I downloaded Mercator's MapEdit version 2.1 and cannot figure out where in the program you convert a bitmap to a .mp file for civ2. Can someone help me figure it out? The readme isn't helping. I drew a bitmap using the default palette included in the editor. I'll upload it here just in case it becomes useful.

EDIT: I figured out you could 'save as' an .mp file. It looks like the editor didn't read it right because I ended up with forest where i had grass and grassland with river instead of ocean. My bitmap may have been too big because it got cut off a bit.

My map ended up getting distorted in an interesting way .... original bitmap as i drew it versus going thru the mapedit wringer, respectively. But switching the terrain got it to work.
