SateliteView

Description
SateliteView - An image from above.

Another ugly little mod that others might find useful.

-ImageSize {64...8192}
64 will make a nice icon.
8192 will temporarily freeze your screen and heat your room.

-Low
±9 tile area.

-Mid
±25 tile area.

-High
±81 tile area.

By default, images will be saved as .png in:
'..\Cities_Data\SateliteImages\'

This can be changed in:
'..\Cities_Data\SVSettings.txt'
Wich will be written when you exit the game.
This feature is not foolproof so if you're a fool don't touch!
Deleting this file will reset the mod.

Note!:
This mod will use the game camera.
With this it will also use its effects.
(for sharper images disable Tiltshift!)

!!! Has issues with 'Dynamic Resolution' mod !!!

The mod should not interfere with your savegame nor city nor anything but the camera.

Most of my creations originate from need for something I can't find.
And it's all fun and giggles when coding logic, math and physics...but I really suck at design and UI's.

If anyone knows any tutorials about the coding and UI's inside City Skylines,
I would love to know, because I can hardly find them.

I would like to implement a feature which would snap an image every set period.
A slideshow starring the growth of your city.
The function itself could take an hour; making it accessible would take weeks or months, still be ugly and probably break the mod, my face and my keyboard.
So, for now, no updates or whatsoever.

Limited as it is I still like to submit it for those who are in search for it's functionality but can't write code themselves.

And for those who do...

My mods are published with code.
If you have more time and skills than me...please steal and improve!

我删了这个mod还是卡住了,这个存档直接废掉

我谢谢你,因为这个东西我得切任务管理器才能退出游戏
This mod is quite 'useful' for it freezes the game and I cannot do anything.
Recommended for someone who want to be a satelite and unable to do anything on the ground.

I cannot make any Satelite image with this mod by click one of the three size button and I didn't find a button to leave the mod, is that some mod conflict?

I've been hoping that someone would make a mod that does exactly as you described, so thanks for doing what I always wanted to do!

It could work on 8192 without crashing my game, just don't work with DR mod.

@Chemist⌬Rabbit; Does this still mean you can't do 8192?
Hiding when using free camera; sounds like a reasonable request. Will look into it ...soon!

It only conflict with "Dynamic Resolution" mod. BTW, can you hide the UI when using free camera?

@Chemist⌬Rabbit;
code wise: no clue.
clue wise: An assumption others have tried 8192 and would comment the defect.
As a base control I would like to know if it works when no other mods are enabled.
'only SateliteView enabled, new game, resolution to 8192, select orbit, cross fingers'
If it works (hooray) search for the interfering mod begins.
If it doesn't...to be continued; need more thinking.
