In-Game Note/Picture Taking

Post by Mad Inventor »

In-Game Note and Picture Taking

Summary – Add GUI features that allow players to type text notes and possibly save pictures of the game screen, to use as reminders, build notes etc.
Maybe even allow export/import of these text and picture notes between games.

Advantages -
Convenient way for players to remember their plans and priorities, useful builds and settings, etc.
Export/import will be a common way for players to share their techniques and builds, game journals, sceenshots etc.

Notes -
This is a convenience feature, since third-party applications allow taking of pictures and notes anyway. An in-game feature would not require tabbing out of the game and would be a standard for players to share notes/pictures.

For screenshots you can use a command line to take high res captures:

Code: Select all

/c game.take_screenshot{resolution ={3840,2160}, show_entity_info = true, zoom = 1, path = game.tick..".png"}
