MAPS
General Information
Pre-generated Battlescape terrain blocks (.MAP). These are filled in with terrain tiles. A few dozen blocks make up a battlescape. The .MAP files contain all the levels of that particular section of the battlescape map.
Aside from a three byte header indicating their length, width and height, .MAP files use the same format as MAP.DAT.
