Awesome, thanks Cosine!

Oh wow. Having those for the hardened levels, for instance, would be amazing! Lets see whether we can make it a community effort.

Yea that's really nice.

Lets see whether we can make it a community effort.

I guess that would require some coordination.
I think, that I once saw an unfogged Hex by some else and I super-FBed Hex once, but it was absolutely unreadable. So someone would need to come up with a clear format for that.
I personally pledge my stack of 50+ Fog Busters to the initiative, if it will be coordinated and not to waste.

On a side note, It would be cool, if there were a technicall way to display base maps outside the app with an option to display or overlay additional stuff on them. That would be usefull not just for Idle (pin pointing key locations, showing routes, etc) but for WZ Classic too (visualized game analisys, game hints, fun stats)
If anyone knows a solution, please give me a hint.

if you had an 8k workstation that would be an easy way to do this :|

or you could take several zoomed-in screenshots and stitch them together

i tested picpick and screenpresso. they can't handle the horizontal scrolling involved, but snagit (which can be used with a free trial) claims to be able to with its panoramic capture mode. although it notes that it requires scrolling only in one direction at a time, which may be hard to do. it might be possible with accessibility tools, and a few lines of ahk could probably do it.

this feature could also be created with like, a few hours of writing code. it is not particularly hard to engage node.js to automatically take screenshots while a person manually scrolls around, and then to match areas of screenshot to stitch them together. this would be much easier to use than a snagit + ahk mess

code is not fun to write though. my price for this work is $40/hr. i am also willing to provide information about the libraries and function calls i would use to do this in node.js, if someone else wants to do it but is not sure how to find the tools to use

Stitching images isn't that complicated. Threw together a super basic python script, using some opencv and pyautogui.

Currently in the middle of a map, but this is how it looks. I can probably get a bit better result just zooming in even more

If anyone is interested in looking into this a bit more I can probably clean it up a bit and post to github

Edited 3/5/2023 14:49:16

Stitching by hand takes about 20-30 minutes in high res, but you need to do it only once, the problem is a lack of fog buster powers

Nice one geforce

Here's some more using automated stitching

Orbis, Scandinavia and Asia

Doesn't look bad at all, which program did you use? I tend to not go in full high res to save time, rather zoom in for important routes

Made a python script with opencv, you take a bunch of screenshots and then it stitches them

How do you do the screenshots in the first place? Do you play in browser and then use sth like snipping tool under Windows?

When I share such raw screenshots, would you be able to stitch them? What format do I have to use for that?

really weird how opencv distorts the map. maybe you could post raw screenshots also in case someone writes a tool that stitches them together perfectly later?

When I start it I mark the area of my screen that is the game area by essentially clicking and dragging the mouse from top left to bottom right.

I then zoom in on the map to an acceptable level and start moving it around, pressing space to take a screenshot. The images has to overlap
All screenshots gets added to the images folder.

Then when I'm done I just press a different button than space and it starts stitching all the images in the image folder.

It's obviously very basic without much error handling since it's essentially for personal use.

@otto
If you have access to some spare Fog Busters you should be able to use the snipping tool in windows and save a bunch of pngs, and I should be able to just stitch it for you. Make sure the images overlap, and maybe send me a message or something before starting the actual map so we can see if something is missing.

@cosine

I noticed it a bit as well, had to change it to handle it as scans instead of photos. Looks a lot better with the last few compared to the first

Noice. ;) Thank you Cosine. A whole picture library of those would be nice.

In the past (prev map editions so they are useless now), I've made screenshots by maximizing on a 38" monitor and they came out all right, but I think it was EH/HEH, not Hex, which probably would does look crazy on any monitor b/c of the huge digits on the army counts.

Do you guys mind that I re-host and link them on my level data site so everything is in one place?

I don't mind at all, just happy they are being used
