We are attempting to make a "Map" item using Tsukihime's Map Screenshot Script. Below is the download page for the script.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/sz6mpw5n2d6zxi2/UavNzbuBRT/RMVXA%20Scripts/Map_Screenshot.txt

However, upon installation, whenever we try to take the screenshot, the game freezes for a few seconds, and the following error message pops up:

                [[[  Script 'Map Screenshot' line 898:TypeError ocurred. Can't convert Bignum into String  ]]]

Then the playtest shuts down. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If your map is too large it won't work. I don't know the exact bounds but 400x400 or above is pushing it.


The code I'm using for exporting images does not support extremely large images. I'll either have to find another image exporter, or write my own...

Okay, thank you. The map size is well above 400x400, so that's what I was thinking, but another poster told me they thought it wouldn't be a problem lol.

So, I'm guessing our only option (short of making a completely new map) would be to use a photo editor to splice individual screenshots together? Or is there maybe another script that allows for larger maps?

We have the image file made, and we made the item which calls up the map image in-game, but we cannot figure out how to make it scroll. Any suggestions?

Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
How many parameters is 'too many'??
