Saving my map as an image

[Shuxion 1]

Been gone for almost a year but back, in the meantime been working on my project (All aspects finished on paper, now have to implement it into RPGXP) I would like to be able to save my map as an image. I cannot print screen it because some of my Real time combat maps are 300x300 and I cannot fit the whole map on the screen, tried doing it by pieces and cutting and pasting but that has not worked at all.

 

Is there a way to save my entire map as one image, been searching the forums and didn't notice any topics on it yet people have uploaded pretty big maps into the gallery.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Cutting them into pieces work. First, when you open your image editing software, make a new image with the dimension of your map's pixels which is the map's dimensions multiplied by 32. For instance, if my map was 17x13, it would be 544x416. From there, just PrintScreen different parts of the map and combine them together.

I stumbled upon some external utility which did the trick a long time ago, but I can't remember the name. I know it's not much of a help but I just thought I'd let you know the solution exists.

Theres an easier way. Theres a program we used for the mapping contest we had to take the whole map into 1 pic.
