Orange Mapshot

Orange - Mapshots 1.0 Hudell Introduction This plugin will export the map to image files. The images will be created on a Mapshots folder on the same folder where the Game.exe is (When playtesting, that's inside the rpg maker/nwjs-win folder). Only works while playtesting and on windows and mac deployed games. How to Use This is a very simple plugin. Just activate it on your plugin manager, set the keyCode param to the code of the key you want to use as a trigger (Default is printscreen - code 44), run the game and press the key when you want to take a mapshot. The plugin will create PNG images by default, but you can also configure it to create JPG images. If you use JPG, you can also change the quality level of the images. The larger the quality you use, the larger the image files will be. PNG images are generated only at 100% Plugin Get it from here License Free for any use.

Yeah, it doesn't quite work. It doesn't even open the window like it usually does. I imagine it's something that can be ironed out in testing though. Thank you again for looking at it.

EDIT:

@Hudell After some more testing, I can verify that it does work. Thank you Hudell! I had to copy over the new index.html and everything from the New Data plugins folder (except for plugins.js). So thanks again, it works perfectly now!

FWIW, I'm using 1.3.1 and was having the problem where it would make the folder but not the image, and I just moved the plugin to the top of the list in the plugin manager and that fixed it.

Thanks a lot for this! It's super useful.

Getting frustrated now Been trying for over 3 hours to get this to work and I just can't.

It just Doesn't work for me , First I installed the old version and it said that it took a screenshot (yay)... then when I went to the location it said it should be, there was nothing there , then I found out there was a newer version just now so I replaced it with the old one and now I don't even get a message saying the screenshot has been taken. Something that should be so simple is becoming overly complicated for me lol. Why is it so much more fickle then other plugins ?

It says it should be here in the plugin manager ./Mapshots</td>

Because windows is blocking the game from saving the file. You need to find a way to let windows know the game is allowed to save it.

Maybe you haven't downloaded the plugin correctly. It has happened to me with other plugins, look if the plugin is filled with expressions like or other things between <> even in the middle of the help sentences.

If that is the case you need to download the raw version of the plugin.

The folder should be: ./Mapshots not ./Mapshots</td>

Finally !!!!!! Got it fixed I changed the folder location at the bottom to C:\Users\Windows 7\Documents\MapImages

And for some reason that made it work.

Also what is the difference between

OrangeMapshot and OrangeScreenshotSaver

ScreenshotSaver saves a screenshot of what's visible on screen. Mapshot redraws the whole map on an image file.

@liamx2000 First, you need to make sure you have the latest version of RPG Maker MV. Make sure it's 1.31, and you need to update every project you have as well. Follow all the instructions in this thread:

Second, when you download the updated script, make sure you click the RAW file on GitHub and copy and paste it into notepad. Then save it as a .js file and place it in your plugins folder. It should work fine after that.

Clicking the download link from the first post on the thread should automatically download a JS file.

Strange thing happend today. It just stopped working. I used it perfectly fine. Then about half an hour later it would say it saved the map, and the file would pop up, but no image.

I checked permissions, made sure everyone had full permissions. And I tried changing the destination folder over to documents. Nothing seems to work.

Edit: Annnnd suddenly it's working again? I restarted my laptop yesterday and that didn't help. Maybe switching it off helped? Or it was my anti-virus? Well regardless, problem solved?

Extremely useful. Thanks for the hard work!

EDIT: Whoops. Finally updated my MV and now the main layer is missing from mapshots. For anyone looking for an alternative if this one is not working right, the one available here does a decent job but has no layer choices:

I'll look into that missing layer.

I also had an idea that will help everybody that had trouble finding the png files.

I wanted to ask for a feature... would it be possible to save the map into 2 different png files seperated by layers... the under layer and the over layer?! ;) everything that is under the hero will be on one PNG and the other PNG would contain the layer that is placed above the player!! Is it too much trouble? thank you for the time

EDIT: and this plugin does just that!! :/ :/ I'm so sorry for not even tried it out before asking for this... well then again.. awesome plugin!!! :D it's just great!!

why not? a mirror doesn't help if it is blocked by the same firewall that blocks the original download.

Because the link is a regular download link, nothing special there.
