Giant screenshot cut off at bottom and top

When taking a giant screenshot, the top and bottom are cut off.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open any park and take a giant screenshot from the option under the save menu
2. Observe how the top and bottom are missing

It happens especially on small maps.

In my experience, it happens just as often on big maps. It seems OpenRCT2 is ignoring the height of the land and scenery in the top corner, for starters. It's cutting off the screenshot at a certain height, maybe the default land level? Instead of taking into account what has been built in that corner. Doesn't explain missing stuff at the bottom though.

If there's no precise fix, I would really appreciate it if the giant screenshot function would add some margins at the top and bottom. Especially at the top, like at least 500 pixels to be save. It would be a big time saver for me. :)

You can pass image size manually to the screenshot command.

[Liampie]

Where and how can I do that?

[janisozaur]

openrct2 screenshot <file> <output_image> <width> <height> [<x> <y> <zoom> <rotation>]

[Broxzier]

You have to run that command from command prompt or powershell, not in-game. For the x and y coordinates you can use 'c' to center it, otherwise it uses the saved game's camera location.

[Liampie]

I'd have to guess what to enter for each of those things, including the size of the final image in pixels. That is not going to save time nor is it a fix

[Broxzier]

You can just enter very large numbers and then cut out the part you need with an image editor.

Requiring users (the majority of which have no coding experience) to open the game through a command prompt just to take a correct screenshot is crazy.

If this is a workaround and someone will be able to fix this at some point, state that. Right now it seems like you're saying "Oh, there's a way to do this already, just do it that way," instead of "We're gonna fix this and it should be fixed, but here's a way you can do it in the meantime."

[Broxzier]

@saxman1089 We're not saying that using the command is a fix. To help Liampie save some time, we're just suggesting another way of taking screenshots in the meantime. This will be fixed at some point. If it were impossible the issue should have been closed.

Thanks for clarifying!

does the command work in the ingame console though?

No, it's a shell command.

[Ryder17z]

Well, that's a bummer. I'll just wait for a fix then.

[Richard-L]

With the time that passed since this bug was reported, do we now understand what causes it?

[Broxzier]

It's probably the calculations for the viewport dimensions. For the bottom it should be simple, but for the top figuring out the exact height needed to get everything in will be tricky.

No, it's a shell command.

Would be nice to have it working in the console as well. but that's just my thought

Question regarding the command prompt solution mentioned above: Do I need to create a shortcut of the openrct2.exe, and add the parameters janisozaur mentioned - and can I then drag and drop an SV6 onto it?
Thanks for your help.

[janisozaur]

As long as it causes the path to sv6 to be provided at the expected position.
