Mask tiel ColorCalculator

Recommended Posts

Hi,
I have written a tool which calculates the number of colors in each tile of your mask image.
It replicates how terrain builder would split the mask into tiles and checks each tile for issues.
After calculating the mask colors it shows you a map overview with the error tiles ( if there are errers).
When the mask contains error the tool will provide you with a fix mask function for example:
An example mask has 8 colour surface types within a certain tile, the tool then calculates the percentage of each surface colour and replaces the 3 lowest percentage colours with the most used percentage surface colour within the surrounding 10*10 pixels (result picture below).

| Changelog |
v0.1

v2.0
   - calculates the number of colors in each tile of the mask 
   - gui

Requirements:
- java  version 1.8.0_221* and higer (*tested with)
- it may not run on pcs with weak cpu due to multithreading calculation.

- it may need a lot RAM to calculate. (depence on mask size)


Special thanks to:
Pennyworth for helping me out with a lot of calculation stuff

Mondkalb for his documentation picture 😉


Known issus:

Installation loading issues => be patient it take up to 10 min
I cant select my mask.png image => mask image need to be an .bmp file.
Windows defender blocks exe => more information -> allow it anyways
Antivirus blocks => Make an exception
View is laggy => zoom in for less lagg
max Mask size => if your mask ist over 30k pixels you can split it into 4 segmenst and runn each individually. ( tiles in row and mask size need to be divied by  #segents in row)

Please give me feedback if the tool works for you and if there is anything to improve.
Feel free to contact me anytime for support 🙂

Are there any limitations on how large images it can handle?


I got a 65k pixel textures set up for my terrain in 4 pieces, can it load up multiple images and compare also the shared exdges? Or should a full 65k image be used?

I only tryed max 16k, but give it a try. it may exceed your ram

there is no multi images option yet but i will give it a try

Thanks! If you can get multi image us to work then I'll give a test run. I dont think i can spend time on compiling the images into full 65k right now.

Always been an issue with image size limitations. I have a 32k mask so being able to process that without having to down scale it first would be good otherwise looks like a real neat little tool mate

new Versin 4.0 released !
The tool can fix you mask now, you dont have to spend time to edit your mask to fit the 5 colors per tile anymore 🙂

After the fix is done, how can we save the fixed tiles, or mask bmp?

Hey, i tried this nice little tool, but encountered one thing:

 

I cant double click within the tiles to open the info box. Any ideas on that?

Hy. I used your tool many times and it worked great.

But now at Windows 11 it may not work.

It gets stuck on 100% loading: https://imgur.com/a/l5FqaOz

I added the colorcalculator folder and exe to the  windows defender exceptions.

Also tried as admin.

I use a 16k image bmp file.

My pc has 24GB ram and a ryzen 5 5600x with enough power: https://imgur.com/a/yh57ISs
