Title: How do you turn a map you made into a perfect panorama?
Post by: Blademon on May 14, 2006, 09:37:00 PM

I want to make a scrolling panorama of my map, to give the impression of motion, kinda like being on horseback, (the Burning Grail had one) but it appears very difficult to get the right dimensions to make it identical to the original map. I'm only using the Print Screen button, any other suggestion?

I'd also like to use this method for future battle backdrops, so again it needs perfect dimensions and to look identical to the real thing, how?

You just use print screen......

Use the Print Screen button while you're in the game, then paste and resize it in Paint. Both panoramas and battle backdrops can be created this way.

It's kind of innacurate.. Using 1/2 Zoom and print screen gives ok results.

The screenshot has to be taken while the game is in full screen mode......

Yeah, it makes it look better if you're in-game when you take the picture. I find that using the windowed mode of Test Play yields the best results, as you only need to resize it by 50% to get a perfect image.

I edited your title, by the way. It looked like a typo, but if it was intentional, feel free to edit it back.

No, no, no, that is not how you do it.

You go to the map settings, and use the "wrapping" option.
It's called something else in RM2K, but its on the same spot.
Look at attatchment.
Wrapping basically repeats the map either horizontally, or vertically or both.

Unless you want a separate panorama. Then you have to use print screen. But if you just want to scroll the map, this is the way to go.
