This is a little tutorial, not a question.

I just renamed my finished-first-text-to-image-plugin to advanced-text-to-image-plugin, because I wanted to add more features than "finished first" ordering. But I didn't want to completely break anything that used it or links to the old plugin.

I renamed the plugin.

Then I made a new generator, which has this in the Lists panel:

$output = {import:advanced-text-to-image-plugin}

...which covers importing from the old plugin name (I tested and it seems to work as expected).

For the plugin page itself, I did try using JS to forward the user on, but I couldn't change the top-level url. Clicking a link works properly but I can't trigger that with no associated user gesture for browser-security reasons. So I just can't automatically redirect.

So I added a simple message and link to the new place in the HTML panel.

Then I saved and renamed this new generator to the old name. 👍

I don't know if this is bad etiquette, but I'm not spamming and using up names or anything like that. I know there's probably no one using my little plugin anyway, but thought it would be good practise to cover my bases anyway. Hope that's cool...

\[top-down view, geometric shapes vibrant coloured, (grass green background:0.2)  :  : 0.2\]
\[ \[ : (city:1.3) : 0.2\] : : 0.6\]
\[ : anime, cyberpunk city : 0.6 \]
top-down

To explain, the first line uses the prompt top-down view, geometric shapes vibrant coloured, (grass green background:0.2) for the first 20% of steps. The general shapes/colours are established.

The second line, (city:1.3) is the prompt from 20% to 60% of steps. Transformed into a city based on those shapes.

The third line, anime, cyberpunk city is the prompt from 60% to the end. A layer of style added on top.

Outside any of that, the last line top-down is always tagged onto the end to try to keep the view stable.

Edit: Note, after saving and loading, tabs work correctly? Maybe? If you start a new generator, you can see the problem happening. Remember to copy an actual tab character from someplace.

In the above editor, the HTML panel has tab characters in it. They behave as expected, apart from when they are at the start of a line--then they just take up no width at all. What's expected is, they move the next character to the next available tab slot, like in other code editors.

In the List editor, the tabs are always converted into two-space groups. Which is interesting, seeing as how they're all converted to tabs again by the engine before processing.

Set saveTitle when saving

Currently it's set before it's even generated, when most of the time you don't know what it's even going to look like. Thought it would be useful to be able to optionally put a name into a textbox by the gallery save button so you can give it a title after you know what the image is.

Option to disable gallery-saving

If you're not using a gallery anyway, may as well not allow users to save to the gallery no one will ever see. If the user is expecting it to save away to a gallery and to be able to get that image back by browsing the gallery (even their own privately-named gallery)... it'll be a bummer when they realise they can't.

Also, saves space on the server, not having all those images stored that no one will ever see.

If the setting is not set, in theory, may be able to detect if the generator has a gallery showing on the page, and only then allow the user to save to the gallery? That could retroactively work for existing image generators that do and do not have galleries.

I don't know if you're interested in plugins here, but... here's a plugin I made: https://perchance.org/finished-first-text-to-image-plugin

Uses the regular image generator plugin, but adds 2 features: re-ordering finished generations so they appear to complete "in order". This is something I've thought about for a while when using existing image generators on Perchance. This way, there's no need to scroll back and forth looking for completed images; they all just jump the queue to show themselves.

And a count argument to easily generate many images at once. This is a very common feature image generators use on Perchance, but more code (and therefore understanding of code) is needed to make that work. This just simplifies it a touch, is all.

As seen here: screen capture.

Seems when they load, all buttons are shown regardless of if the user is hovering over them or not. Then when hovering, they're shown of course. Then moving the mouse away hides the buttons and it all works as normal. Seems unintended that it thinks the user is hovering onload when they're not. Not sure why that's happening.

(Also I don't think it was happening until very recently. So possibly a breaking change.)

As seen here.

After document.body.innerHTML = "test"; can't access #perchance-error-indicator because it no longer exists. This is a silent error, not shown in the preview window. Presumably because #perchance-error-indicator no longer exists.

After document.getElementById("output-container").innerHTML = "test2"; errors trying to replace this script tag with another one or something?

I can see why these problems come up. But some checks and workarounds should be possible for these eventualities at least.

Instead of the url. There's a lot of dfg7dfg97dfg "names" of links on that page, which is pretty useless.

On the $meta front, it seems when a copy of a generator is made it has the same $meta.title, .description, etc. Which I guess is the most straightforward way. Would be cool if the description was edited with (copy of perchance.org/...) at the start, something like that? As a small way to credit who originally made it, but more usefully so people know who are browsing the generators page that it could well just be someone messing about with changing/adding things to try it out, and not a real "full" generator that's been made with care and ready for release. (In lieu of "private" not being the default.)

"1 guy" doesn't do it. "one girl" doesn't do it.
