Cartographer for OpenRCT2

This is a plugin for OpenRCT2. It will draw a map of your park. Instead of the weird diagonal map that is built in to the game, this map is orthogonally-oriented and thus easier to read. It uses solid colors to represent different surface textures, footpaths, rides, water, scenery, and rides, each of which can be toggled on and off.

You can also toggle a heatmap that shows which tiles have peeps on them, which uses a white-yellow-orange gradient coloring. If a tile has more than 15 peeps, it will show up in pink to indicate a possible peep trap.

It doesn't really do anything else, but it looks neat. You could take a screenshot of the map, import it into some image program, and then do something fun with it.

Planned features / known issues

The map does not automatically refresh during construction (this would cause an enormous performance hit). Instead, you can toggle any of the show/hide buttons to reload data, or simply close and re-open the map.

Currently, the OpenRCT2 API does not allow for clicking on the map to pan in-game to a location.

Please submit any ideas under issues.
