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.

Disgusting, reported for cute anime sketches.

...

I can't get the hang of it

Save these images and do them in Gmask

That was hard…and now so am I.

niiiiiice

spent a while on your mask and it was literal dog shit m8

epic trole 2012

sweetie if it upsets you so much just don't participate!

DELETE THIS
i hope you fuckers get permanently banned from this site you sick fucks, kill yourself

I can't figure out this shit for the life of me. I've got all of the pixelated stuff down to one color but I can't go any further than that.

save these and practice

finally fucking got it Not bad stuff

Try making one yourself, but not too hard tho

I made a very small one

Tell me if you're able to finish this one!

Yeah, I can't figure any of this shit out.

wheres the OSS version?

ganbatte!

...

He's new!

Why do some images not let me select the entire thing?

select them from the other corner.
If your talking about then that is because it's not even a gmask

Yes it is a gmask, I know because I made it.
Check the thread, some have solved it.
It is hard, to be sure, but it is a gmask.

Same shit happens then. It leaves out a tiny bit.

GMask selects 8x8 pixel blocks at a time, depending which corner you start selection from. When the image poster is a total faggot and doesn't resize his image to multiples of 8, there will be leftover columns and rows of pixels. This is normal. Use the arrow buttons on the toolbar to adjust the selection window one pixel at a time, if you need to.


Post the solution then. The way I see it you're full of shit. It's not a valid gmask or you gave us the shrunken file.

That just moves the selection, thus still not selecting the entire image.

somehow i solve this one. cool

Well there is your problem, right there.
And no, I am not going to post the solution, for reasons which should be obvious if you paid a little bit of attention.

Yeah the reason being you're a troll and a bullshitter. It's not a valid gmask image. Or you posted the resized version and are too stupid to realize it. You needn't even post the solved image, just the steps, but you won't, because there are none.

To others, my apologies for not contributing images but I hope to be forgiven if I tell you I'm the original-OP (Mangusta helicopter puzzle).

Can someone help me solve some of this? I dont even know where to start and how to know when im doing right or not

I can solve it fine, user.
There are a couple places where you have to meko 25 times or so, which is kind of a dick move, but it is doable. And no, he won't post the solution or the image because the solution is too long and complex and he probably didn't even write it down, and the image is…well…questionable.

As far as apologizing goes, you are apologizing for the wrong thing. Nobody cares if anons don't contribute…as long as they don't bitch about what is contributed. What you claim to have done is irrelevant as you are a sagefag and therefore irrational. You probably think you crossed the Delaware with Napolean as well.

If you are attempting to voluntarily look at an anime image, you are already doing it wrong. Gmask is for 3D.

I should add that while it does look like it is a resized image, it isn't. You do have to be extremely careful about your selection though, as it is a very complicated puzzle and will get screwed up beyond functionality really quickly if you don't make an accurate selection at the beginning.

Attaching proof…here is a screencap of it I made while I was solving it, close to the end.

...

How does a smoothbrain like myself begin to decypher these? They look cool

Gmask is for any image you want to share.
Go away 3dpd shitter

And why was this deleted?

My fucking God.
Ban the cunt.

Why? Puzzles come in all difficulty levels. Why ban the ones that are too hard for you? Are you special?

that is why we hide all sagefag posts, user

see here you mongoloid.
Go make your own thread shitter

That is an opinion, you retard. There are no "rules" for Gmasking. And obviously several anons did have the patience to do it, judging by the posts. So who is the real mongoloid here?

The one who mekos 25+ times. Either make your own thread.
Fuck off
Let me make a thread for you to fuck off to

Pick 1

Those tears though…

I know you…you are the "Stop liking what I don't like" guy.
You suck.

On a board as dead as this, that is not very long. They will be back.

Pretty certain he's a troll whose samefagging replies. And even if there is a picture, it won't be worth much considering >>7804038's reply (first pics a troll)

this is the first time I've ever done this
was actually pretty fun, thanks for making it

why
was
this
deleted
?

...

it was too easy

That is no reason to delete it.
Use your ## board volunteer please

Come on fellas, let's make this active. I can make some more masks. This one I made last thread.

Took me a while but I did it. I think I'm getting better at this.
Pic related is a new one I made.

...

...

you should try these ones they're pretty tricky

bump

...

I thin thats kinda ok

How nice, I await all that CP flood.

...

Do you hawe some more guids? I learn basic ways how to solve this puzzles but allmoust all time just dont realy sure what i doing and hope for the best,

CLICK IT, YOU DUMB SON OF A BITCH!

...

no

Here's one that's a bit harder.

No!

