Is there a way to get an image of my city as a map so i can see it even if it is from the top view?

You can use minetest-mapper-cpp.

To build in Linux:

git clone git://github.com/mireq/minetest-mapper-cpp.git minetest-mapper-cpp
cd minetest-mapper-cpp/
cmake .
make

To use:

./minetest_mapper -i [path_to_your_world] -o map.png

I may try. Send me link with world folder or post it here.

I'm not sure, maybe you can try to run Linux using Virtual Box?

You can just use minetestfolder/util/minetestmapper.py with Vannessae's version of colors.txt.

thanks for the tip, it works now.
question: is there a way to run minetest-mapper-cpp during the game?

Posted: **Sun Dec 22, 2013 20:59**

You guys may want to give this a try:

https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=4922

It gives you a short range mini map in-game. Works quite well.

no

SQLite does not like it as it trys to avoid having more than one application managing the database at a time and the Mapper does not hook into Minetest as client but opens the database to read it is a standalone program. Things may change though........

You can just use minetestfolder/util/minetestmapper.py with Vannessae's version of colors.txt.

I do not have the "util" or "minetest folder" folder

hi hampa16

download minetest from github:https://github.com/minetest/minetest
extract minetest
search the file colors.txt in the util folder
rename colors.txt as io.h
and move io.h in minetest-mapper-cpp

Where do I move minetest-mapper-cpp at?

There was a time when this program existed:

I never tested it, but found a copy. Hope it's useful.

Looks like Topywo found a copy...

Is there a Windows version for this program?

Posted: **Sat Jan 25, 2014 05:30**

The Windows version is on the site:

https://github.com/mireq/minetest-mapper-cpp/downloads

It's building the Linux version that can be fun (pulls in about 40 MBs of deps).
