I've been wondering about this for some time now, what is/was the purpose of the bg images?

while going thru the code i noticed that they are pgm's which i guess would work very well for making the maps more 3d like. I was thinking about writing some code that would sample the coordinates to map out the peaks/holes as the player runs around maybe in some 100x100 or 200x200 grid and then either periodically or just before zoning out,store it as pgm image.

My skills in 3D modeling are average at best, but i can't help my self dreaming about automatic map generation :D
