Urg, please don't post images of the map editor... It's pretty useless. Post images of the map itself! For an example, click on the name of any map
here and a lightbox image of the map will pop up. IE:
(Note, this doesn't work in IE, yet)
I strongly recommend mediafire for maps. Very very strongly... And no, its not normal. Sometimes mediafire does that. Just try again. Alternatively, try filefront, as it is very fast and very good.
To take a picture:
You must use GAE. Normal glest will not work. Start a game with this map, make sure fog of war is *off*. The tileset CANNOT have fog, so either take that out in the XML, or use Military, since its tilesets are custom edited, and removed the useless fog (not to mention military already has the INI settings done, meaning you can skip the rest and start military's included GAE). Anyway, you need to set the INI settings to let you zoom out far enough, and to make the camera render far enough.
CameraMaxDistance=1024.00
RenderDistanceMax=1024.00That should be enough to do up to 256x256 maps.
Bear in mind that the larger the map, the more it lags when zoomed out this far. Consider pausing the game to increase performance slightly. A 64x64 map can zoom out far enough without any lag, but a 256 x 256 will take more time because of the lag, but it is indeed possible (I took all the pictures at the above site on my old crappy laptop). Now, once zoomed out enough to see the entire map, you need a screen capture program to take a picture of the screen. On windows, the snipping tool will do. For mac, you can see
this article about that.
Now, a short post script about posting the tags with [url.] (period so it isn't rendered). I just thought I'd mention there is a hidden tag called nobbc which lets you type tags inside of it without them being rendered. ie: [nobbc][url]my.site[/url][/nobbc]
