Orange Mapshot

The plugin allows for screenshots of the map to be made which can then be edited in a graphics editor such as Adobe Photoshop or GIMP for parallax mapping. This can allow for very detailed maps to be made freely without being confined to the single boxes that the in-game map editor allows.

You can place a tree in photoshop and then decorate or modify it further in the graphic editor and then reimport it into the game as a parallax background with the assistance of other plugins. An example of the final product being this: Example of parallax mapping end detail achieved after mapshot.

Hello! When I try to open the page it says 'Download not found'. Is there any other place where I can get it?

@Azem762 https://github.com/Hudell/mv-plugins/blob/master/OrangeMapshot.js

I can't get this to work in RPG Maker MZ no matter what I do with file permissions, different save directories, different map names, etc. Is it broken by MZ? If so, any chance for an update? Heart broken I can't continue my parallax map tutorials :(

I don't think the plugin works at all anymore

This plugin is for MV only. On MZ, you can use the export functions of the Cyclone Map Editor plugin.

Hello, im very new to this and thats why im searching for help. I have troubles not getting the mapshot, the folder is made when i press the key, it even opens it but no image is in there. I did try downloading and use the screenshot plugin and that one works fine i get the screenshots. I even deployed the game but the same happens, i get the mapshot folder but not the image.

Edit: I think i figured it out, i set the drawEvents to false and it started to work.

Is there anyway to still access this? I tried opening the link to the plug-in from multiple sources but it isn't working :(

Edit: Nvm I figured out Chrome wouldn't let me download it!

Does the link not work anymore?
Because I cant seem to download it at all.

Are you using Chrome? That was my problem. I downloaded Firefox and it downloaded just fine!

If you're in Chrome, instead of opening the link, right-click and choose "save as," and then save the file as the default name.

I got the plugin to work in MZ by replacing all instances of "this.bitmaps" with "this._bitmaps" (just adding an underscore).

This plugin is perfect for what I wanted :D. But is there a way to make it not open the folder when done? I thought "$._openedFolder = false" was it but guess not.

Set it to `true` instead of `false`.

True is the default value. I changed it back and it still does it.

It only sets to true after it opens the folder for the first time. if you set it to true before that, the plugin will think it already opened it once and not open it again.
If you're just changing line 570 it'll not make any difference, but add it to line 568 and it will work.

I was only changing 570. I'll try that instead. Thanks!

Bro forgot to renew his domain name

If you need that plugin, do like me :


Use web archive, you can get the link here

I don't know what happened to the website of the owner, prob forgot de renew his domain or to pay host

Very easy to use. I'm using it for parallax mapping. Thanks a bunch for creating this! :kaoluv:

okay, question... any chance to set it so that it does NOT take certain layers into account when creating a screenshot? Like say for instance I ONLY want a screenshot of the event layers, or image layers on the map, and not the background?
like maybe a semi-transparent image? or an image without the black void of the MV background?
