G-mask thread / gmask

This is ancient imageboard culture that all newfags need to know. Since 2012 it has been totally banned of 4chan and it is dying out. We need to revive it + it's super fun anyhow.

ITT: we have some fun and do some puzzles!

How to play:

1. Get GMASK from Archive.org (or google "Gmsk170E.exe"): web.archive.org/web/20170813072520/http://furumizo.net/tsu/gmaskd_e.htm or from here: files.catbox.moe/k614b9.rar

2. Find an image you want to share with us, this is an imageboard after all!

3. Make it into a puzzle like pic related

4. Post it for fun and despair!

————————————–

GMASK for Dummies:

1. Select the area to be scrambled/unscrambled by click and drag. In most cases you'll need to select the entire image at once.

2. Use the View->Whole Image option to fit big images into the program window.

3. Because GMASK selects 8x8 pixels at a time it's wise to resize your pics in multiples of 8 to avoid leaving unmasked rows and columns.

4. Don't change the default program settings or nobody will be able to unscramble your pic.

5. Don't use more than 4 actions or nobody will have the patience to unscramble your pic.

GMASK Defaults:

- 8x8 size for all, negative FL mask,

- Q0 first 3 checked only,

- RGB all checked and using R->G->B->R.

TUTORIALS

Save them and try and solve them in gmask!

...

...

looks neat

rip
just got a perma ban on 4chan for posting that image. I broke rule 10.

'tis a culture war, see? (((da​tamin​ing)))

I haven't seen those in ages.

I'll never get used to being this stupid

see

You've come close to finishing it!

close but like

ugh

ok I figured out why I can't get any further

i'm fucking up selections because I can no longer distinguish where something has been masked after a point

fuckk i just want to see some poon

...

...

See, this is the whole reason GMasks became a thing of the PAST:
Anons kept making Gmask threads with the same images and same masks as the previous thread. And the one before that. And the one before that.

Pasta.

It is nothing but spam.

And it kills what is otherwise enjoyable.

/inb4 "welcome to Holla Forums."

...

shit I fucking melted of cuteness…

that was fun

...

...

is this legal for mormons

holy shit that was fun
i thought it was gonna be zero suit samus

...

you missed a little but

disgustingly easy but keep them this simple ok c:

im stuck on the first one, came someone tell me where to start? (((da​tamin​ing)))

Select the pink square then FL.

thanks. these are fun once you know where to start.

You should make one

...

Oh man it's been a while since I've seen this shit. These were pretty fun.

enjoy. i think i overdid it so tell me if its impossible.

...

Nostalgic for the good old days huh? (((da​tamin​ing)))

Yeah I couldn't figure it out

I bet we could trick normalfags into looking at gore and beast with this shit.

That's the appeal of gmask. It's like Russian roulette. You don't know what picture you'll end up solving.

Did you use flips? (((da​tamin​ing))) Cause if you did you're a slimy bastard tbh.

For a moment I thought the censored genitals were masks.
On the flip side, do you think artists could get away with using a mask to censor their art? (((da​tamin​ing)))

That would be pretty underhanded. Normalfags don't deserve to go through that.

I think de-censoring is illegal in Japan.
iirc police busted some people using software to decensor JAV videos.

I used one vertical flip, look at the edges of the square

animefags out

This is as far as I got. You've overdone it. Can't see any patterns. The pros could do it but they won't care unless it's something worth it like hardcore porn or fantasy artwork.

If you want feedback, here it is: don't overdo. If you yourself couldn't solve it if you forgot the exact steps, you overdid it.

i'm sure we could find a use

...

DIE BLACK COCKROACH

lmao im 2 lazee some1 post resultz

as far as i can get the fuck you do

OC

Cum on step it up

very convincing face

jpg + win = loss
still should be able to do it and failing

Y'all need to stop using XOR if you want to preserve the image quality.
Everytime I solve a puzzle with it you end up with artifacts like and , although I haven't yet solved the last one.
Also, unless you're an oldfag pretty sure appeared in another thread at least a year ago.

new and improved. hopefully u still want to see her bunghole.

Posted that in the /gmask/ board a long time ago.

...

...

That's better. You learned lesson 1: how to use flips sensibly.
Now it's time for lesson 2: do not ever save as JPG if you used XOR at any step.
Also fyi there exists >>>/gmask/ but it's been dead for years.

>there exists >>>/gmask/ but it's been dead for years.

That doesn't stop anons from posting here.

Gmask will likely always be a Holla Forums thing. Stop creating boards for Holla Forums specific things! It just decentralizes the users who enjoy that content.

I guess you're proven right by how inactive the gmask board is.

No, people stopped participating in Gmask things for the same reason they have largely abandoned chans in general: too many people dedicated to shitting it up so that it becomes too difficult to have a good time by using the board/site as intended.
In the case of Gmasks, anons were posting the same shit over and over again, and other anons were posting all the fucked up XOR jpgs, and still other anons were posting trap/gore/anime bullshit. And of course the inevitable CP. 4chan eventually just did away with Gmask images entirely, but by that point nobody really cared anymore because it was played out anyway.
The only reason it caught on here as briefly as it did is because noobs have never seen it before. But you can see already that they are regressing into using it to shitpost and ruin it for everyone else. Granted, this is Holla Forums, and that is to be expected here, but that is exactly why you are wrong to say that Gmask will always be a Holla Forums thing. It won't.>>7793755

Epic oldfag elitist yet again. Why do they never contribute to the trhead and post an image? (((da​tamin​ing))) They're too common on 8gag

how did i fuck it up like this

fake and gay

nothing

There was a negative mask you needed to do. It goes over both the vertical FL and the big horizontal FL

bump. Sorry I have nothing to contribute yet.
I hate that it's 5 pages

...

post more

no 3d porn but have fun

very nice

I'm using loonix, is there a UNIX version of this program, or is the source code closed? (((da​tamin​ing))) Genuinely interested in this.

sourceforge.net/projects/lgmask/files/

Gonna repost some that the Japanese made on 2ch

>Epic oldfag elitist yet again. Why do they never contribute to the thread and post an image? (((da​tamin​ing)))
7793760 here. I STARTED this thread, you fuzznutted teenfag. So don't tell me I didn't fucking contribute. And if you being an immature ignorant young puppy who didn't lurk long enough makes me an elitist oldfag, then I am an elitist oldfag and proud of it.
Now fuck off back to the nursery, your milk is ready.

Thanks for sharing the link.
I made one, not too complicated.

Called it. Epic old fag elitist didn't post an image!
He even went as far to lie and say he made this thread. Disgusting, maybe you were talking about the last one? (((da​tamin​ing))) 8ch.net/b/res/7762874.html
Because I am the OP of this thread, just burdened with a dynamic IP. Begone thot.

Appears to do jack shit. That or it has esoteric CLI only syntax that it doesn't explain anywhere.

First try at making one.
Did I overdo it? (((da​tamin​ing)))

welcome
that's a pokeman. easy though

i always get these horizontal lines across the final image on the 5th image
second image has some different block size
first image idfk
have some pinups

Here's one more I definitely overdid.

Yeah same. I can't do the second because the selection seems to be fucked. The 5th too but if you do free select or shift + drag you can do it.

1st one might be a CP mask. I can't read Japanese.

just started 20 mins ago and it was ez
also memories

I get stuck on that one, after I make all three segments the same and FL the middle box it comes out wrong and fucks up the bigger FL.

These are nice.

Do a negative on the middle box not a FL