Ok i can solve it to the point where i can see image, but this siparls are all over it. At this point i hawe no idea what to do. Help me pls

ez shut bruh

It's about recognizing patterns.
FL is a spiral
Random blocks where some are negative is a meko.
What ones are you having trouble with? I can make a webm if you want.

Actualy, almoust ewery image but if you help me with this 2 it would be great,

All right, Gimme a few mins

...

...

...

No clue where to start on this one

Start with the ends of the arms.
Be careful with your selections throughout!

I couldn't get anywhere with it.

Post the exact steps pls

Thx you buddy, its realy kind of you.I appreciate it

I wonder how many of these are CP

I will not be part of your botnet Microshit

rather amazingly none as far as I can tell

is there really no open source version of this?

Not yet, apparently. Why are you so bothered by this anyway? If you use Linux you can probably get it to run with Wine.

Also if you want to make a FLOSS version you'll need to find out how the mask algorithms are specified. This is a Big In Japan thing, so good luck if you can't read japanese because fuck knows how Meko and Win are defined.

Nor will there be, as Gmask fell from popularity 10 years ago.

DOS also died over 30 years ago, yet we still have FreeDOS, DOSBox and low-level utilities for DOS (shame on you if you never used Ultimate Boot CD in your life).

What I'm saying is, if enough newfags demand it, someone will do it eventually.

I should have said 20 but you get my point.

you did waaaay more than 4 actions dude

It literally takes two steps to demask it

Nope, you just couldn't get it could you?

bump

Spent two hours with those fucking pixel by pixel color differences. Judging by the ultra autismo required for just that part makes the remaining part literally quantum level autism.
If you used multiple flips I will haunt you in your sleep. Fuck you.

Oh shit, you actually made progress? I gave up pretty quick on it.

Is there a version for GNU?

KYS

Any one gotten any where on this one?

Why are you even in this thread? You don't understand gmask at all.

Kimoi newfaggie

I don't disagree, but the truth of that statement is equally true about saddle shoes and razor blade buttplugs. The reality is that there will never be a demand for those things, even if there was one in the past.

I love newfags. :)

STOP RIGHT THERE POOR RESOLUTION SCUM.

I'm on nofap and there happens to be nothing more exciting than finding out what's behind these images.

I spent 2 minutes making it, you spent 2 hours failing to solve it.
Who is the fuckwit again?

Take a look at this idiot everyone. What a dope.

Consider reading the opening post again and then having some decency

You are calling for decency…on Holla Forums…and calling someone else a dope and an idiot?
Sorry, user. I am afraid it actually is you.

t-thanks

Last bump. I will let the thread die after. I just don't really have the time to make some more masks to upload tbh.

krump Also g mask this image.

This thread was already dead, dumbass.
If it wasn't for OP and a couple trolls baiting him, it would have only had 6 posts in it.
The whole reason people stopped doing gmasks on chans was because they would get trolled so badly the troll masks out numbered the legit ones and it just became not worth it to bother.
OP should have lurked more before posting this thread. Or maybe he did lurk and is just too stupid to learn from lurking. Either way, there is a perfectly sound reason why gmask threads died out as a thing, and this thread is a textbook example of that reason.

so it's so easy to start miners at computers of idiots via imageboard?!

Shit content (anime) posted on the wrong board is not the same thing as lack of content. Lack of content is better than shit content, user. Don't you remember the old saying that if you don't have anything good to say you shouldn't say anything? Yeah, well you should stop posting your faggot cartoons outside of the boards designated for them. This board is for the *random* threads which do not fit in other categories.

Why would he post an image, didn't you read what he wrote? Are you really that stupid to not be able to comprehend that what you are posting is considered to be cancerous shit on this board? Do you not realize that is why nobody is participating in it but you?
You probably are that stupid now that I think about it, so never mind….

Did you make this? I have to change the filename to .bit to get it to open in gmask, even then it is fucked.

If you did make it then:

define "participating"
If you mean shitposting arguments, then yeah there is plenty of participation.
If you mean posting gmasks that are legit, this thread is deader than disco.


Yes, he made that, and yes it is fucked up.
Deliberately.
That is exactly what
said above…fucking trolls kill every Gmask thread.

Sweetie
Dearest

Why is it so hard for you to open gmask and make a mask for me to do? Please tell me!

OP if you're still here you have my sympathies.

2. Because gmask was designed in the 1990s by a slant
3. Because gmask isn't capable of handling large images
4. Because I embedded viruses inside every single image I posted, and you've been hacked

But if you FL you will see a meko on the FL. When you do that and then FL the entire thing again it will appear like pic related.

I believe the first step is to do RGB and make it all the same colour, then FL.
