Grab yourself a copy of Daishiva's MapView program from our files section. (You'll also need the Microsoft.NET framework too). After installing the application, go to a map and then go File --> Save Image (See pic below). This will allow you to save the map as a .GIF file which you can then change to a different format if necessary. All of this is manual though, and you can't save all the images in a folder to gif. Small price to pay though.

If you're trying to remake it accurately, you'll need to extract the individual sprites which make up the map...

 

Maps are made up of MCD files, which define every individual tile. For example, they keep track of the difference between a door you can open, a wall you can shoot through, a wall that's indestructable, some corn you can set fire to....

 

Then you've got the PCK files which hold all the individual sprites that represent each tile... PCKView can rip these.

 

Then there's the MAP files which tell the game where all these tiles are placed around the battlescape.
