Default Re: RE: Maps

Nope, unfortunately.

I experimeted with this in a map viewer programme, but basically there is a maximum size for bitmaps before something goes horribly wrong with them. Something deep in the bmp code of Windows.

The map viewer therefore produced a tiled set of images for the map which you could stitch together manually.

However with this game being windows compliant in windowed mode, ALT+PRINTSCREEN will generate a capture to the clipboard, drop that into a paint programme and chop off the surroundings and you have the same thing.

And, setting your monitor to 1600 mode, and the game to 1600 resolution is a great way to do map captures, as the map area is HUGE even on the default zoom. (CD extended edition). At the bottom of http://linetap.com/www/drg/SPCamo-4.htm is a link to a sample 1600 screen shot, I think in the default zoom level. it's a large file !

Cheers
Andy
