ok, I think I found a way to parse in the data....

1. Get CorelDraw and load the Map file.
2. save the map file as *.xwd (windows dump file format)
3. open the file with something like ultraedit or so in HEX-Format
4. in the first 10-20 blocks you will find the meta information (size in pixel etc)
5. after that you get each pixel using RGB and the color strength...
voila:
now you can use something like C# or Java and read out the content ;)
The result can be inserted into the database and then you can use it for some kind of online game....

the only thing I need is now something like a description for the regions vegetation etc in the TGA pictures (map_regions.tga, map_climates.tga etc...)


Do you have any information about this ????

BTW: If anyone is a specialist in OracleXE 10g and /or .NET C# freak...
i could need any help I can get...
;)
