Greetings!
Maybe someone has done this before, but it should amuse...
I took a screenshot, doubled its height, rotated it 45° anticlockwise, then shrunk it back down a bit, and clipped around the tiles I was interested in. Result: a rectangular section of tiles aligned to the axes of the image - no waste trying to fit a diamond into a square. The quality's not brilliant, of course.

Re: Plan-view screenshot
First of all, make sure you convert the image to RGB from indexed. Also, instead of doubling the height, try halving the width. That's what I did some time ago, and the results are much better.
The first screenshot below is one I made just now. I actually had one of a 512x512 map but I deleted that a couple of days ago.
You can also do the width halving method to compose full minimaps. The only problem is, they need to be left at the 45° angle position. Otherwise, the pixels get distorted.

Yes, that helps a lot.kramer wrote:First of all, make sure you convert the image to RGB from indexed.
Hmm, comparing the attached files created with the Gimp, I'd say double-heighting is just slightly better. Maybe it depends on tools...kramer wrote:Also, instead of doubling the height, try halving the width. That's what I did some time ago, and the results are much better.

FlatTTD! Hope nobody will ask for a patch!
Even though I made an attempt on something similar quite a time ago.
