How can export a detailed map?
« on: April 22, 2013, 04:53:58 pm »
When searching dwarf fortress maps on google images, I see the extremely large, detailed maps of what looks like the entire world and I can't figure out how to get them. I know that you can export maps in legendary mode that show trade, biomes, temperature, ect. but I don't know how to export the entire map how it would look in game. Any help would be appriciated.

Open up legends mode on the world you wish to export and then hit 'p' to export a basic map and general information.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

Ah thank you! I came across that before but I guess the map didnt look at detailed because it wasnt a big map. Thanks :)
