This mod should add a button to the game that generates a google map in the script output directory. Scripting interface already supports this for some time:

(I'm too busy / lazy to do this myself :-) )

slpwnd mentioned google map export before. I doubt that it would be too hard to do, but I failed to find any information what it actually is.

Yeah, I couldn't find too much details about the format too, but imho it will be just multi resolution tiles with some json or xml metadata.

I've found a way to generate a map with the Google API, and I'm now trying to get the screenshots in. One thing I can't find: is there a way to determine if a tile is generated (to determine the edge of the map)? Something like "ischunkgenerated"? If not, how hard would it be to put it in 0.10.10?

Would these work?
Goes in LuaGameScript:
Code: Select all
int32_t LuaGameScript::luaIsChunkGenerated(lua_State* L)
{
luaL_argcheck(L, lua_gettop(L) == 2, 0, "Wrong number of arguments.");
lua_pushboolean(L, !!this->getMap().getTileOptional(RealPosition(luaL_checknumber(L, -2), luaL_checknumber(L, -1))));
return 1;
}
Goes in LuaPlayer:
Code: Select all
int32_t LuaPlayer::luaIsChunkCharted(lua_State* L)
{
luaL_argcheck(L, lua_gettop(L) == 2, 0, "Wrong number of arguments.");
SubChart* subChart = this->map.getForceData(this->player->forceID)->chart->getSubChart(RealPosition(luaL_checknumber(L, -2), luaL_checknumber(L, -1)));
lua_pushboolean(L, !(subChart == NULL || subChart->videoSprite == NULL));
return 1;
}

Yes, but you wouldn't know boundaries of the area to test, I'm thinking about iterator over generated chunks. Also the charted test should be a part of force, not player.
But something like what you wrote will definitely be there. Will you make a pull request, or should I put it in myself?

It's a simple mater to find all generated chunks by starting at chunk 0,0 and searching outwards fractaly. That can be done in LUA without any issues provided the "ischunkgenerated"/"ischunkcharged" function exists. I use a similar method myself to find all connecting water tiles for a given body of water in the Landfill 2 mod.
Regarding the pull request: you can put it in yourself. I'm working on a bunch of other modding interfaces and I'll submit them all at once when they're ready.

You do realize you can already make labeled markers in the game right?
Just place a single track and put down a trainstop next to it, then remove the track, and finally rename the stop.
