Hi,

I didn't know where to post it, but I figured that since the worldmap issues topic is pinned here, I might as well put this here as well :)

Is it possible to get the BP-BGT worldmap v3, preferrably with all icons shown, as a bmp or jpg somewhere? It'd be cool to be able to check it out outside of the game itself and see an overview of where everything goes :)

Thanks!

It isn't a bitmap file. It is in MOS file format. DLTCEP will allow you to view it as a MOS and convert it to BMP. However, this won't show the icons, they aren't really on the map anyway. Another file, Worldmap.WMP stores the X.Y coordinates of each icon and whether to reveal it or not.

A slow method would be to use IETME. This allows you to see the map (but only has a 640x480 window which can't be resized) with the icons on it. You could use Print Screen and capture each part of the map, use Paint or some other bitmap editor to paste them all together, and you would then have what you are asking for.

Tired of Bhaal? Try some classics mods instead:

Hi, sorry for replying late :(

Didn't I just read the same question in the CtB forum? Anyway, only way right now is to do as Sir BillyBob describes and yes, the worldmap icons are a separate issue.

As I said over at the CtB forum, I will eventually add an extraction tool to the mod, but not 'soon', maybe next year or so :ninja:

Cheers,

Yacomo
