"mapshots"

[ShizzzoiD]

Need some help. Somebody knows a simple way to make high-quality mapshots (as the commander, but the whole map)? I need very detailed pictures, and to do screenshots in game playing commander... not easiest way
So any tips/tricks/guides
P.S. sry, my english is not so good as yours

Go to the levels folder within the mods/pr folder, and look for the level you want. Look inside it, and look for commander maps or something, and the minimap is in there somewhere.

That, or look here and see if the map is already up and save yourself the time! http://prguide.realitymod.com/index.php?title=Maps

yeah, i did so before posting here, but inside the client.zip file there are only *.dds files. anyone know, how it can be readed? for example, ...\pr\levels\muttrah_city\client.zip\Hud\Minimap\ commanderMap.dds.
when googling, i found some photoshop plugin, that can do it... but there are no manuals.

Irfanview can view pretty much any file (including .dds) and then resave it as a .jpg so you can open it in photoshop, etc.

thanks! you really helped me.

Or you can get photoshop plugins so you can open it straight to photoshop.

If you want I could go through my files I might have a bunch of them in PSD or JPEG form.

Though I have to go wash clothes and make food.

i think, maps in commander mode are real-time compiled, because all map-like pics, that i saw, using irfanview, was in resolution... 500x500 max. other images are taking some information for bf2 engine.
eh. i have to make screenshots ingame, or read manuals about using BF2 Editor. but, however, thx.
