Default Re: Chlanda ...

Hello.
Apparently, SPWW2/WinMBT game maps can also be made from BMP images. However, the process is quite long and requires committing to making scen. files to facilitate the conversion of Topographic/road maps from previous versions of SP123 to SPWW2.
Lacking a one step creation, it is clear that only small battle fields - Operations - can be attempted. Afterall opening and converting 700+ files is quite simply, an inefficient use of game time!!

In a previous post I asked if maybe SPCAMO could facilitate the update and inclusion of the editors in CD form.
If not, how about if SPCAMO were to instead develop a program that would scan an image, then create the scen or map file.
Already there exists voice recognition software; OCR and handwriting recognition software; not mention that a piece of music can be scanned then played by some digital music programs like Sibelius [html even].
-colors for roads/towns/rivers/flags/reinforcement-retreat flags/terrain and buildings
-for units and formations
-colours for supply and damage etc
with associated icons.

Possible?
