Thank you for clarification.

Okay, I'll bump it.. But it will take some time to recalculate and test zonerects, because it's not 4:3.

Also 1600x1200 .dds weights 937.5kB, and forum restriction for .dds attached files is 638kB. Not a prob, will load zipped version, just noting it.

Yes, fully tested. As for quadratics, the only map .dds I found out of .vpk files was eq2\UI\NewMapSys\images\maps2\antonica_qeynos_continent_explored.dds -- 1600x1200, so I presumed any proportion is good, and tested it. I think you can use any 4*m x 4*n size (.dds format restriction).
