Preview World Map export [Feature request] #17

Closed tombricks closed 3 years ago

tombricks commented 3 years ago

An export map which exports the map as an image file.

Thanks for your idea. Could you please describe why do you want this feature? I think exporting image is less useful because it is not interactive and won't change when related scripts change.

I was just suggesting it as I presume there is already the code to draw the map in the editor so it would just be a cool feature to export that, so it can be easier to show someone the exact map without having to launch the game or for artwork purposes. Or, if you are discussing a mod, you can show them the whole map with the exact borders and stuff

I do have code to draw map in the editor. But only the visible part is drawn. It's easy to export the visible part in editor window. It need more work to export whole map. If you just need the visible part, you can use screenshot tools. So I suppose you want to export whole map, right?

Yes, that would be based but I understand if you don't want to.
