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.

Utility to convert X-COM UFO and TFTD Geosphere-Worldmap data into image-maps.

Supports CE And multiple Dos version's of UFO and TFTD.

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 wire-frame 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.
