I've images of maps like this: http://c55.me/~celeron55/random/2011-11/map-2011-11-29.png

But I don't know how to make them.

There is a tool called minetestmapper.py included in the minetest sources (util/ directory) that can generate those. You need python, python-imglib or whatever and knowledge how to run python scripts on command line to use it. (also, it is not compatible with 0.4 currently.)

Ok I ran it, but I can't find where the image is.

There should be "map.png" in the same folder as minetestmapper.py.

It runs but nothing happens.

I have it in a folder called "util" since that's what the name of the folder I got it from on GitHub was called.

The map.png should be in util alongside minetestmapper.py. Does the script actually run? You need python2, not 3, and a library called python imaging or pil. The script has to be run from inside the util folder to find the map. When I run the script, this is the output of a successful run:

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: w=352 h=368 Processing sector 200 of 381 (52.5%) (ETA: 0m 4s) Drawing image Saving

What is the output when you run it?

I have Python 2.7.2. Where do I download the libraries? I don't get any output, I run it and it opens up a command prompt window, there's some text that goes by way too fast to read it, and then about a second later it closes.

The python imaging library is at http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/index.htm. To read the output you can open it with an interpreter. On linux I use geany and on windows there's IDLE.

Looks like I won't be able to get it to work, the only pil library for my version of Python the installer for it crashes when it starts to install.

What is the current support status of minetestmapper.py with 0.4 ?

Minetestmapper.py doesn't work for 0.4

It may works with freaky colors thanks to a tiny patch
