Great work, chris28 !

Try this : PCK_VIEW

I will try to explain my method :
Desert.mcd has 42 records, Urban.mcd has 111. So I copyed the 42 desert.pck tiles to the first 42 urban.pck tiles using the good old dos pck.view. Then I renamed urban.pck, urban.mcd and urban.tab to desert.pck, desert.mcd and desert.tab. Using daishivas pck.view I overwrited the rest of the tiles with tiles from other tilesets. Some of the map files looked a little bit strange. I corrected that with map.view. Last step was to correct the terrain attributes of each tile with MCDEdit.
Unfortunately it is not possible to load an ufo map because of exceeding the limits.
That would be true...
also your MCD's for the desert images would be missing the corect LOFT and other Map Control Data that fits with the images

MCD files contain variable number of MCD records. Each record is 62 bytes long and have the following format
@ BladeFireLight
Do you know whether there is a possibility to increase the number of records in a MCD file ?
Unfortunately the editor is not capable to do that.

For editing MCD Files I suggest : MCDEdit
-
a month ? Try Paint Shop Pro Batch Conversion to convert the bmp files to gif format

@ BladeFireLight
That`s exactly what I did. The tileset is using TFTD graphics with a remaped palette.
As you see, i can use that new terrain.

But every try to replace desert terrain ends in a completely messed graphic.

@ BladeFireLight
You are right. I replaced the tiles in ASUNK.PCK with tiles from PORT01.PCK and PORT02.PCK. There is also a need to use MCDedit to change the attributes of the tiles in ASUNK.MCD. Now I can replace sunken galleon terrain with my own terrain and it works also in game.
But it could not replace the desert terrain as I hoped. If I want to do that, I have to do the same work on DESERT.PCK and DESERT.MCD.
I am not sure if the pallettes are really incompatible. Because I use UFO and TFTD terrains in my hybridgame, generated with xcomutil and there is no problem with the colors.
@ daishiva
Thanks for the compliment.
You are completely right ! The latest version of the map looks like this.

At the moment I am working on a new tile set. Some kind of abandoned industrial park.
It is a lot of work to do, but i hope it could replace one of those boring terrains like desert.

Well, as I posted already in the modders forum, i have complet sets (ingame pictures and inventory screen pictures) for arctic-, jungle-, desert- and urbancamo ready.
Ok, those are not the original xcom uniforms, but such an auto-switching program could be very useful.
-
my uniform mods (inventory screen and ingame pictures) are available now.

Of course, if you send me an E-mail....

But in this case, it does not look anymore like a camouflage dress . Let me complete my work first, then i can do an attempt to create a personal armor covering the whole body.
Downloadable in a few days :

Well, at the moment only the arctic camo is available. But I can send it to you if you want to do a betatest.

Seems to be very useful. Thanks for this cool editor.
-
I am also very interested in such a program.
-
ok, i will complete my work on inventory screen pictures. I could put it on a webpage, but where ? :angel:
I am also working on appropriate ingame pictures.

Because I hate those ugly flying suits, i decided to create some new uniforms. What do you think about it ?
