Pixel Block size ?
Started January 30, 2011 by billy
I am trying to create a site with blocks bigger in size but less wide and tall. For example a block size of 100x100 pixels but only 10 blocks wide and 30 blocks deep. I have tried numerous ways to create this and its not functioning properly.Thanks

You would have to edit a grid, change the block size to 100x100 and the grid size to 10x30 and then create new images for the block states and Browse to them in the upload forms them. Then click Save Grid Settings at the bottom. You also may have to change the code in the display_stats.php to take the new grid size into account.
how do i go about creating new images for this? from scratch like with photoshop or something similar? and then save them in upload forms? or is there something already there for the image browse? just want a plain color block for each.
Actually the images are saved in the database when you upload them. It outputs them through PHP onto the screen wherever you have to use them.To create a new one in the /admin area go to Pixel Inventory + Manage Grids > New Grid... (green button).To edit a grid just click Edit under the Action column in the Manage Grids screen.The images are on this screen and you can right click them and save them as images.
Ok ive changed the block size to 100x150 and the grid to 10x30. created the new blocks for colors at 100x150. uploaded to upload_files/images folder and added them to the edit grid and everything seems to be ok. no errors on there. but the pages still arent showing up right they are small blocks and a butt load of them and not the big 100x150 blocks with not as many. And everytime i go back to the admin section to edit the grid another setting for the pixel block is showing an x instead of the image and it rotates to which ones arent showing. You can go to pixelgame.netai.net/prizes.htm (testing page) to view it. Trying to get this figured out to work properly and any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
