Tac, this is what i do from now on.
I use CorelDraw9 and corelPaint.
OK, I do this now for all maps.
First you need to make a greyscale .BMP 1024x1024 so it's importable threw mapmaker. You can convert the map you have from the other program but make sure it's greyscale.
Ok open up a NEW page in CorelPaint ( or any other art program) set the new page to 1024x1024 pixels. now paste your greyscale map into it and save as EXample call it PAC512. Now open your original greyscale map AND open a new page in Corelpaint to greyscale 1024x1024 pixels. Resample your ORiginal greyscale map to 256 x 256 pixels, Cut and paste it into the new page 1024X1024 and it will Automatically center it into it, Save as PAC256. Now open a new page greyscale 1024x1024 pixels. and open your Original greyscale map, Resample it to 128x128 pixels, NOW cut and paste into the 1024x1024, again it will auto center, save as PAC128. Now you have 3 maps of the SAME map, one each of 128,256,and 512 in size, run each .BMP threw the mapmaker and you will have the same map but in those 3 sizes, NOW choose what size you THINK the map is best suited for. and the original color map or greyscale can be used for all 3.
WHEW! understand that??
thats the way i am making maps now, So they can be used for MA, CT or H2h, or what ever.
