It's in that 8/31 build effectively, those files supercede their namesakes in the source distro.

mother,

The reason I'm asking was in a older version you where
able to add metal spots on your map like the Geos. Is it possible
to add those features in?

No I know exactly what he is talking about... Neither of the 'improved' mapconvs made for the old format ever had the source released anywhere :/

General concensus that auto-splat-placement is the next feature on the list?

I'll take a look at it, don't see why it should be too difficult to "re" implement.

Can you give me a detailed walkthrough on how to properly set the tclap thing?

Too bad I erased my old copy of the sources... I had managed to compile mapconv, so I'll try to remember how I suceeded:

- downloading tclap and putting it in a tclap directory either under mapconv or under the directory above mapconv (I had to experiment with different locations for it before it worked, so I'm afraid you'll have to do the same)

- I also commented out a line which gave an error at compilation. It was just commenting out the line that the compiler pointed out, nothing more involved. It worked.

This doesn't replace a complete tutorial by mother, but it might get you on the right track.
