Error with Tsukihime's Mapshot Script

Golden Fish Entertainment · 2013-10-30T23:38:06+0900

We are attempting to make a "Map" item using Tsukihime's Map Screenshot Script. Below is the download page for the script. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/sz6mpw5n2d6zxi2/UavNzbuBRT/RMVXA%20Scripts/Map_Screenshot.txt However, upon installation, whenever we try to take the screenshot, the game freezes for a few seconds, and the following error message pops up: [[[ Script 'Map Screenshot' line 898:TypeError ocurred. Can't convert Bignum into String ]]] Then the playtest shuts down. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If your map is too large it won't work. I don't know the exact bounds but 400x400 or above is pushing it.

The code I'm using for exporting images does not support extremely large images. I'll either have to find another image exporter, or write my own...

Okay, thank you. The map size is well above 400x400, so that's what I was thinking, but another poster told me they thought it wouldn't be a problem lol.

So, I'm guessing our only option (short of making a completely new map) would be to use a photo editor to splice individual screenshots together? Or is there maybe another script that allows for larger maps?

You can try this http://www.rpgmakervxace.net/topic/669-map-saver-script-conversion-request/#entry8571

It's somewhat slower to process, but if it doesn't have the image export problem then it should still be better than doing it yourself.

We have the image file made, and we made the item which calls up the map image in-game, but we cannot figure out how to make it scroll. Any suggestions?
