Feature Request: Zoomed-Out Map View Option

[L4zerShark]

This mod is great! I would like to request the feature of being able to check a box and the zoomed-out map view is used instead of the normal game view. It would work normally but use the view that you get on the map if you zoom out enough. This would improve performance and make larger factories more viewable (and easier to understand). It would be great if I could just check a box to change the screenshot type to this view when my base gets too big for the regular view. Thanks!

Thank you for your kind words and sorry for my late response, I was on vacation.

As far as I am aware it is not possible to take a screenshot from the map(view). TLBE is using the take_screenshot function to take the screenshots and there is nothing about taking screenshots of the map.

You could try and setup a multiple camera rig, but the (fancy) trackers most likely won't keep them seamless and you'd need to stitch them together later (image manipulation is not part of the game's API), so it will be a huge bother...

TLBE could cut a screenshot into multiple screenshots, when it detects the 'screenshotted area' is too large, in an automated way. But I doubt the is much use/function for this as I noticed the screenshot become too large and you'd need to scale them down to put them in a video, resulting in too much details getting lost. (Besides you still needing to stitch them back together)
