I keep getting Line 1 failing

reteach · January 27, 2019, 4:57pm

Thats actually line -1 failing, Its been quite a few months since I looked at it so I don’t remember off the top of my head why it starts at -1 but it does not effect your image and should continue rendering the rest of the image.

Just rendered my Battle Royale map with the plugin. Thank you so much for the plugin! <3

reteach · January 27, 2019, 9:37pm

Mind posting?

Its always really cool how they turn out/

PhoenixSigns · January 27, 2019, 10:32pm

I overwrote the original image but here’s a lightly edited version.

I have added some more functionality to this plugin as you can find here: Widgeon X RoRender Minimap Creator - Roblox

Added drag handles, super sampling, water render toggle, performance upgrades and more:

Hey guys
I know this is quite a bump, but I have a question:

Even running it in Play Solo lags it all so I fear the worst when I’d do 6 clients (because my PC has 6 cores).
I’d really like to make a minimap for my game Legend of the Eldritch, but I don’t want to fry my PC doing so. Is there an alternative approach that I could do, other than drawing it myself?
The map I have is supposed to be very large too.

reteach · April 28, 2019, 3:35pm

Pixel wise how big is the map you are trying make?

TheEldritchDreamer · April 28, 2019, 3:41pm

I think it showed 8.3k and one of 3.2k or something.
I know that’s a ton, but I’m not sure how I can do it most efficiently in all honesty

reteach · April 28, 2019, 4:10pm

So I got two potential solutions for you.

Subdivide the map into 4 pieces (or more) individually render them and stitch those images together in photoshop
Manually throttle your render by running less clients. Your crashes is pretty obviously a memory issue. What I suspect is happening your clients are sending data to the server slightly than the server can offload that data to the external program, leading to a backlog of pixel data that eventually crashes studio.

Let me know if you have any more questions/ If this works.

TheEldritchDreamer · April 28, 2019, 4:41pm

Thanks for the advice!! Will make sure to check that out.
Mind if I add you on Discord, perhaps?

Since Roblox Studio is now 64-bit does this make any changes to this system? Or has any optimisations been made to make use of this feature?

Widgeon · May 21, 2019, 4:08pm

64-bit studio has negligible impact on performance per client and really only affects memory. To increase render performance you can run more clients and/or overclock your computer as its CPU based. No optimizations can really be made as far as i’m aware in regard to changing the plugin.

You can also decrease render times by shortening the “RayLength” in the plugin widget window to only what you need.

uJordy · May 27, 2019, 6:20pm

Hey, I want to change the timeout but will this code inside of the server script will just do?

		if (tick()-Time) > 10 then --TIMEOUT OF 10 SECONDS (IF THE SERVER DOESNT RECIEVE THE LINE DATA WITHIN 10 SECONDS IT WILL REASSSIGN THE LINE(S))
			print("LINE FAIL ".. LastLineAssigned)
			LastLineAssigned = ((-(LinesPerAssign-1))-(LinesPerAssign))+(A*LinesPerAssign) -- RESET ASSIGN LINE TO FAIL LINE
			Time = tick()
		end

reteach · May 27, 2019, 9:12pm

Yep just change value there and you’ll be good.

EmesOfficial · June 8, 2019, 4:53pm

Can you add texture support? I’d like to export map with textured trees but now i have these ugly squares

uJordy · June 9, 2019, 5:36pm

If that’s a CSG or a MeshPart then you’ll need to change your collision fidelity to default.

Automationeer · June 13, 2019, 4:45pm

I followed all the instructions correctly and the map was just a 100x100 black photo.

reteach · June 13, 2019, 10:36pm

Black means is the default color when the ray does not hit anything. Make sure you are actually aiming at your map and adjusting the ray length to compensate.
