Hi! If you read the BoA Manual, you'll see a walkthrough for a scnario, and in the end you'll see the maps of some levels. What I would like to know is how did he that? How can I port a town/outdoor map to a picture?

Or he "print-screened" and cropped the image to size?

He's been doing that since A1. I vaguely remember him saying that he uses an automated program to scroll through the zoomed out editor and take screenshots.

Not trying to drag up that old topic, but I'm an Exile, not an Avernum.

How about a 2d graphic set for Avernum Blades? Set all walls as blocked terrain, would this make importing easier?

It would still be all wierd & diagonal (probally even wierder as perspective would be messed up), but atleast u could explore forests! You can already choose your door bashers with my scripts, soon exile will return!
