Height Map
Sure, I'd be happy to help!
Here's a heightmap for the 2012-05 patch dereth-height-2012-05.png (associated regular map is dereth-2012-05.png). The height is 0 for the water, up to 255 for the max height. I'm using the height for all three color channels, so it is effectively a greyscale image.
I have notes that "Adjacent pixels are 24 units apart. 24 * 8 = 192 per land block... 24 * 2041 = 48984 for the whole map. Heights are 2 * z... hopefully in the same units."
I could make the water areas transparent if you needed. Let me know if that works, or if you need anything else.
By the way, when you said "Retail CD", I don't suppose you meant the original release CD? I'd love to get my hands on those data files :) The earliest I have the the Dark Majesty ones.

Probably the easiest way would be to use Dropbox (http://www.dropbox.com). If you don't already use this, free accounts get 2 GB of storage, or if you sign up with this link <http://db.tt/db7Oafp> you'll get an extra 500 MB and I'll get an extra 1GB. Dropbox provides a folder that gets synced across all of your computers. You can share folders with other people, or put files in a public folder and then copy a public link to it, something like <http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7958574/ac/dungeon-00a2.png>. You can normally do that through the Finder (which isn't working for me), or through their website. I use it for work, to share files with other members of my team.
Alternatively, you can send me email at nygard@gmail.com and I'll set up an account where you can ftp the files.
I should only need the Retail files. I have the DM ones, and I'm sure I still have my TOD CDs. Thanks!
