FoOlTypesetter
Rather than announcing even more code (I won’t give much support with this!), I want to inform my team’s editors about the script for Photoshop I just wrote.
In the last days I wondered which language the scripts for Photoshop are coded in, and to both to my horror and happiness, it’s JavaScript (Not Java. Java is a completely different language).

What does it do? It’s not very magical right now: it grabs the script written in FoOlTransScript™, and cuts it into lotsa pieces. Then it puts them on top of the images. You can see an example of FoOlTransScript™ at the bottom of the page I linked.
Notice that our standard is wiki-compatible.
That’s pretty much everything. And, yes, it actually does half the typesetting job. Follow the readme in the link and you’ll be fine.
All the text is typeset in Anime Ace 2.0, Optical, 13px, #000000, center aligned. This is pretty much perfect for over 70% of the text we typeset at FoOls. If you want anything else before I add options to this, you should look after the first half of code. The font settings are there.
Remember to update it whenever you have to use it!
Team members can ask me concerning any script now (as long as it saves time).
OMG IT WORKS!!!
I found the Script has to be perfect, I used the “script to wiki converter” which almost worked:
>:[edit] Page 21:
>—-
>: Man: Your partner just had a business failure.
>: Man: The same as us.
I only had to edit all the page numbers and get rid of the space inbetween the “:” and the “Man:”
That can probably easily be fixed, or is there a better way to get the script other that the converter?
Can you make it so it uses the font settings you have selected when first running the script? Not a biggie.
Other than that, very nice Woxxy. I like!
It should work without the converter. It already does what the converter does.
Since i can’t register on forums because the stupid “yes”, “no” things keep saying i typed it wrong, i will post my question here.
Spice and Wolf chapter 22 is in what volume in american version?
How long will spice and wolf manga last for?
Spice and Wolf 22 is in the same volume in the American version as in the Japanese version, and that would be volume 4.
How long will it last? We can’t know that…
Until September 14, 2017 according to my calculations…
So if i want to buy spice and wolf chapter 23 i buy volume 5 which is coming out december 13,2011? Also, i saw it’s 10$ for about 23 pages wtf? I don’t get this system, i want to buy spice and wolf cause its been licensed and i don’t get this manga thing. Will someone explain it to me?
Chapter 23 is in volume 4 too.
4 goes up to chapter chapter 24 and then has a bonus track at the end.
If you’re in it for the story get the light novels. The english-released ones go beyond the story of the anime already.
So volume 5 will be chapter 24 – to what chapter?
So what your saying is volume 1-4 is chapter 1-24?
Works nice, with coordinates will be a good help for us
It’s probably not optimized yet but it might be faster if you move
“newTextLayer[j].textItem.contents = strings[key].text;” (line 112) after “newTextLayer[j].textItem.color = textColor;” (line 122)
It’s faster to choose font/size/position/etc when the text layer is empty than when it’s filled with text (especially if the text is big).
You’re right, I’ll get to it.
Write me a script to do cleans and redraws Woxxy. Typesetting is like 20% of my time as an editor, this saves me maybe 5% on that and requires a script format I will never get a translator to use consistently enough to make it worth my while in fixing fuckups.
Where’s that scanlator workflow stuff you were talking about? Foolslide already heavily rocks, help out the slave labor that produces the content plz…
The typesetter was just a test, I will include it in FoOlSlide with the translation and proofreading tool so it gets more automatized. It’s going to take up to the end of the month to roll out a new version of FoIlSlide with these features.
In my opinion, it’s not much about the time saved, as much as the stress one doesn’t have to undergo. It’s a pain to copy over the lines.
