Detailed Ingame Battlefield Maps

[Top_Cat_AxJnAt]

All forms of complex pre-game organization require maps of the levels to be played.

I know the Tourney used to use the CO furthest zoomed in view to take almost hundreds of overhead shots of entire levels and then combine them to create a very detailed map.
However this hihgly zoomed in view no longer exists.

The mini map and all similar maps, like the spwn point map are of a too poor quality to plan complex tactics.

I do not know of any way of aquiring a detailed map of all the PR levels. So i would be very gratefull if some one could imform me of such a way.

Thanks alot.

BF2 minimaps are crap. I tried Photoshoping them, but isnt really helpful. The most detailed ones are on small maps, which is kinda obvious....

You could use the battlerecorder in a local server (type this in the console : demo.recorddemo <Name> and when you're done, type demo.stoprecording also in the console. then use battledirector (google) to view the demo file)
You really don't need more than a few seconds as you will "stop" time while you fly about taking your pictures.

Not a perfect solution by a long shot but it may do what you want.

Thats what they did on tournaments, taking aerial pics of location with BFRs...

For what its worth seeing as we only use 2 vBF2 maps at the moment; The guys that built the program; "Advanced Tactical Centre" for BF1942 have made detailed maps and tactical tools for BF2.

Lan game, use the record button, go to community or use battle recorder.

Although you migh tnot get the same height if you do it manually.

Ok i can record games and view them using BattleDirector.

BUT i do not have away of easily taking mulitple screenshots, that come in a nice jpg or other easily convertable format and does not include some dodgy watermark.

Printscreen - can take mulitple screenshots with out dropping out of BattleDirector BUT when they are viewed on clipboard they are not in a jpg format and cant be converted. I could take 1 and then imdietely past it into a paint or another photo editing program but that would take a damn century.

The Battle Field2 screenshot feature when used on Battle Director only lets me take 2 screenshots at a time (time being from loading the record up to closing it) and therefore this is useless becuase i need to be able to take 100 or so shots. I can take as many as i like in a normal BF2 game but Battlerecorder is slightly different from normal BF2.

I have tryed a few odd FREE screenshot programs but these are rubbish for taking loads of screenshots with out dropping down BattleRecorder.

SO does any one know of a way or a program that will let me take loads of pictures easily, stored them automaticaly and in a format that i can easily edit?
