This is exactly what I would LOVE to use on my server.

 

This is really cool. Definite bump.

 

tutorial maybe?

 

Sure, give me a few minutes and I'll upload a video.

In the meantime, check out the tutorial in the first post. I added a short example and a list of commands (Can't believe I forgot that).

 

:O



I was going to install it but I'll wait for permission support...

 

hey no prob man its a cool idea

also how would I auto add it to my website? that would be a cool addon!

 

I'll add some instructions once I get the Gallery part finished which I hope to have done by the end of the weekend.

No problem, I'll have permissions added in tonight.
Edit: Make that 5 minutes...
Edit Dos: Just updated. Now it's got support for Permissions, ZachBora.

 

I don't really understand what's the point in taking these kind of pictures, any idea?

 

It's just for fun. Soon I'll be adding functionality to take the pictures from all angles and it will automatically add them to a gallery where people can show off their creations. The gallery will also have 3d models of all of the creations saved too.

 

ok so it's like only for enterntainement

 

OMG i'm in love with this plugin already

 

Yep

 

When I left click and right click this gets logged :

ZachBora, sorry about that. Small bug. I'll update it in a few seconds.

Edit: All right, it's updated.

 

What sort of size are we talking here? As in, would it be a bad idea for one of my OP's (I know one will try it) to take a screenshot of the entire developed world on our server?

 

Yes. Just like with World Edit, or similar tools, you need to be careful with the number of blocks you take a picture of. Take a look at my video, at the very end I do a somewhat large sized shot and it took about 2-3 seconds to render. While it's rendering the image, I'm sure it will use quite a bit of CPU so I wouldn't go around doing this with huge areas. As time goes on, I will undoubtedly increase the efficiency of the plugin and rendering process however, I doubt you'll be able to take full size shots of entire maps. Use DynMap for that

 

@dv90 I can select but when I used /image save test
it returned null and this in the log :

@ZachBora, I guess it's a bug with the folder name. Some operating systems see Images and images as two different folders. It's fixed and updated.

 

yeah, server is running on linux so that'd be the problem...

God I must be unlucky or something... It works on my local server (win vista) but only produces black images on the linux server maybe its incompatible...

P.S. I think you can add #78, same as #80.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Yep that's what I thought.

Hm. That's something I'll have to look into considering the majority of servers are run on linux. Thanks for the info.

@ZachBora, you're not getting the message, "MCGallery block types are missing! Images will not be generated correctly." when the plugin is enabled are you? Because if so, that means it can't find the texture files and it will cause exactly what's happening. Otherwise, it's because of linux.

EDIT: Never mind. It was the same problem from a couple posts above. It was reading from types/ instead of Types/. It's fixed and updated. Sorry about that.

My problem is making Dynmap work

 

it only says :

2011-05-05 20:25:33 [INFO] [MCGallery] Permissions enabled.
2011-05-05 20:25:35 [INFO] MCGallery 1.21b enabled.​

 

@ZachBora
It's now working on linux. Proof: http://images.test.pwnage.me/image_7833337.png
You can see the two prior failed attempts in the root directory of that image directory.

 

I suggest asking a question in the thread about it. If it's the common black screen, then try putting some blocks down and waiting. Otherwise, no idea

Try the latest update. I got it to work on my linux server.

 

Did you do a full map render after installing dynmap?

 

I tried and this plugin works. It's just missing blocks now (netherrack and wool for example).

If I did custom blocks for those numbers would the plugin use them? Also need a way for colors, maybe with _ like 35_15.png

 

Yeah you can add/edit the block images. They're all in the format of [id].png. I'll add support for colored wool soon and it will be something like [id]_x.png

 

Web gallery sounds amazing. Will keep an eye on this Plugin.

I suppose it could be done semi-easily with a symlink and php script, but I'm too lazy for that.

 

Cant wait for the webgallery, This would be a great addition to my server.
