Template Instructions

Blue Marble will display your template as the same size. If your image is 500 pixels tall and 300 pixels wide, the template will be 500 pixels tall and 300 pixels wide. Here is the instructions to display a template image on the canvas:

  1. Find the pixel of the top left corner. Fill in Tl X, Tl Y, Px X, and Px Y with the coordinates. You can use the "Pin" icon to auto-fill the coordinates after clicking the pixel.

  2. Upload a PNG or WEBP image.
  3. Click the "Enable" button.

Script Settings

There are many settings available for the Blue Marble userscript! Through these settings, you can control how the script behaves.

Template Settings

Transparent Pixels

Templates for Blue Marble work slightly different from normal. Since there is a "Transparent" color, and transparent pixels in templates are typically ignored, your template should have a custom color to signify "Transparent" colored pixels. If a specific pixel can be any color, it should be transparent in the template. If a specific pixel should be "Transparent" color, it should have the #deface hex color. Any #deface colored pixel in your template will be interpereted as the "Transparent" color. Any transparent colored pixel in your template will be interpereted as ignored.

Coordinates

Tile Coordinates

The coordinate system for wplace.live is unique. Instead of all pixels having a global coordinate number (x, y), the coordinate number is relative to the tile. This means you need to know the tile number and the coordinate number to do anything. In Blue Marble, the tile coordinates and the pixel coordinates are displayed when you click on a pixel. These are the coordinates you should use for aligning a template.

Template Coordinates

The template is aligned from the top left corner of the template. You can auto-fill this position using the "pin" icon next to the coordinate input boxes.
