NovoAtlas 1.2.0

Horizontal Scaling

NovoAtlas now features horizontal scaling! The primary use case for horizontal scaling is to allow for large maps to be created from relatively small images, to save memory. However, downsampling is also possible.

Thanks to ANDREA-1720 for assisting with this feature.

• Added an optional horizontal_scale option to the scaling config in the map info definition.
• If not specified, the horizontal scale will be set to 1 with nearest neighbor interpolation.
• horizontal_scale can be specified as either a positive float, or as a compound containing the value and interpolation strategy.
• You can choose between three interpolation strategies: nearest_neighbor, bilinear, and bicubic.
• More detail is available on the wiki

More Image Formats

NovoAtlas now supports a wider range of image formats, including: .jpg, .tif, .tiff, .wbp, .bmp, .gif, .png, .jpeg, .wbmp, and .webp. Some of these formats support lossy compression, however I strongly recommend against utilizing this feature, especially for biome maps. Using lossy compression will result in loss of detail and incorrect biome placement (particularly around biome boundaries).
