I want to print quality PR maps

Post by joetuffguy »

Is there a better way (higher resolution) to print Project Reality maps besides printing screen shots? Specifically, I want to print the maps we pull up to view when we are in game complete with grid coordinates. I seriously need something to stare at while I'm at work.

Short of opening the editor and creating a mini map all over again from the terrain the highest resolution you can get is the 1024x1024 maps located in the client.zip file of every map folder.

You will need a program like paint.net to read .dds files easily.

For example the Al Basrah map is located in C:/BF2/Mods/PR/levels/albasrah/client.zip/hud/minimap

Sadly you do loose the grid-lines as it's an overlay as far as I know, but should be no issue to put them back on.

EDIT: I'm sure someone would have done this already though and has a handy link...

There was a teaser thread from one of the DEVs not long ago before .9 came out which had pictures of all of the maps.


Someone want to find that? The pictures were very large.

Here are all the maps in .jpg form of the 1024 x 1024 (except for Operation Archer, which for some reason, is tiny)

Oops, I'm sure there was a second map link somewhere in the modding forum where people were trying to make topographical maps. I'd search but I'm lazy and very tired.

The map overviews are useless for tactical planning, they aren't the in game mini-maps.

There are a few dds converters that will export the dds minimap as a high resolution png. I haven't done any other of them, but I know that Jabal 2's dds was around 4000x4000.

From there you can manually add flag icons of your own; the image is completely barren beside the map itself (no grids, no flags, etc.)
