That's the worst! :) Hopefully, I can take out a little of the sting by letting you know that I've made good progress with the GIS -> Xconq import scipt. Here's the original landcover image I'm working with (review again): http://wiki.xconqgis.org/images/grass_tutorial/screen12.jpg Here's what I have currently in Xconq: http://wiki.xconqgis.org/images/gis_to_xconq.jpg You can discern the similarities. Everything looks shifted to the right and leaning as Xconq uses the Cartesian oblique coordinate system; I must translate the ascii source file before I write the Xconq terrain file. It's important to note that the Xconq map was automatically created exclusively with my script. I speculate that I may someday have a "map making" web interface. You should be able to simply enter the lat/long of your desired map along with the desired grid size and get the Xconq terrain map and image out. Kind of like an Xconq map vending machine.
