Thanks for the information but I cant parse data out of an image file....
at least I cant see a way to do that....
What I just need is just a format to insert the information for tile xx:yy into a database. May I ask how you create your map? Do you use something like Coreldraw?

What I am planning to do is to create some kind of EB online ... (ok, real time battles cant be done ;) but most of the rest ....
