Hello, I'm looking for a copy of the in-game world map, preferably with all the icons, the jump points and outposts and such. Or just the map itself if that is easier. I was talking to Dev <GargajCNS> in IRC and he told me to make this post as he can make the map image.
My reason for wanting it is that I have a large color plotter at work and I want to print the world map out for my wall.
Thank you.

This map should have a cool logo and signatures from all the DEV's on it too...make it look a bit cooler hangin on that wall....
Just to add this: My plan (eventually) is to add this as a console command into the client so you can later do it yourself. Can't promise icons or labels though.
Oh and note that the image will be HUGE so such exports might take a while and possibly hang the client.

As far as signatures go, we started signing the posters Kalsius sent us, so as soon as we can get enough of the DEVs to do their errands in the office, you'll prolly get a piece - given that you show up for the next podcast recording

You, me, squaring off on the podcast -- things would get discussed, matters would get resolved, world hunger would cease to be a concern.
Isn't it possible to extract the high rez images out of the datafile which comes with the game? Read the right table and build a map?

This I would definitely hand out signed posters for!

even then, it would need to extract those maps.
each island is 2048x2048 pixels, 12MB as bitmap. thats only the colored altitude map.
there are several layers that would be intresting to get them seperated - like the buildings layer, impassable terrain, minerals (only the already scanned one, not the server data ofc), etc.
Oh, and just throw in all the mineral spawn sites too ... thanks
Ok, it doesn't hurt to ask, really 
maybe they are sleepy and click happy
Ask, and ye shall receive.

Both zip-files contain the terrain maps for all 12 islands, using the altitude coloring and hill shading as explained in this blog post. Next step is to add the static landmarks (terminals, outposts, teleports, ...).

Automatic export from the client, lossless, full map. Will add icons + labels if I can.
You guys are awesome! Thank you!

The map data is there, but the zone positions aren't.

Quick question about the mapdata; what's the Z resolution?
hmm, a greyscale raw of all islands without the embossing would be a great foundation for a supreme commander 80x80km map

16 bits.

Sorry, poor wording of my question. The world-distance between X and Y points in the grid appears to be 10m, what is the world-distance between points along the Z axis?
2.5m I think, but I'm not sure.

Thankyou.
So with today's patch, the command renderhugemap in the console will dump the very same image out for you.
It will occasionally get updated when I feel energetic and youthful.
Is there a map of the teleport routes?

Thankyou.
2.5m doesn't make sense, at least with my maths (or do I need to interpret the altitudes as fixed point munbers, i.e. 24.8)?
Deleted (duplicate post)

Apart from the ingame map? Not that I know of, but I should add it to the FOOM wiki.
In the meantime here's a spreadsheet with all the landmark (station, teleport) locations.
There is a map of teleport links on the wiki, but it's not that great. It's just a grab of the in-game map without labels, since turning them on pretty much obscures everything else. I'd like to see a nice, clean map with stations/outputs and teleports nicely labeled. *hint hint*
