Step 1. Download and install "FDB Extractor" from here.
http://www.solarstrike.net/phpBB3/viewt ... 258#p22258
Step 2. Start it and open "Runes of Magic/fdb/interface.fdb".
Step 3. Navigate to "interface\worldmap" and explore the folders.
Step 4. Right click the file or folders you want to extract and extract to somewhere such as you desktop.
Step 5. Find a program that opens dds files. The files are in dds format and in 12 peices per map. I have Nero Photosnap Viewer that came with Nero that opens the files. I just tried Windows Photo Viewer, it didn't work. If your system can't open them try doing a search online for what can open them.

What do you mean 3D? They are maps. Where have you seen 3D maps in Runes of Magic?
If your search results are about 3D then you are finding the wrong ones.
Maybe try the files on this site

okay, i think i formulated my question a bit false..
i am NOT searching the 2D map 'overviews' like this: runesofmagic.com/de/wallpaper,list11,1,illustration_worldmap.html
i search the 3D "Mesh Terrain" files of runes of magic...
i hope you do know what i mean now
thanks..

Ah... Well I'm not into the 3d stuff. They are probably in one of the fdb files in the fdb folder. You have FDB Extractor. Start searching.

before i going on to search them... are you shure, that they're in the .fdb files...?
maybe they're in the .wdb files in the wdb directory...
thanks

No, I'm not sure. I only said "look in fdb" because everything else we've used has been in there; the language files, the house models that we changed, the maps that that map addon uses, the loginxml files, etc. I don't think I ever noticed wdb folder before.
Luckily most things are named logically. If the name of the files in that folder sound like what you would expect of 3D "Mesh Terrain" then maybe that is where they are. Like I said, I don't know about 3D stuff.
