Automatically export map images every x minutes

Hello,
Seeing as this feature is already partially made inside the config's map editor - I hope you can manage this.
Being able to export the map images to a set location, or ftp server or something, every certain amounts of minutes.
Would give us the ability to have a website for the users to view the maps without having to log on.
Thanks for considering this suggestion!

is fCraft going to have .NET plugins?
This'll be a cool plugin.

You could also try a hard-link or an update script.

@TheAcen - Yes, I was actually working on a standalone command-line MapRenderer utility yesterday, that will be able to do batch conversion. All you'll need to do is schedule it to run every x minutes.
@Jonty - fCraft 0.700 is going to have .NET and IronPython plugins, yes.

@fragmer that's awesome, I'm excited for that!
I know you'll probably do this, but some things are set to internal, like Player.RaisePlacedBlock so plugins cannot manually show who placed a block.
@Python pffft

Working on the map renderer. Too many damn options!
Code: Select all
MapRenderer [-a=angle] [--noshading] [--noshadows] [--seethroughWater] [--seethroughLava] [-q=JPEGQuality] [--cut | --peel | --chunk=x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2] [-f=filter] [-r] [-y] [-o=outputPath] [-i=imageFormat] "FileOrDirectory"
Some of the options' effect (click image for full size):
See-through water
