Map picture

[Death-cord]

Not sure what is the switch -mapgfx does, I'm expecting it can generate a picture of the map like what's in repmastered.app ? if not, can you add an option to do that ?

http://www.stormcoast-fortress.net/cntt/software/scmdraft/gallery/ Also, like Scmdraft do it, how about drawing overlays of buildable areas, high-ground levels, and maybe even walkable areas ? that would be great and highly insightful for quick map analysis, I asked the people there to add it, and they are already willing to help: https://github.com/ShieldBattery/bw-chk/issues/11

As the doc says: screp -h:

    -mapgfx
        print map graphics related data; valid with 'map'

It does not generate a map image, but it includes additional data required to actually draw the map image. Namely, if -mapgfx flag is provided, the following data is also parsed and included in the output:

• Placed units on the map, including resources, critters and other UMS-placed units.
• Sprites

These will be in the MapGraphics property of MapData.

Drawing the actual map image requires graphics included in StarCraft installation itself. Packing these with screp is not practical for multiple reasons:

1. They weight multiple MBs, would result in a huge executable binary.
2. They are copyrighted material of Blizzard.

Also note that screp intends to be a replay parser and analyzer tool, not a map analyzer tool.

Also note https://repmastered.app does most of this: it renders high resolution images of maps of replays, also with placed units and buildings, also buildings built by the players, even animated. Check the Map tab of replays.
