BMP elevation maps...
« on: June 18, 2001, 11:24:00 AM »
Hi all,
   I'm making a tactical navigational map (kneeboard-style, for the AH clipboard and for printing) of the current islands terrain. It'll be based on the style of actual aeronautical charts.

   Question is... can I get a BMP elevation map of it, or is there a way to extract something similar from the terrain editor? I'm prepared to trace it out in a drawing program, but if I can save a step or two I will   :) .

I will be more than happy to share the finished map (i'm thinking PDF) if someone will post it on their site.

Thanks in advance.

We all have a blind date with Destiny... and it looks like she's ordered the lobster.

I'm guessing that you need to get the files from whoever made the terrain.

As far as I know you can't open a .res file.

If there is a program that can open a .res file I would love to know.
