As for the mapstuff files, xcf is GIMP format, which neither I nor many gamers use. So if you could convert them to something like tga or bmp for us that would be great!

Note that Gimp is free, so you can use it. But I'd understand if you didn't want to switch from your favorite program.

I don't see a Version mentioned. I downloaded it from dominionsx I think, and ran it under WinXP. Worked fine...at least for creating the picture file. The map file is there, and full of text, but I have no idea if Dom2 will actually read it correctly. It has a bunch of "neighbor" and "setland" stuff in it... I run it and it pops up in a DOS box, then produces random.tga and random.map files.

That's most likely the original dommap program, which is for dom1 maps. Look at the first line of the .map file: the new Version outputs something like "#dom2title random". It will produce .map files that can be used right out of the box to play ugly games, but then you can do almost whatever you like to the .tga file to make it bearable.

The new Version is available here .
