How do Igenerate an image from a GMAP?

If you have the gmap loaded offline in the editor, while in editor mode simply hit M. There is no way to do this online at the moment.

Can I adjust the size of the "Map Image"? Someone is currently generating a map image for me and I find, for my uses, it's too small.

Nope :/

The only way to make your own image is to take a screenshot of each level and stitch them together, like is done on Era. It's possible to take the screenshots by script, but because of limitations of Graal, you can't take a screenshot larger than 1024x1024 (the size of a level).

Why don't you just generate it offline? Or is this a problem because of things like trees and such?

I'd say lift the 1024 limit on serverside panels, but I think I'd much prefer a built-in function for generating maps. Something like findgmap("world.gmap").makemap(file,res); where res would be the resolution 0-1(1 actually being 50percent, as it'd be silly to render a full-scale gmap).

I kind of requested this feature...

What's interesting is that Stefan responded but he may have misunderstood me.

The one on Era wasn't updated ever since I left, was it?..

I wrote one using TDrawingPanels on serverside. I'm not sure which one you're thinking of.

I coded a tool which took screens of every level, then put them together using a generated batch file and some command line image processing tool. The WNPC probably still exists. I still have the full map png, too. It's 53 MB in size
