I have a problem, and I figured this would be the best place to look.
I downloaded "SCM to JPEG," but when I tested it, it only placed the player's starting points. I don't know about you, but I would like a utility that would allow me to get all the units' mini-map pics. Do you have any suggestions?

You could take a screenshot in starcraft or staredit. Thats the only thing you can do, I dont think theres any programs that do pictures too.

I've also tried to use SCM Draft to make an image, but it makes it like 8192 x 8192. I'd like to make an image the size of the minimap if possible.

Does SCMdraft actually export the units?
Well, you could just resize the image.
However, units wont show on minimap size. Its too small

There's a way to take a screen of the minimap, though.
"Print Screen" key above the "Insert", "Delete", "End", "Page Up/Down" and "Home" keys.
Then, open bitmap or something, and hit Ctrl+V.
Is that what you mean?

I thought it did. Or showed no units at all includeing startlocation. I know its differant and not just better resolution.

Scmjpeg makes large pics of the maps,but you can resize them. The minimap square won't be showed,however units and other stuff won't either.
Not very recommended for UMS maps.

The SCM > JPG converter we currently have in our downloads database is what I STRONGLY reccomend.
It adds an entry to your right click context menu, so you no longer have to scurry around and try and remember where your program is. Its the easiest to use and comes in 3 wonderful sizes.
Its fast and just plain darn good. Get it here:

Yeah i remember the BMP > SCX, thats how all those "Sexy Pics" were created, and the Monopoly 2 Map i believe...

I think monopoly 2 was created by hand. You may be right though. They might of done the center and edited the out side by hand.

Doing it by hand isn't hard, its just more timeconsumeing. I guess you saw the map i did by hand. (the one that started the mini map image craze)

Guys. Just use SCM Draft. Here is what i do.
(1) Take pic using scm draft
(2) view it so that the whole thing fits the screen. (use imaging or anything else)
(3) Take a screenshot of that.
(4) Cut off whatever isnt part of the map
(5) Observe. Also if thats to big you can make it even smaller. Click here

Dawg, what are you own about, that really doesn't make any sense to me, we've moved from taking pictures of maps, to putting pictures as maps!

No actually The bounds did it first and they copied off of me. I not meaning to be "self helping" but it isn't really debateable if you know the facts.
A quite a while ago (before all the bounds had to have pictures) (before starforges first release) I created a map called "Caprice" Witch is an intire map just dedicated to a picture. It was in reality a "sexy picture" map but it doesn't have nudity.
Anyways shortly after I released that and it began to be spread around the circle of mapmakers around me, it also took screen-shot-of-the-month on trickznstuff.net, Bounds started being released thats main feature was the mini map image some of the first ones were the Rurouni Kenshin Bounds. When this trend was at its high Vangaurd[T] decided he was going to make a program that specificly converts a bitmap to starcraft terrain. After he finished it He created 10 "sexy picture" maps witch are the ones your refering too. Those of course spread like wildfire as for 13 year old children could get free porn all around the world while playing there favorate game (what would you expect).
I have actually started numberous things some more debateable than others.
For your own ammusement, or proof if you will, I have attached the map. It isn't as good as the pictures created with BMP2SCM but keep in mind it was created using SCM Draft 1.0 with is Way-Less-Than-Perfect copy and paist feature. Note: Its best veiwed in starcraft.
Warning! The attached map contains a minimap image of a almost nude woman. It is not a nude image but you download at your own risk.

I would, but there isn't an attachment present, however, i'm inclined to leave the matter, meant no offense, just a self-loather of being the first for things, most of the time.
