Hi there. Been lurking around this place for sometime using the stuff that people upload here. But since I now really started playing EQ 2 again I gotten a interrest in making maps again. I have started to look into the metho used by people here, but I wanted to hear if someone know or got plans about a mapper program similar to the one people have been using in Dark ages of camelot.
Like this:

( the original from randomly.org is down. It was pure python console based )
This program extracts the zones fra daoc NIF files and recreates them top down in 3D. This made it possible to make very beutiful maps..
I was one of the first to make maps for DAoC with it(the original version and my maps are way outdated now, but thats beside the point) at
http://daoc.platoon.dk/midgard.html.
I would love to be able to make maps like that again. In 3D and layers so they could be made look cool in a program like photoshop.. I have zero knowledged of how to make a program like this or if its even possible in EQ 2. But I could always hope someone knew about something similair for eq or might wanted to pick it up.
