Extracting Maps

Post by Waltz »

Is there a way to extract a picture of a map?

I am thinking the likes of global conflict or FITE it would be useful to have a copy of a map I can doodle on for keeping track of stuff

Well there's the 'save map as' function on the File menu. But last I tried, the jpg came up mostly white, and the png one didn't work at all.

Probably also you could load a map into editor, and do something there.

What he said, plus I may not have explored all options yet, but so far I have used a screen shot of the Jump Map for some purposes. Of course, if it is a smaller scenario, then it is too small to be of use.

I tried the movie option and my mpg file shows nothing but place names. Is this because I have them set to float?
I'm trying to think, but nothing happens!

If you are running on Windows, you could use the "Snipping Tool" which would allow you to take a picture of whatever is on your screen.

My brain eluded me on that one [:(] You are correct, Movies do not work either. I removed that part from my post, thanks and sorry for wasting your time.

The saving of the map as an image is broken and the devs knows about it. Wait for the patch...
