A "virtual" 3-D landscape viewer for Talonsoft's BATTLEGROUND games and NiR Project Group add-on scenarios.

DESCRIPTION
BGViewer uses BATTLEGROUND scenario "main.map", "main1.bmp" and "jump1.bmp" files to generate a 3D landscape for "virtual" viewing. Once the terrain view is rendered as a screen image, it can be saved as an *.bmp graphic file. The output images from BGViewer can serve many uses:

tactical planning of games
terrain & LOS analysis
coordinate maneuvers & objectives with pbem partners
after-action reports
further editing, annotation & printing by most paint programs
conduct "virtual" tours of scenario battlefields
create visual aids for tutorials & training
study & illustrate actual historical battles
convert to .jpg or .gif format for web graphics

etc...

The BGViewer is not a map editor, it does not create map files for scenarios! Also, you do not need to install any BATTLEGROUND games to use the BGViewer. Just have BGViewer open & read the *.map files directly from the game CD.
