<div class="IPBDescription">...make the good map overviews?</div> I see in some of the release threads with all textures and everything?
These are really good, but i have no idea how to make them.
Do you need an extra tool for them or what?

if you don't have a shortcut to ns already, open the games tab in steam, rightclick on NS and choose "create desktop shortcut".
After that go to that shortcut, and edit it's commandline to :
G:\Steam\STEAM.exe -applaunch 70 -game nsp -dev +map mymapname
you need to add the -dev parameter, aswell as +map yourmap

now you execute that and steam will automatically load that map.
When you're in the map, open the console and enter "dev_overview 1" there.
that will take you to an overviewposition above the map, with a green background.
now open the console again and type in "developer 0" so the overlay text in the upper left of your screen disappears.
And now you can simply make a screenshot, and you're done <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

dev_overview 2 also works and doesn't display any text
