Exporting a whole map as bmp?

Question:Is it possible to export a whole map as one bmp-file?
I'd like to see the whole map (20x20 pixels for each tile).

And by the way, what is the .tilemap file that can be exported from the editor?

Yes, you can! RMSephy wrote a tool that can do that:
https://github.com/Spencer-Zhang/ohr-cartographer
(Select "Clone or Download" at the top right and then "Download ZIP")
Here is the thread about it: http://www.slimesalad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6373

Oops, I thought that I mentioned this on the F1 help page, but it turns out I only mentioned it in whatsnew.txt

A .tilemap file is the OHR's format for the tilemaps of a map. You can use it to copy a map between different .rpg files. But it ONLY includes the tile layers, it does not include tilesets, NPCs, walls, zones, map settings, or anything else. In future it will be replaced with a better format that does include those things.

I'm incompetent. Is there any easy way to get this to run on OS X? I don't have the time to reinstall and play around with Wine right now, so I figured I'd ask in case there was a simple way of doing it.

@TMC:
Thanks for your answer.

From the thread I take it, it can be run under Linux.

But I am not familliar with Ruby ....
I tried:
<quote>ruby main.rb </quote>

And that's the error I got:
<quote>
ruby main.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require': cannot load such file -- oily_png (LoadError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require'
from /media/<user>/<usb>/Finish_Game/tools/ohr-cartographer-master/lib/map.rb:1:in `<top (required)>'
from main.rb:2:in `require_relative'
from main.rb:2:in `<main>'
</quote>

Do I have to do something else first before running 'ruby main.rb'?
Or is it because I'm trying to run it from USB-drive?

You're both in luck. The program is written in Ruby and OSX and all decent GNU/Linux distros include Ruby by default. (Depending on which OSX, looks like you might not have rubygems, though, I don't know.)
I realised that the program requires a copy of the 'unlump' tool, which we don't actually provide a copy of for OSX anywhere, so I added copies for linux and mac to ohr-cartographer myself (I'll also change the OHR's nightly build script). You will need to get the program from my github repo; RMSephy has disappeared without accepting my pull requests.
I put the instructions here: http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce ... rtographer

Yeah, sorry about that. I had gotten a new github account for work and haven't logged into my old account for a long time. I'll merge in TMC's pull request

Ah, good.

Just curious, why do you squash together all commits in a pull request?

RMSephy · Post by **RMSephy** » Fri Nov 25, 2016 6:24 pm

Force of habit, really.

Honestly though, in pull requests I tend to make tons of trivial commits for fixing typos and small bugs, and squash-merge lets me hide all that in the commit history.
