#    default parameter file for encoding empire games.  P frames are
# very cheap since most pixels remain exactly the same color.
# I frames (complete pictures) are expensive, so they are infrequent.
#    Inidividual maps are stored as gifs (a very compact storage format for
# this sort of data) and enlarged and converted on the fly to ppm format
# using various netpbm tools.
#     This file is modified by param.pl to generate the real .param file
# with the correct input filenames.

# This takes two files, fallmap*.gif and map*.gif.  Both are converted to ppm
# and enlarged by a factor of 4.  fallmap*.gif is also smoothed.  The two are
# then added together (causing sectors with high fallout to be brighter).
# Finally, the country names in over.mask and over.pbm are overlaid.
