Hello everyone!
I have made a mod that adds a map of the world. It uses the minetestmapper script wich is in the util folder of minetest.
If you have installed it the mod will create a image of the world (This will take some time depending on the size of the map). In the game you can craft a map like this:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: paper paper paper paper

If you want a updated version of the map just delete the file map.png in the map/textures/ folder (the next loading of the world will create a new map wich takes some time too).

There is currently no working windows version.

Depends:

default
You need to have python installed otherwise the script wont work. You also need the PIL (python image libary).

Problems:
If there appears an error while creating the image you will see the command that need to be run in the debug.txt (something like "[map] Tried to run command "python ..."").

License:
The mod contains a copy of the python script minetestmapper.py wich has the license in line 4-8 in the script.
All other parts: WTFPL.

Any chance of writing in c++ or something else that can be compiled and included with the mod?

Sure you can use ... linux is free and better than that winbugg ...
I recommend to start Lubuntu know, you can install it under windows like a program (running Wubi.exe) and uninstall it if you do not like ...
and enjoy the power of open software and minetest

I hope this is not considered spam....

y love Linux!!! & map mod...

Mapper in C++

I already compiled one version for me and test it now. I will see how to implement it in this mod.

by **tonyka** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 14:43

which is how to compile it?
I only get errors ...

Disclaimer: I read that it doesn't work under Windows

I've been away from Minetest for a bit and I've just resurrected my old server this afternoon, then got the updated Mapper to run on Windows with no changes to the script.

For anyone that cares to try, I think that you can do this under Windows, however it's the os.execute call that isn't working correctly under Win as it doesn't natively take the python call like that. I may add it to the env path later and test.

can you make map be stored in world folder instead of mod folder?

Its difficult because its the texture for the map node.

by **sapier** » Tue Sep 04, 2012 20:57

didn't think about that ...
I asked because I tried with different worlds ... obviously getting wrong map on second and following worlds

Can you put a screenshot please?

No Windows version :(

Might it be possible to mix this mod with the new inventory_plus to display a more helpful extract of the map to the player? The complete map may grow quite large. Displayed in the size of a usual nodebox, the map is too small to recognize anything . Things like current position, home and other points of interest might be helpful as well. Especially their relative positions.
And please check your mails...seems mine got lost in a spamfilter - again :-(

Sweet, I am on a linux (ubuntu 12) and code in python.

tried sticking a map in the formspec with mixed results:

its smaller than if i walk up to it :-/

idea: try splitting the map texture into 4 parts. pageflip on punch or tile them on the wall.

Hi first post.
Thanks for this mod. My small map takes roughly 15 minutes to generate at the 'creating server ...' screen.
To view in game you can place it on a low ceiling above a torch, look straight up and move around underneath using WASD.

I NEED THIS but i have windows D:

Amazing mod, thanks!

With mireq's C++ implementation of mapper it's real smooth, btw.

This mod needs to be tuned a bit. lets say ... its nice to have the map somewhere pinned but if you open / look at it (it should be always with you like a real map by hitting "M" key or whatsoever) it should zoomed the current area. I know it would be a bit difficult. zoom in the map and out would be also a real nice thing.

mine is now not working it says"not fuctioning 'step on'......."
How do i fix it?

by **Inocudom** » Sat Dec 01, 2012 16:23

Is there any way this mod could work on Windows? If not, what is it about the operating system that makes such a feat impossible?

by **Iqualfragile** » Tue Dec 04, 2012 22:41

yeah, you could install andlinux, that should work :D

I get an error when I run this. It says it failed, but the image was indeed created. Could it because of the unknown nodes it found?

Also, how do you add nodes to the mapper?

Thanks!
Also, how
