Anywat to make battlezone take a snapshot of the map at the bottom left of the screen in a selected size instead of a small little map.

I want the image BIG and in good detail too....

Thanks

Command line option.  Unsure if you can use other sizes, like 256, 512, 1024, etc.

/shellmap 128 [filename]    Creates a 128x128 pixel terrain bitmap in the /bz2/addon folder of the maps terrain within the playable area
What box???

Yep that work just fine, and you can change the size you want, good detail too.

Thanks Red Devil  :-D

ODL1Winter would also work, full map size then, just export the parts you want, probably overlay the color layers for the full quality version.

Just depends on the quality that is wanted.

In BZ1 shellmap would make a very high quality image of the entire map, but I believe it used the mipmaps for the terrain textures.  It would show miniature versions of the terrain squares, properly rotated and everything. 

I'm not sure how BZ2 is generating the shellmap view given the texture opacity and such, but it doesn't look half bad to me.

And GBD, I swear I told you that as part of the Winter info on converting maps...  :evil:
