New maps
As each map occupies a considerable amount of space (several Mb), only
the map of Milan is provided with the OmniaMOD-V2 packet.
Maps are created in the following way.
Ø
Carry out the map scanning, with a resolution of at least
150 dpi
(dots per
inch) with
16 colours
(without ditchering).
Ø
Save the file in .BMP format.
Ø
Use the
BMP2CBM.EXE
program to export the BMP file in the format rec-
ognized by the Central Station (.CBM):
BMP2CBM <file .BMP source> <file .CBM destination>.
+
The BMP2CBM.EXE program is on the package installation directory,
whereas,
the .CBM file must be put on the \MAP
of the package installa-
tion directory.
For example, if the package has been installed on the \BENTELCS direc-
tory (default) and the MILANO.BMP file (result of the scanning of the map
of Milan) has been saved on the main directory (C:\), the previous com-
mand line reads:
C:\> BENTELCS\BMP2CBM MILANO.BMP \BENTELCS\MAP\MILANO.CBM.
+
The .BMP file can be cleared after it has been exported to the .CBM file, in
order to create space on the hard disk.
New Icons
One demonstrative icon is provided with the OmniaMOD-V2 package. It is
possible to create new icons with a specific program (e.g. Microangelo
).
New icons must be saved in formats .ICO 36 x 36 x 16 colours on the
\MAP
directory of the package installation directory.
