1) Maps can only be 800x599 maximum (should be 1600x1200).
Phil_D fixed that in the new one. In fact I think it can do twice that big. And all of the capabilities of the old dommap are in the new one so yes it should be able to create the kindof maps you want. I just dont generate them that way because Im too lazy to do anything with a partially done map. Is this closer?

I don't know the capabilties of Phil's Version because I don't run Linux, and not many people do.
Hmmm I think I would have worded that as not many Users do. Even thats changing rapidly since many people run linux now as just a desktop workstation rather than a server. But Im just being picky.

If PhilD's hack can run the -d 0 command-line switch, then all we need is someone who runs a linux machine to create a bunch of "base maps" for us (along with Illwinter converting the xcf files).
Alot of us can do the conVersion. Many programmers use GIMP. Being a free and powerful paint program doesnt hurt either.

Here is a conVersion for you. You might do some other formats for others.
