Fortnite Dropmap Generator

A free-to-use Fortnite drop map generator, using the landingtutorial.com API to generate drops, and the fortnite.gg website to download the visuals.

I'll be honest this isn't the easiest dropmap generator to use - sorry to those who are finding this from Google. If you have any problems, contact me on Matrix ([email protected]) or Discord (@mqlvin). You can also create an issue on GitHub if you'd like.

Prerequisites

You will need Python's pillow and requests library. Install this appropriately, for example pip3 install pillow, pip3 install requests or pacman -Sy python-pillow etc

How to use

Generating the map image

First, you need to generate a map image for the program to use. It will make many requests to fortnite.gg for their pre-existing map.
There are optional configurables in the downloader.py file, such as map zoom (I would recommend 5) and map ID, which ideally is set to the current season.

Once configured, run python downloader.py.
It will create a folder called ./dl-out with a lot of images.

Next, you will want to stitch the images together into a single big image.
To do this, run python stitcher.py.
It will create an image called map.jpg.

Generating the drops

Next configure plotter.py. You should change the target_x and target_y variables to change the target drop position. The top left of the map is (0, 0) and the bottom right of the map is (512, 512). Run python plotter.py and you should be prompted to enter the script output. Paste the set of numbers on your clipboard, and press enter.

Now the script will contact the landingtutorial.com API for the appropriate drops. This could take a few minutes depending on the number of drops generated.
And that's it :)

Result

The resulting dropmap will be in a file called ./marked.jpg.
It has a few features:

• Red boxes are where you should start gliding.
• If a red box has a number below it, you should start gliding at that altitude. Otherwise, start gliding at 100m (the auto-glide point).
• The black box which is probably somewhere near the middle is your drop target.

Here is an example of a generated dropmap below:
