I need an infininite paint pallete

Can anyone help with this? I need to hack Scratch to make the paint pallete infinite. I have done it before but now I can't find the script! Please help.

Infinite in what sense? Please elaborate! Do you mean the pallet in the paint editor with several square of colour? Because you can click a little icon to the right of that to get a different pallet to appear with about 20,000 colours on it...

I think so it will be kept open or something... not sure though.


If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time  smile

I mean it will be infinite as in infinite room to draw, import sprites, etc. I know it's possible. I actually have done it.

Re: I need an infininite paint pallete

I see. That would be an infinite paint canvas then  tongue  A paint pallet is a collection of colours! In that case I have no idea. Panther has a customiseable paint canvas where you can choose the size of the canvas but after about 50,000 pixels squared the custome is just too big for the VM to handle. Also, what on earth would the fill effect do on an infinite pallet and how would you scroll! You sure this is possible?

You put in text and set it to largest font and type something. Exit the editor and then re-open it. Then fill in the space the text opened up and carry on until it is a good size.

Or just grab a sprite from a screenshot larger than the stage, and customize to your liking.

E.G. A screenshot of Scratch. I know - it works - you can make a draggable Scratch interface!

Re: I need an infininite paint pallete

another option is of course to import a very large image. A program such as GIMP allows you to set a canvas size in pixels which you can then export as an image and import directly into Scratch.

That resizes it.

open Panther

go to costumes

click import

choose your large image

it will be imported as larger than the stage.

export the sprite

import it into Scratch

done.

I tried that, and it didn't work. I'm talking 10,000x1500 in size.
