Defcon Modsuite & Graphics Mods
This is the Zanzer Defcon modsuite's to make custom maps. The modsuites create coastlines, (borders) international, and is a city placer.
This translates into the games .dat documents titled "coastlines", "international", and "cities"
There is a "Read Me" document inside the folder to quickly in a few steps read How To use them.
As in zoom in and out of the application to zoom in and out of the map as you place coastline lines, border lines and place, and name cities.
There is an issue with the beta 1 in that you need to open the .dat document after your done and place a "b" and then space type "end" at the end of the document. To open the document right click on it and select open with Notepad.
You need to have a "blur" image of your map in the folder along with the 3 docs for the modsuite to display the map image for you to work on. Might be bit depth is not 24 or the wrong name if it won't display. I used the Modsuite-beta1 to make maps with. It is the 2 images below.

There are 3 individual additional mod tools
1.) dccityplacer,2.) dccoastlinedrawer,
3.) dcmodloader.
I have no idea what these do. The mod loader might actual be obsolete because the game has a mod loader patched in with version 1.2. The dcmodloader does contain 3 additional mods though in folders, one is donkeycon, another is extraterrestrial, and the 3rd is worldatwar mod. They are all graphics mods replacing ships, planes, units etc.. no maps.

Please be sure you practice good map design and do not just upload broken map mods to the internet. Introversion has 4 to download and I have made links to my google drive for all of the maps on this blog that I could find on the internet, along with other websites on the internet hosting these mods, don't go crazy making bad maps and water down what already exists for players. See the How To mod post and video. Travel_Nodes are the most difficult part.
