| - | **Crossfire mapper** is a tool, only available in the ''trunk'' SVN (server/utils), that generates a catalog of maps. \\ | ||
| - | Until [[:tags|tag]] version 1.60.0 it had not been included in official source code releases of the [[:server]] . \\ | ||
| - | Since official release version 1.71.0 the required //templates// directory and it's around 30 to 40 html files is also included in the release. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The crossfire-mapper is mostly intended for map makers so they know the relationship between maps, and people wishing to figure out where is a specific map/quest. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The following information is generated: | ||
| - | * a page per map | ||
| - | * a page per region | ||
| - | * a global map index | ||
| - | * the world map, including regions information | ||
| - | * the world map, with exits and blocking zones | ||
| - | * the world map, with elevation information. | ||
| - | * an index of maps by level | ||
| - | * the list of all //slaying// fields for keys/doors/detectors | ||
| - | * the list of all monsters found on maps | ||
| - | * the list of quests | ||
| - | (note that some lists are not using the template system yet) | ||
| - | |||
| - | This program browses maps from the first map (HallOfSelection) in {prefix}/var/crossfire/maps ( not in share/crossfire/maps ); only maps linked from there will be processed. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Maps are generated as the server sees them, that is with weather effects, treasures instead of markers, and things like that, unless the ''-rawmaps'' parameter is used. | ||
| - | |||
| - | For maps, 2 pictures are generated, one real size and one small-size. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Three maps are generated for the world: raw world map, world map with region information, region information only. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Maps are always sorted, by the map name (part after the last /). | ||
| - | |||
| - | Files are generated based on templates, where tags are replaced by their runtime value. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Launching the program without any argument will make it generate the files in ''working-directory/html''. | ||
| - | |||
| - | This program is not part of the build process. The command line from the ''utils'' directory is: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code>gcc mapper.c -I../include ../common/libcross.a -o crossfire-mapper -lm -lgd</code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | To build it, you need the //GD// library (ie. install a libgd-devel package). | ||
| - | |||
| - | Since version 1.60.0 the mapper utility is optional part of the build process, available by the ''--enable-mapper'' configure option. But ''make install'' does not install the crossfire-mapper executable, the user has to manually transfer it ( probably to be found inside the hidden .lib directory of the utils folder) to the intended location; preferably where the //templates// directory with the many HTML .template files is located. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The following command line parameters are available: | ||
| - | |||
| - | | -nopics | don't generate pictures. | | ||
| - | | -noindex | don't generate global map index. | | ||
| - | | -root=<path> | destination path. Default 'html'. | | ||
| - | | -limit=<number> | stop processing after this number of maps, -1 to do all maps (default). | | ||
| - | | -showmaps | outputs the name of maps as they are processed. | | ||
| - | | -jpg[=quality] | generate jpg pictures, instead of default png. Quality should be 0-95, -1 for automatic. | | ||
| - | | -forcepics | force to regenerate pics, even if pics's date is after map's. | | ||
| - | | -addmap=<map> | adds a map to process. Path is relative to map's directory root. | | ||
| - | | -rawmaps | generates maps pics without items on random (shop, treasure) tiles. | | ||
| - | | -warnnopath | inform when an exit has no path set. | | ||
| - | | -listunusedmaps | finds all unused maps in the maps directory. | | ||
| - | | -noworldmap | don't write the world map in world.png. | | ||
| - | | -noregionslink | don't generate regions relation file. | | ||
| - | | -regionslink | generate regions relation file. | | ||
| - | | -noexitmap | don't generate map of exits. | | ||
| - | | -exitmap | generate map of exits. | | ||
| - | | -tileset=<number> | use specified tileset to generate the pictures. Default 0 (standard). | | ||
