bmap_save(BMAP*, STRING* name)

Parameters:

Remarks:

• The file is saved to the current folder. It contains all modifications applied during gameplay.
• The allocated bitmap size (always a power of two) is saved in engine versions up to 7.85; from 7.86 on the size given in the BMAP definition is saved.
• DirectX is used for saving the image; therefore some restrictions apply. The jpg quality can not be adjusted and the jpg image size must be a multiple of 8. The bmp format can only be read back by bmap_load; it is saved in an unusual 32 bit format and thus can not be used for BMAP definitions or for textures.

Example:

function main() 
{
  wait(1); // video device must be openend for saving bitmaps
  BMAP* b = bmap_createblack(123,456,24);
  bmap_fill(b,vector(255,0,0),100);
  bmap_save(b,"blue.png");
}
