About LocationMaps

[Rover]

Hello everyone.

I have a question: I've noticed that the terrains in SF2 contain an item called "LocationMap" in their main .INI file (for example, in Desert.INI), which requires a .BMP image file. Does anyone know what it's for, how it works, and how to implement its use in new scenarios?

Thanks in advance.

The LocationMap is not part of all SF2 terrains. The game works well without it, because the location of a target area is also defined in the target.ini and in the Nations.ini of the terrain.

Thank you very much for your answer. Yes, you're right. But the reason for I asked for LocationMap, is because IsraelME terraing has Nations.ini, Target.ini, where locations are defined, BUT it also has ISRAEL_LOCATION.BMP, and this why I asked for: if IsraelMe has Nations.INI, Target.INi AND location.bmp, I think that the locationmap has a specific function the improves the terrain (may be). Otherwise, there is no sense to have it. But, just I'm guessing.
