ZeusMapper is a small program to create PNG minimaps directly from Zeus scenarios (.pak), map files (.map) and saved games (.sav). The created images look exactly like the in-game minimap. For adventures, the colony maps are also viewable.
Installation and usage
Simply unzip the file somewhere and run ZeusMapper.exe.
More information (plus source code) can be found here.
Changelog
Version 1.0, 2007-01-24
First release
Version 1.2, 2008-01-16
- The houses on the minimaps of certain Greek saved games were improperly showing as Atlantean, this is no longer the case
- Fixed a few memory leaks
- The program no longer requires additional DLLs to be installed
This is a wonderful utility tool for the game. It allows us to add an extra visual element to the saved cities that we share with the world-wide player community. The utility program is easy to use and well-documented.
Additional Comments:
The highest accolades go to Pecunia for her initiative and skill - not to mention her thoughtfulness in sharing this with fans of Zeus and Poseidon.
