WIP: PNG Export Improvements

Added 2023-07-29 13:27:49 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone!

I'm currently working on something that I know a lot of you are going to get excited about. After many years of prioritizing other updates over this one, I'm finally giving the PNG export function different options and making the result reporting user-friendly.

With the update, you'll get the ability to export sub-sections of the map instead of always being forced to export the whole thing. It will use the existing right-click selection that is currently being used for claiming. You will also be able to adjust how much a large exported image is scaled down, including an option to not scale the image at all. Whether you are able to export an unscaled image of the map depends on the size of your allocated Java heap. However, you are also getting the option to export the whole map as multiple unscaled images, which doesn't have the same memory limitations. Another option I have implemented is for exporting the map with the nighttime lighting, which is something people have also expressed interest in before. All exporting results, whether successful or not, will be displayed at the top of the screen instead of just being posted in the game log.

I am most likely also going to add an option to include claims on the exported image, but it's something I haven't even touched yet. It seems possible though.

Feel free to let me know if you have any thoughts and thank you for your continuous support!
