Minetest Mapper C++

https://travis-ci.org/minetest/minetestmapper.svg?branch=master

A port of minetestmapper.py to C++ from https://github.com/minetest/minetest/tree/master/util. This version is both faster and provides more features than the now deprecated Python script.

Requirements

  • libgd
  • sqlite3
  • leveldb (optional, set ENABLE_LEVELDB=1 in CMake to enable)
  • hiredis (optional, set ENABLE_REDIS=1 in CMake to enable)
  • Postgres libraries (optional, set ENABLE_POSTGRES=1 in CMake to enable)

e.g. on Debian:

sudo apt-get install libgd-dev libsqlite3-dev libleveldb-dev libhiredis-dev libpq-dev

Windows

Minetestmapper for Windows can be downloaded here: https://github.com/minetest/minetestmapper/releases

After extracting the archive somewhere minetestmapper will be available from cmd.exe:

cd C:\Users\yourname\Desktop\example\path
minetestmapper.exe --help

Compilation

cmake . -DENABLE_LEVELDB=1
make -j2

Usage

minetestmapper has two mandatory paremeters, -i (input world path) and -o (output image path).

./minetestmapper -i ~/.minetest/worlds/my_world/ -o map.png
