#4962 closed enhancement (fixed)

Biome specific map previews

Reported by: elexis Owned by: elexis
Priority: Nice to Have Milestone: Alpha 23
Component: Maps Keywords:
Cc: Patch:

Description

In alpha 23 we can select the biome of a random map script, if the map supports it.

We could take one thumbnail per map depending on the biome.

To reduce the amount of work to do that, we could write a tool that locates the camera at a position optimized to catch the given map at the given mapsize with a keystroke.

If the selected map didn't specify a png filename, the gamesetup could display mapname_biome.png if it exists, otherwise display mapname.png if that exists.
