🗺️ 2D Map ================================================== .. include:: ../_links.rst | :ref:`maptiles ` assembles flat ``r...ol`` tiles into one image. | The result is a 2D map at the scale of the source tiles. ---------------------------------------- Source ---------------------------------------- Flat folder ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Specify a folder with map tiles directly inside it. Use this mode when the tiles were copied from the game beforehand. Game folder ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Specify the game assets to choose a region and map. Map tiles from all asset layers are combined in the order the game loads them. ---------------------------------------- Image format ---------------------------------------- JPEG ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ JPEG is default output format: its smaller file size and faster encoding matter most for baseline use, at the cost of lossy compression. Default quality is ``92``. PNG ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ PNG is lossless alternative: every pixel is preserved, but files are much larger. | Default compression level is ``6``. | Higher levels can take substantially longer. ---------------------------------------- Limits ---------------------------------------- Files smaller than ``7 KB`` are ignored to exclude obsolete game tiles. Tiles with the same aspect ratio may have different resolutions. Larger tiles are reduced to the smallest size. A different aspect ratio stops the export. The assembled RGB image is held in memory before writing. Large maps need substantial free RAM, often over ``1 GB`` with temporary images and encoding. ---------------------------------------- Command line ---------------------------------------- .. code-block:: console scfile maptiles "D:/tiles" "D:/exports/zone.jpg" --jpeg-quality 95 scfile maptiles "C:/Steam/steamapps/common/STALCRAFT" map "D:/exports/zone.png" --region ru --png-compression 9 :ref:`Other options → `
