Creating maps for the game Worldbox from images, as well as possibly other things in the future
create_map_from_image.py
Description: A python script that takes an image and creates a Worldbox Map File (.wbox), with several configurable settings. Requires the PIL (pillow) module.
Usage: The Github Repository with the script also has a .json file, this is the configuration. running the script will also generate a default configuration file. To select which image to use, set "input_file_path" to the path to the image you wish to use (make sure to double any backslashes, i.e \ instead of \ ), and run the script. There are other configuration options such as blacklisting some block types, such as explosives, snowy mountains/hills (which can make some images look bad), etc, as well as things like image scale which is a multiplier for the resolution of the image; setting it to 2 will double the size, whereas 1 will leave it unchanged. This is useful for large images (the limit seems to be ~1000x1000 pixels), where the game is likely not to handle maps of that size without freezing. This script is meant less for generating actual maps - i.e, terrain - and more on creating actual images, though it can be used for terrain. NOTE: due to how the game handles maps, your image may be scaled somewhat to match a proper map size, making the resolution a multiple of 64 should prevent this. Also, image sizes below 64x64 will error.
