[Request] Reloading maps at intervals (For dynamic images)
TomLewis opened this issue ยท 3 comments
Hi
I would love to have maps refresh at intervals, selected maps only.
This would allow me to have a script edit/change images locally and display information from say, my discord changelogs or my website blog!
But it would only work if I had one big image instead of small maps tho, so it might not work.
Or just add placeholderAPI support?
That can be also a good solution. We were only planning to use maps from file system (you can do it right now but it's actualy not intended, with file:// check out #78)
One thing I am still stuck on is each image is saved as a map 128x128, not one big image, so I would need to make my image editor script cut it up into small images, not done that before, I will have to figure that out!
That's why it's not really user friendly :/
@Vlammar thats awesome! how did I not think of reloading the plugin!
Its fine, when my script runs to generate the new images, I will tell it to send a reload command to the wrapper to reload the plugin!
If you want to make it really user friendly, you could integrate with DiscordSRV so people just have to post to a channel in discord and itll display that information over an image or something.

It gets confusing when you start adding image manipulation mind.

Hello, you can change image directly in the images folder but you have to reload the plugin. That's not really user friendly. This can be a nice addition to the plugin, we planned to put image that switch between a list of predetermined picture, your idea can be pretty usefull. A command like /maps update can do the job.
