GeoSphere Worldmap's

Summary

Zone mapping:
The Lon/X direction of a zone-rectangle is used to indicate a map-boundry crossing face.
P2x-P1x = pos = normal face, P2x-P1x = neg = map-border crossing. (the diff-value plays no role)
(TFTD seems to have some wrongly placed zones in relation to this)

Overlapping zones:
First(or lower id value) takes precedents over later zones.

No zone: (Regional zones Only)
In the case there is no Zone, the first zone in the list is taken as default fallback.
(in ufo this is only a small region, in TFTD this is a lot of space that is targeted as 'North Atlantic')

Probably wrongly mapped zones:
TFTD: 'ICELANDIC UNION' for sure, 'USA' looks odd.

- XCOM_GeoMapImager. (build 21)
- Utility to convert X-COM1 and X-COM2 Geosphere worldmap data into image-maps.
- Currently only supports the CE version of UFO and TFTD.
- - currently no pre-checks are made to verify the used files or encountered data content.
- For the image generating this program uses ImageMagick.
- so before using XCOM_GMI you need to pickup a copy of ImageMagick and install it.
- Supported data:
- - Ground Map: gray-scale wireframe only at the moment.
- - Regional Zones: no Regional name tags, but zones use same colors as in X-COM.
- - Country Zones: no Country name tags, but zones use same colors as in X-COM.
- - Border/River lines.
- maybe later:
- - City locations/names.
- - Zone name-tag locations/names.
- Additional info:
- - coordinate grid image generator.
- - adjustable Lon/X offset.
- - adjustable Face-Number render for Geosphere ground-grid. (merged or as separated image)
- * generated images are uncompressed tga's -> 175MB for a full set.
- Program is written in AutoIt, and is limited to windows Xp and higher.
- - so no Windows 9x or Windows NT 4.0 support.
