Map Image [solved]

Hi there,

I wanted to know if theres any method to get a image file of the map, or to take a screenshot to it without those lines..
Thanks
 
To take a screenshot, press ALT + Shift. To get rid of the lines, makes sure when you are taking a screenshot, one of the layer selections is on and not the events selection

I think he means CTRL + Prnt Scrn. i have no clue what ALT + SHIFT does... Oh and by the way, taking a picture from the event layer is the best way to go when doing the whole map. It cominds the layers and shows you what it looks like in game.
 
ya thats what I meant, Ctrl+print, but Im pretty sure Alt+print works too...

you can change the settings under view so that you see all the layers happening at once no matter what layer you are on.
 
You set it to whatever size you want the map to be. [1/2, 1/1, 1/4, 1/8] Then you uncheck dim other layers. Press print screen and past it to paint. Cut out the map and edit it however you feel.
 
If you look on the upper bar that says file, edit, et al, one of the choices is view. If you click All Layers, then all of the layers show up un-dimmed. Make sure Dim All Other Layers is not selected! For me, that is the best way to take screenshots.
 

Thank you for viewing
