How to take a full map Screenshot?

[Spiffing Brit]

Title says it all. I want to take a screenshot of the full map in my save game, but I can't zoom out far enough. I know in EU4 you can get a map print out, but I don't know how to do it here.

You can't. HoI4 doesn't have the print map feature, though I wish it did. Max zoom screenshot is the best you can do.

There's a button for getting a full map picture of the map mode, but I don't remember what it is.

I believe f10 is the normal button for such screenshots in Paradox games. It should give you not so much a really zoomed out screenshot per se, but a map of the world with nation colours.

It is Ctrl+F10 in hoi4

You could change CAMERA_MAX_HEIGHT in common/defines/00_graphics.lua (line 1139) to 4000. The actual value to zoom out to exactly one equator length is slightly smaller than that but might also depend on aspect ratio.

I did not find any built-in method to do this.

I wonder why you have such low number of likes when your posts are so helpful all the time.

@Kryndude ,

Giving a Helpful rating blocks a person from giving a Like. Bitmode gets a ton of Helpful's from me. He deserves a lot more acknowledgment than he gets. In my opinion, the forum should also publicly display the Helpful count.

EDIT: I stand corrected. I just looked at my profile for this message and noticed that the "thumbs up" (Likes) totals 196 which is all of my received Likes, Helpfuls, and Agrees.

Oh, I thought that thumb included all positive ratings.

You are correct. My mistake. My previous post has been amended.

Stupid question: where are the map screenshots saved? I hit Ctrl+F10, and it said "Map saved!", but I can't find it in my screenshots folder.
