I use zMUD to make my maps. The problem I'm having is a mate wants the maps for offline use. I figured I could simply turn my maps into .jpg/.gif format. Problem is: I dont know how to do that. is there a way zMUD's mapper can do this?

as far as i know you cant export maps in Zmud in any image format.

You can how ever get a hold of Zmapper and use the export to gif there.

The only way to put your maps as an image using zMUD's mapper is to take a screen shot by using the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard and then using an image editing program to paste the image and save it. This is not the best method since your map may not appear completely.

However, like Morten said, you may want to check out zMapper which, among many other things, lets you export maps to gif format.

You could try to manually convert your maps.

Run zsConvert which will be in your zmud install directory.
It can convert the map zone files and the master map file.

As with anything make a backup of your work before doing anything
upgrade.

The current version of zsConvert does not convert the maps from version 6.16 correctly. It adds a room script to each room so the word ALL is sent to the mud every time you move rooms. Zugg is aware of this, hopefully it will be fixed in the next beta.
