So you use .gif for maps? I assume then that a simple graphics editor is all I need to make a map of the Raynor Islands.
Now, where did I put that graphics editor. I think I installed an RPM for one.
.gifs, and map making.

You'll want to limit yourself to the general shape of the Raynor Isles on the MCS map, of course... then again, you're a clever one, so you might have already known that.
On the graphics format, there's not really any standard on that. If you're going for a raster format I'd recommend PNG because it's better than GIF and if there's someone here who *still* can't view PNG files we can freely laugh and throw rotten mangoes at them. Nick once made a cool map of Yardistan with different layers of an XCF (GIMP's native format) file representing things like cities, transportation, heights, etc.. I think I've seen maps in vector formats, too.
