How Do I take a screenshot of my entire map?

[Actingman00]

I have a map that is a little bigger than the computer screen and I want to take a screen cap of it. Is there any way to put it into a screenshot mode so that it fills only my screen? I've seen people with big maps that have been scaled down for screenshots.

Use the scale sizes at the top. It looks like a fraction

There two things that I can think of. You can take multiple screens of different portions of your map and then put them together with a picture editing program(kind of like a jigsaw puzzle.), or the alternative; I believe there is a script which zooms out the map, which I suppose could be used in-game to take screens of the whole map. Although, this might not be the right way to go.

That's a good idea, I didn't think of that. Thanks.

@bojjenclon: I did that but it made the maps too small.

Do you have your screen resolution set to the highest possible value? (Desktop -> Right-click -> Properties -> Settings)

Otherwise, cut & paste is probably your best option.

Be Well

I made a script like this for Prexus.

You can find a demo in Test Bed V.4 demo.

It actually allows you to build a screenshot of the entire map during runtime. No coping and pasting crap over and over.
