Hello gentlemen,
I have another question. As I believe you all know that using Shift+Ctrl+F9 you can take a screenshot of an entire map.
There is a limitation though, map size must be 16x16 or less for this to work (correct me if i'm wrong).
Question, therefore, is: is there any way to take this type of screenshot on a map sized 20x20 and larger?
Thank you all in advance.

Only downside is that I have to manually take screens all over the map. Then transfer those into JPEG and then finally piece them together. Do you by any chance know of some "auto-screenshot-taker"?

There are lots of free softwares where you can set the soft' to take a screenshot by pushing one key on your keyboard and directly record the screenshot in .jpeg i was using "Screenshot Captor" but maybe someone know a better soft' ?
Edit : i was thinking that AutoStitch can be use to produce full map panoramas in JPEG format, do you have try this one ?

AutoStitch, well either I am using it wrong or it simply isn't capable of handling such operation. In any case only option I have is to select from the folder JPEG files and then the program pieces them together.

sorry i've forgot to add the link for Screenshot Captor, read also this page, it explain their free license key system. About AutoStitch : maybe some features are blocked because it's a free demo Edit : I hope the scrolling capture tool of ScreenshotCaptor could work in BK

In my experience the results with AutoStitch are unpredictable. If you are looking for a convinient screen capturer I would advise LightScreen. Works very well for me and is free. lightscreen.com.ar/

Scyooff, I installed Screenshot captor and I must admit it's really good (thanks for the link ). However I didn't have success with "scrolling capture tool. Quintaxel I'll take a look this weekend. Thank you. Btw does anyone here have full version of FRAPS?

As you know, files recorded with FRAPS are huge so you will have to compress them. There are a couple of good programs available to do this. Maybe you already know these programs but if not you should give them a try. The format factory is a multifunctional media converter that is very versatile, easy to use free and portable. Size/quality ratio is good. Handbrake can be a bit more difficult to master but is to my knowledge the best option if you are looking for small sized files and great quality. Handbrake is also free and runs on MAC/OS, Windows and Linux.

An update: I've tried two ideas that crossed my mind. Using FRAPS you can, obviously, record videos. It has an additional function though. You can set automatic screenshots. Now on the version I used, you can automatically take 1 screenshot per 1 second. Plus you are notified by flash when this happens. Using this function I took the screenshots along the map a lot of them (over 50). When attempting to stitch them together it didn't really work as it should, or rather it didn't work at all. Autostitch created a totally "confused" picture. I also attempted to do this via Photoshop. However it crashed 2 times when reaching 50% Other idea is actually to a degree easier in the beginning, but the second part is the same as before. So I recorded the video. Then I used GOM player function for still screens. Basically it's a little more time efficient (since you can scroll the map faster). In any case those screens I took were again put through Autostitch and photoshop, with same results as method 1. I was baffled by the fact that Photoshop couldn't stitch those pictures at all, my gut feeling tells me, that number of pictures might be the case. So i'm really curios how exactly does Shift+Ctrl+F9 works and this doesn't? Major Pain and other do you have any ideas? Finally I would like to thank both Quintaxel and Scyooff for providing me their help. I'll keep testing in the meantime. If any good results show up i'll post them here.
