external program for minimaps now with shadows you better believe it
skill4life:
jesus forget i can't wait for it you don't even know
Gytyyhgfffff:
ok i made shadows better and also added automatic cropping
here's some sample minimaps
Pixels per stud Generation time1x1 3.14 seconds2x2 4.05 seconds4x4 6.04 seconds8x8 11.94 seconds16x16 34.03 seconds
you aren't limited to powers of two for the pixels per stud: 11x11, 18.94 seconds
new to-do list:
- figure out what is up with http://www.garycact.us/i/U2NlbmVyeQ/x_du4EVH.png on the 16x16 image
- add in ground color
- add in water support
- make add-on that lets you select portions of your build to render
- add bls support at some point
- add automatic bounds calculations for determining size of shadowmap

yo this is too rad. Just imagine if it were a client-sided add-on that gave you a map of the server in real time. Too bad that's next to impossible.

its not really that impossible - if you had a script log newly created bricks and fed them into a live-running minimap maker, the time it would take to update only the relevant chunks of the map should be pretty fast.

will there be an isometric render option
