convert saved game map into a large image

[nolanri]

is there any tool or any way to take our map file folder in a saved game and get the very large image that the map files would represent in game?

 

i have taken a look at the map tools but they only open .pzw files. Is there a pzw file for my current map somewhere? or one for the general clean version of the map?

I have the same question...

There is now a a tool available here:

https://github.com/blind-coder/pz-mapmap

 

It doesn't have a UI, only a command line interface and you need a way to compile C# programs to use it.

Most of the code comes from TIS with the savegame-reading code created by me.

it does not compile... it say:

Severity	Code	Description	Project	File	LineError	CS0246	The type or namespace name 'MMBinReader' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)	MapMap	D:\Trabajo\VisualStudio\pz-mapmap-master\MapMap\Main.cs	73

do I need some sepcial lib? because MMBinReader and MMTileDefReader are not in MapMaplib

The files are right here:

 

https://github.com/blind-coder/pz-mapmap/blob/master/MapMapLib/MMBinReader.cs

https://github.com/blind-coder/pz-mapmap/blob/master/MapMapLib/MMTileDefReader.cs

 

Also, I've created a release that I compiled using mono on Linux: https://github.com/blind-coder/pz-mapmap/releases

It's confirmed to work on Windows.

Now I'm getting this with zomboid v33.20:

Check the runme.bash file. The tiledef files need specific names (prefixed with 0_ 1_ and 2_ respectively) to work.

Sorry abour the spam here... but now I get this

My current param is:

NOTE: Should I use ALL the params? or for example, -minx -maxx -miny -maxy are optionals? I tried the example coords and the original map, and the same exception occur.

[blindcoder]

No, the -max* and -min* parameters ARE optional, as are some others.

Can you do me a favor and try:

- using \ instead of /

- using a simpler parameter to -output (like: -output "output\"), ie: a relative path

1) I cant use \ instead of / because the program crash saying that the symbol is not valid

2) Yep... I tried a simple  -output "output\" and it works

3) how can I do a full map image insted of cells?

[blindcoder]

1) weird... but okay

2) great

3) you don't want that. That'd be a 123 billion pixel image. Literally 537600 by 230400 pixels. I personally use the output from this program, push it through a few Linux shellscripts I wrot and get a few hundred 12800x12800 pixel images that I then convert into something I can use on the website. The entire process takes about a week, give or take.

I know that, but I was talking about a resized image... for example, I want a map of 10.000 x 10.000 pixels and the program resize the tiles for me.

[blindcoder]

Yeah, I'm using my scripts for that. I'm actually creating all the 12800x12800 pixel images, then resize all of them to 3.125% and then stitch them all together.

Unfortunately, those scripts will pretty much only work on Linux.
