Is there an easy way to extract game maps?

Hi GB Coding Nerds,

 

I don't know if this question is taboo, sensitive or all okay but I was wanting to doodle around with modifying missions and would want a mission map as a primary UI. Hoping it's easier than stiching together screenshots.

 

Cheers.

The map images are tiled in the files and do need to be stitched back together to get the full map, but that work was already done as part of the mission planner tool development. It is still 1CGS property so I'll send you a message rather than post it publicly.

The maps are available in .png and .jpg format if you looking to use it as a hardcopy reference.  If you want it as part of a mission editing or creating program, they are already in the sim's Mission Editor and in the Easy Mission Generator by SYN Vander, as well as Mission Planner which was discontinued but pick-up by another and is now available on Github.  If you are looking to create missions I recommend EMG, which has a thread on the Forum.  Just build several missions and put them in a folder and put it in your data/Missions folder in the sim.  To edit existing missions, Mission Editor would be the best bet.  Mission Planner can do some basic editing on the program's maps, but doesn't have the capability of the other two.
