What is this fork?

It's 100% automatic map image generator [for website view 'like GoogleMaps']. It generates OTS map .png images (each 8x8 tiles).

How to use?

1. Compile it like normal OTClient: https://github.com/edubart/otclient/wiki/Compiling-on-Windows - CodeBlocks tutorial [harder, but less GB to download before compilation] https://otland.net/threads/compiling-otclients-latest-source-with-microsoft-visual-studio-2013.204849/ - VisualStudio tutorial https://github.com/edubart/otclient/wiki/Compiling-on-Linux https://github.com/edubart/otclient/wiki/Compiling-on-Mac-OS-X https://github.com/edubart/otclient/wiki/Compiling-for-Android

2. Copy your server client .spr and .dat files to OTClient folder: data/things/HERE_PROTOCOL_VERSION/

3. Copy your server data/items/items.otb file to OTClient folder: data/things/HERE_PROTOCOL_VERSION/

4. Copy your server /ata/world/MAP_NAME.otbm file to OTClient folder: data/map.otbm

5. Run otclient.exe

6. Type in client terminal command like:

   prepareClient(1076, '/things/1076/items.otb', '/map.otbm')

   with you client protocol version and valid paths to items.otb and map.otbm [Paths are relational, so start path with '/' to start in folder 'data', access to other folders is blocked]

7. OTClient will show in 10-50 seconds (it will freez client, do not close it, just wait) something like [pink text]:

   Example generator of whole map: generateMap(25, 45, 0, 555, 699, 15, 4) [last 4 = 4 threads to generate]

8. Type in client terminal command:

   generateMap(25, 45, 0, 555, 699, 15, 4)

   OTClient will report progress in terminal.

   Last 4 is number of threads to run in same time (only way to use more then 1 core to generate images).

   If you are borded of getting 'crash' every few seconds/minutes [restart client and type all again..] you can set it to 1. It will take sooome time, but it will work for sure, so you can leave PC for night and get your map images.

9. Your map images will appear in C:*USERS*YOUR_USER_NAME\otclient\map\

   USERS - your Windows language 'users' (like 'Uzytkownicy' in polish windows 7) YOUR_USER_NAME - your Windows login

10. DONE! :)

NOTE: THERE ARE SOME PROBLEMS WITH MULTI THREADING! Read text below, if you want use more then 1 core of your CPU.

There are some problems with multithreading [few threads try to access 1 tile in same time]. You can try to run X threads, wait for crash, check in file 'otclient.log' last 'area' generated ['X of XX...'] before crash. Then when you start client again, in 'generateMap' command after number of threads, you can add 'start area' to skip already generated areas. Example:

generateMap(25, 45, 0, 555, 699, 15, NUMBER_OF_THREADS, SKIP_AREAS)

Remember to set it to number of areas generated before MINUS number of threads.

So if client crashed with last message before 'debug ..':

78 of 192 generated or are being generated right now, 4 threads are generating

and last time your ran 7 threads, then after client restart type:

prepareClient(1076, '/things/1076/items.otb', '/map.otbm') generateMap(25, 45, 0, 555, 699, 15, 7, 71)

last parameter is 71 (78 - 7).

You can type few commands in one line with 'space' separator (like in code above: prepareClient and then generateMap)
