Quick Question: How does one get a good pic of your map?

[dtumacder]

may be a stupid question, but I have been looking in the map section, the tutorial section and this forum, I may have overlooked it but how do you modders that have maps and take a decent screen shot of its entirety get decent pictures of your whole map? I zoom out and can only get so much, it IS a HUGE map, I don't know if that is the issue, but there are someout there that are stated as huge and they show pics of their huge map.

Thank you ahead of time, this will allow me to show off a rough map of my Dune mod.

If you arent' afraid of spoilers, the Worldbuilder is probably best - there is no fog of war and you can zoom out as far as you want.

Otherwise...
Alt+F will give you a satelite Camera
Alt+B will remove fog of war (only where you already explored)
Alt+I will hide the interface
Ctrl+Alt+F will enably flying cmaera.

You might need to change that in the ini to allow some of those
; Allow Camera Flying
AllowFlying = 1

I always use the retirement screen to screenshot my maps.

excellent Its little things like this that help along with the process. Perhaps when I'm done with my first TC mod ::coughspointsatsigcoughs:: I might write a tutorial for all the new modders of all the little hints and tricks to make things go smoother.

Unless it gets done before then or there is already one
