[Blacky]

This is a quick Guide on how to make Map Overview Images. Could be used in a custom hud. If you make map overview images please share.

Requirements:

A proper installation of Renegade. if you don't have the correct registry entry's for renegade leveledit wont work.

Renegade Public Tools ( Contains LevelEdit )

Renegade Public Tools 2

LevelRedit ( Convert Mix Files into .lvl Files )

LevelRedit

Leveledit Dev. A special version of leveledit that has the Orthographic camera view.

Leveledit_Dev.zip

 

1. Find the mix file of the map you want to create a map overview for and convert it into a .lvl file with LevelRedit.

2. Install Leveledit_Dev.exe in your leveledit folder. Default path C:\Program Files (x86)\RenegadePublicTools\LevelEdit\

3. Run Leveledit_Dev.exe and open the map .lvl file you just created in leveledit.

4. Select Instances and Uncheck the editor objects circled. 

 

5. Select Orthographic Camera View

 

 

6. If you have any black parts or it looks weird. Solve the lighting.

 

 

7. Take a Screenshot and crop it to your needs. If using if for a hud you will most likely need to have matching constraints like 512 X 512 Image ( unlike my image )
