Half Tile Offset
February 24, 2010 - 07:51 — ultrano
Offsets all layers by half. Image/Half_Tile_Offset Useful when creating a tilable texture. Just press Alt+I,O and you can start editing the image-edge seams.
A workflow-friendly fast alternative to going around every layer and selecting Layer/Transform/Offset... / Offset by x2,y2 / OK
Usage:
Let's say we have this 256x256 crop:
After the Image/Half-Tile-Offset command, we get this:
There was no UI to get in the way of workflow, and you can switch around offsets at any time. (Creating tiled textures requres such switching back-and-forth)
After some quick edits for 2 minutes with the clone-stamp tool, we have this image:
To see how nicely it tiles, Filter/Map/Tile.../512/512/OK :
Enjoy :)

Unbound Variable
Execution error for 'Half Tile Offset':
Error: set!: unbound variable: theImage (in GIMP 2.6.8)
Yes, I immediately met that
Yes, I immediately met that problem when using it in 2.6.x instead of 2.2.4 . I tried a bunch of guides, fixed the runtime errors- but stumbled on something that looks like a bug: the layers didn't shift at all; the undo/redo history showed no changes were made, either.
I went back to fixing it several times, but ultimately gave-up.
I'd like someone to help me fix it, for users who unlike me don't hate 2.6.x .
Awesome!
I found myself actually shifting three layers the other day. I flattened them all together before shifting them back rather than have to shift all three. This is awesome. Thanks!
excellent
Both the script and the explanation are excellent. I wish all script writers would use pictures to explain their scripts.
