Hmmmm...
I'll have to check later but I believe it aligns the grid to 0,0 so if the source respects that it should line up. (I.E. If using 20px as the grid setting, have the template start line up to a multiple of 20 in both the X and Y directions. (Though exposing the grid offset as parameters would be trivial...)

I thought I was aligned with the grid provided by the Gimp (drawn almost entirely with snap to grid enable) but it's more than possible I screwed something up.
I do notice that the examples that other people have used don't seem to have the problem I'm having which means it's more than likely it's my fault.
I can probably adjust that myself, I should probably dig through the script itself anyway for learning purposes.
Edit: Oh crap! Nevermind. I just realized why it's happening.. more importantly why it's *suddenly* happening when I dont' remember noticing it before:
I drew my alpha (is that the right term) by snapping to grid, but on a really huge image so I was sure not to run out of room. Then I cut the actual image out, without paying attention to the grid, and pasted into a new image. So yep.. my fault :p

Unzip the file into your gimpxx/scripts folder. This is typically somewhere in your user directory. On Vista for me, this is under C:\Users\Joe Frazier Jr\.gimp-2.6\scripts. On WinXP, change Users to Documents and Settings and of course, change your username and the gimp version you have installed.

ok I'm just wondering if there is a tutorial also for using the scripts and stuff. I think this is awesome, but I'm new to gimp.
Hello RobA,
Am ready now to experiment with your Gimp script for making dungeons, and am having problems getting the box to display on my screen. The box seems to be larger than my screen. I can change the with, but not the height. Is there a way to shrink the box size?
Thanks!

Sorry, no. Script-fu limits the dialog box options. I could create a second menu that provides a basic version with less options, if you would be interested in that.

I was worried about how to use it, but it turns out its really easy. Once you have placed the file in the directory, then just draw the black and white layout then open the filters menu and at the bottom should be an option for the map prettier script, select this and you get various options, for the first time round leave them at default and hit ok.
