problem with some maps "greying"

You have to write ".tga" and not ".TGA"

Just tell me which maps and I'll have a look at them!?

Generally, make sure to save as 24-/32-bit .tga with RGB colours (not indexed, e.g. Irfanview is notoriously misleading about this) with RLE compression (Run Length Encoding) and 0,0 to the lower left (if you can set this in your software).

ah, never mind. with dom3 being out next month, dom2's maps won't be used much longer

You can use Dom2 maps in Dom3, and I think many players will do so.
It may be even the case that the same error will appear with Dom3. On the other hand, there have been some changes to the graphics routines in that 'area' - Dom3 supports .rgb additionally to .tga graphics now ... .

Would be interesting to test, though. Therefore I would be glad if you could provide me with some details.

Just found this old thread.

Try the "Arduria" map found at http://www.illwinter.com/dom2/maps.html.

In Dom3 the map doesn't show at all. No big deal any more though.
