Snapshot with Map Labels

Post by taymaj »

I like using the snapshot feature to plan movement and keep track of troops. In Panzer Campaigns, it includes the map labels - useful for noting key locations, vp, or terrain. I can't seem to get the CWB feature to do the same. Does anyone know how to do this, short of individual screenshots?

In PzC, the snapshot records the map as it appears on the screen; i.e., if map labels are turned on, it will include them in the snapshot. If they are turned off, they will not be in the snapshot. I would have thought it would be the same in CWB?

This is not the case with CWB, I just tried with the CWB Demo, and had labels on but the snapshot did not captured the labels.

BTW, PzC, MC, and FWW work the same (i.e., labels in the snapshots), so they are a different game engine then CWB.

Note also that the NB also does not capture labels with snapshot. So it would be cool of both CWB and NB had that feature.

Thanks for the confirmation. I'll stick to screenshots for now!
