auto UV mapping python script -> speeds up level texturin

after i spent hours and hours with level texturing on the contest game, i decided that there had to be a better and faster way to texture. after hours of thinking i came up with this script:
http://68.7.28.252:8080/app/automap.blend
its not perfect, but it is a LOT faster than the old slow method i used. it works well for nonorganic levels. you just have to import the script to the file you need it in, hit alt-p, adjust the values and click the button. i included an object to try the script on just mess around with the values. the script only remaps the selected faces on the object. this is my first non-realtime script so it isnt perfect.

Plans for the future:
autodetect image resolution(this would make my script SUPER quick)
shrink the button sizes so the buttons take up less space

Ok, you know what I said when I tried this? I sat there, mouth agap, and simply gasped, “W O W!”

This is the best tool for blender I have EVER SEEEEEENNN!!!

Thank you so much liz, really! I’ll never be badd at uv mapping again:)

Great work lizard809!

This is very useful! This saves a LOT of time especially when you have complex levels!

It would be great if blender had this Automapping feature built in!

I get an error sayin:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “!automapper”, line 160, in bevent
File “!automapper”, line 15, in faceit
AttributeError: getData

Its probably cos im using the new ODE release :-? I’ll try it with 2.25 or 2.23 when I get home.

nice script…this could be useful seeing how blender 2.25’s “Cube” function doesnt work when u try to UV map, and when u try to open ur game with 2.23 and save, it screws up ur objects with the new logic bricks such as visiblity and game actuators…it crashes when u try to look at the logic bricks
