this is all foreign to me :)

Here is the issue (I think):

Thanks so much!

[jalagar]

Hi @RageQuitnft you're welcome! what format are the files in the layers folder? Can you screenshot me the layers folder?

[RageQuitnft]

I used your original folders with the ball as a test. Attached is a screenshot.

Thanks!!

!

[jalagar]

What happens when you run make first_time_setup?

[RageQuitnft]

This is what I get. I also updated pip:

Ok that looks all correct but running make all still gives you the error?

[RageQuitnft]

Unfortunately yes... This is what I keep getting:

Try the following commands:

cd step2_spritesheet_to_generative_sheet
rm -rf node_modules/ (if this command doesn't work run sudo rm -rf node_modules/)
npm i
cd ..

Then try run
make step2 to only run the second step

[RageQuitnft]

Hey, when I run "sudo rm -rf node_modules/" it's asking me for a password?

[RageQuitnft]

Alright, it's not working. I also tried on my PC (i was on mac). Thanks for all your help anyway and good luck!

[jalagar]

Darn I really want to get this to work! Let me know if you want to spend more time to debug

[RageQuitnft]

I mean, I would love to. But I don't want to take too much of your time :) I feel kinda bad. But if you want to give it another go, I'm in!

I don't know if this helps, but I also can't run the OG Hashlips program on my mac (only on windows). I get this error from Hashlips, which seems similar to the one from your program?

[jalagar]

No worries! I just made this program and want to iron out any bugs, and I'll respond when I can :). Google says that error means the node library is pulling from a Windows version of the library instead of a Mac one, but running npm i should override those and use the Mac version of those libraries.

I suspect it has something with how you install node in the first place, maybe you installed the windows version of node instead of the mac one. I might try look at https://nodejs.org/en/download/ and see if you can re-install it.

My program should work on Windows as well, I had someone successfully run it on Windows. What error are you getting on Windows? I can maybe try help there

[RageQuitnft]

This is what I got on Windows. Not sure if I did that right, but I installed something called chocolatey to be able to run the make command. Something like that. Also installed Python 3.10 as I was getting erros that python was not installed (although I had version 3.9 something installed):

[RageQuitnft]

IT WORKED!!! I figured it out! At least for mac, thats enough for me! So apparently, because I'm running on a M1 mac, the node.js version that must be used is 14.18.2. All other version I've tried did not work.
Thanks again, I'm so pumped! This is gonna be amazing! When my NFT project releases and becomes super successful, you'll be getting a free airdrop :)

[jalagar]

Hooray great! I had already updated the README with these instructions but will make it clearer and call out M1 (I just learned recently ARM = M1). Good thing we have this discussion now for new people to use!

[jalagar]

Also feel free to follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/jalagar_eth where I'll post updates on the project as well as other projects I'm working on!

[reesepushkin]

true fix right here, if you want to run Jalagar Animated Art Engine on a new M1 Mac you need specifically node.js 14.18.2

[kbusqueta]

Hi Jalagar, Thank you for your tool ! I'm blocked too during the step2. I tried to make the same things than RageQuitnft and your issues but it still not working. This is the message I have :

Do you know where is my problem ? (I'm a begginer) 😄

[jalagar]

I'm getting confused lol did you try brew install gifski with an i? Try

git -C $(brew --repository homebrew/core) checkout master
brew install gifski

Also try brew search gifski

[kbusqueta]

Ahaha OK I'm downloading a lot of things !
It's seems to work 😄

[jalagar]

Let me know if the size is smaller after installing gifski and running make all :). Yea gifski is a large 300 MB package but that is why it is better and gifs come out way cleaner. I will post some before and after pics on my Twitter https://twitter.com/jalagar_eth after we release our teasers (its way noticeably different)

[kbusqueta]

It works ! 680ko with 100 quality and only 106ko with 50 quality without a big difference 😄
Thanks a lot @jalagar ! I keep you in touch if I have another problem ;)

[jalagar]

That's great! Glad it worked

[Nachi4265]

Hey I'm also experiencing an issue with step2

This is the error that I get. Ive been at this for a week straight ... any help would be amazing ..

[jalagar]

Hi @Nachi4265 really sorry you have been facing this issue over and over again! Have you tried running the command separately
cd step2_spritesheet_to_generative_sheet then npm i then cd .. to exit out of the folder? I believe on Windows the cd line is what is causing issues

[masterjson]

Hi jalagar. I'm also experiencing an issue with step2

This happens when I set the numberofframes to 72 from global config

[masterjson]

Thank you for your hardwork. I suggest if you can use the imagemagick lib to the main engine using this code

for gif in *.gif; do
for character in .png; do
convert "$gif"
-coalesce
-gravity NorthEast
-draw "image over 0,0 0,0 "$character""
-layers Optimize
output/"${character%.png}-${gif#/}"
done
done

This will impose png to gif.

[jalagar]

Hi @masterjson so the issue is not with step3 (png -> gif), its the generative part.

HOWEVER I just implemented batching which will solve your problem! See https://github.com/jalagar/Generative_Gif_Engine#batching, I just merged it a minute ago. Now you can have as many frames as you want. Just edit useBatches to true and numFramesPerBatch to some reasonable number (maybe in your case 24 or 36) then run make all_batch. Please let me know if you see any bugs, its fresh out the oven!

[jalagar]

If you enjoyed the tool I would love the support on my Twitter (I go into how batching works here https://twitter.com/jalagar_eth/status/1520845735092178945), and on my main project https://twitter.com/FitFriends_NFT

[masterjson]

Hi jalagar thanks it worked!!

Is it possible that the engine can auto-colorer the sprite sheets? For example: the character "A" will be generated with 4 animated background, so same character will be regenerated in 5 different colors and with 4 differents backgrounds = 5 x 4 = 20 differents characters with one base character in 5 different colors with 4 animated backgrounds

[jalagar]

Hi @masterjson at the moment no plans for that, it seems really hard to solve haha but I really like the idea. But haven't had too many use cases for it given most people have more complicated backgrounds and can't just sub in and out colors
