Usage

Warning

Loading maliciously designed Terraria worlds can drain system resources, crash the interpreter, or possibly do more evil things!

Make sure you trust the worlds you are rendering!

To create a world map image named Output.png from the Small_Example.wld file present in your current working directory, run in your terminal:

flyingsnake Small_Example.wld Output.png

Layers

The world map is generated by merging together multiple layers that can be enabled/disabled through flags.

In order, those are:

• Background
• Walls
• Liquids
• Blocks
• Wires

Background

The background layer is made by coloring the Overworld, the Underground and the Caverns their respective background color.

It can be selected exclusively with the --background flag, or turned off with the --no-background flag.

Walls

The walls layer contains the colors of the walls present in the world.

It can be selected exclusively with the --walls flag, or turned off with the --no-walls flag.

If the walls are painted, they will be colored with the paint color. You can turn off paint colors with the --no-paints option.

Liquids

The liquids layer contains the colors of the liquids present in the world (water, lava, honey...)

It can be selected exclusively with the --liquids flag, or turned off with the --no-liquids flag.

Blocks

The blocks layer contains the colors of the blocks present in the world.

It can be selected exclusively with the --blocks flag, or turned off with the --no-blocks flag.

If the blocks are painted, they will be colored with the paint color. You can turn off paint colors with the --no-paints option.

Wires

The wires layer is a semi-transparent overlay of the wires present in the world.

It can be selected exclusively with the --wires flag, or turned off with the --no-wires flag.

Custom colors

By default, flyingsnake uses the colors defined in the TEdit settings file.

However, you can use different colors by passing the --colors colors.json option to the command.

You can see an example colors file here; the colors are in RGBA format, and go from 0 to 255.
