IWD Map Backgrounds?

Wondering if anyone has done the work of pulling all the IWD maps already? I recall that there's a tool to pull data from the IE games when they're installed but it's been a while.
I saw an old post of someone that had upscaled a few via AI, but not that was only a couple.

Thanks!

Maps like this, or the world map ?
(original is 2263 x 1763)



I extracted a few with NearInfinity some time ago, it's easy from what i recall.

Yup! Maps like that, the in-game ones. Care to share?
NearInfinity is probably the program I was thinking of. I used it in the past with BG1/2, prepping for a DnD game to use some pieces in.

In NearInfinity, open the chitin.key in your icewind dale game folder.
Look at the .tis files (in the left browser).
You can quickly check all of them that way to search for your favorites.
Click export (as .png) at the bottom.

A long time ago I had Larrel's Astrolabe room as my computer's desktop background at work.

The area images from Icewind Dale were--still are--better than the ones from Baldur's Gate.

Got it! Worked like a charm
