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. Disclaimer: this software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. Use at your own risk.

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.
