Automatic 2x Art Resizer - Command line Node tool to watch for art changes and produce 2x resolution copies.

Like many artists on fan games, it's great to experiment with tilesets and characters graphics and quickly see what they'll look like in RPG Maker XP. Working with a 16x16 grid, it became dull to constantly resize the assets.

I wrote a quick and simple command line Node tool that watches a root folder and automatically produces copies of the art at the higher resolution each time you save.

Might be a bit niche but it's saved me loads of time and it hopefully saves...

"Hmm, that's an interesting idea. I wonder if you had to decode the image and then make a duplicate where everything-"

const Jimp = require('jimp');

"They really do have an npm package for everything, don't they?"

(Any plans to accept scale factors or even interpolation modes as optional command line parameters?)

They really do! Only recently started developing in Node but I'm already blown away at how almost every idea I've had has already been done.

(Any plans to accept scale factors or even interpolation modes as optional command line parameters?)

Great suggestion. I've updated both the GitHub project and the npm package to support this.

boonzeet updated Automatic 2x Art Resizer with a new update entry:

Support adding or removing suffix on save, command line flags

NB: to update, use npm update rmxp16to32 -g

This has been updated to support optionally adding or removing the suffix on save, and now uses flags instead of chained arguments. This allows for working on night tilesets (which previously did not work) and generally a better method of saving.

Examples

rmxp16to32 --mode sub --suffix _wip

This will look for files with the suffix _wip and save them without. e.g: interior1n_wip.png -> interior1n.png

rmxp16to32 --mode add...

Hey! This resource has been a lifesaver for my mapping!

However, I recently got a new computer & I tried to install this again using npm, but I got error messages.

I have both node and npm installed & confirmed it with node -v and npm -v
