Is there a way to convert a .lvl file to a image file(.bmp, .gif, .jpg, .png, etc , etc). I'm sure there probably has to be some guy who thought "hey, i would like to make an image file out of the .lvl so the people playing can have a full map out of the area".

hopefully some one here can help.

Yes, there is a program called FACTs, you can grab it off of ssdownloads.com --

then click the 'deconvert' - and it'll create a 1024x1024 BMP file of your map.

Please, after you make it into a bmp, convert it to gif or png afterwards. Greatly reduces the size.

You can write your own LVL to IMG convertor. I attached the full file-format-information.

When I use the RipBMP thing, it just displays the tileset, not a radar view. Wouldn't it be easier to open the .lvl with MSPaint if all you wanted was the tileset?

it would be easier to just use FACTS

If you do make a lvl->image program nintendo64, please use PNG for the outputted image.

yeah, a program like this would be awesome, but wouldn't the *.png be VERY huge?

Except, it doesn't look like the original map. It just has colors for specific tiles.

personally I would reduce the palette to two colors

black and gray

Cyan, if you had the full map it would take a while to go through all the printouts before you can say over teamspeak 'it's on page 5 near the bottom right'.

And why is Mine GO BOOM signing his posts with '-nintendo64'?
