Hires Screenshots?
« on: July 09, 2011, 06:21:16 AM »
Bought the game from Steam yesterday and it's pretty sweet!

I read in the FAQ section of the main site that it's possible to take screenshots of 50+megapixels, but whenever i take a screenshot it always comes up to be the size of the screen at the time, fullscreen/whatever size the windowed screen is at the time.

Although screenshots of 50+megapixels would probably explode my computer, i was wondering how to get such large size screenshots?

I've poked around the options in-game and the only thing visual related is the 3D options. Any help?
cheers!

You can take high resolution screenshots by using the button showed in this screenshot, it basically combines 9 zoomed in screenshots to a big one.
I think there was a way to make it combine more, like 16 or 25, but I'm not sure, and now I can't remember where to set it, if it's possible... 9 shouldn't be enough to get 50+ megapixels, except if you have a very big resolution!

It's currently hard coded to use a 3x3 grid, although it could easily be modified to support 5x5 or higher. Is there any interest in this?
