Colonello Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hi everyone, I've been trying to take a screenshot of a map i'm making using the Screenshot Map tool in the admin panel. It seems like every time I try to screenshot it (or any map) it comes up with a blank picture. I've tried multiple photo editors and viewers and it's still blank in every one. Anyone know how to fix this?Example: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexkymbeth Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 You have to recreate it in dx8 since it was coded in dx7 I did it on my main computer. when I get home (4-5 days) if no one else figures it out I will post a tut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonello Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 This may be an old topic but nobody ever made a fix for it. Bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growlith1223 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 i know this is an exceedingly cheap way of fixing this but load 2 graphic libraries at the same time(DX7 and DX8), and when you go to take a screenshot, just render a small DX7 box in a hidden picturebox(not shown on the actual screen, just like outside the form border) then just take the map being rendered on the picturebox and save it. As i said, it's a cheap way of doing it but im almost certain it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonello Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Just bumping this seeing as how there wasn't really any ever proper solution found to this. (The topic may be old but I decided to bump it rather than making a new topic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexkymbeth Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Wow forgot about this! Wonder if I still have that laying around somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonello Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 I'm just going to bump this again. :p It's a feature I'd really like to use for when I decide to post a thread for my game. It would also probably be found useful for many others! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXaden Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Growlith1223 is right, you have to save it to a picturebox, thats the only way of doing it without coding a novel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
