Here is the BMP to WBS Converter.
With this simple tool written in Python, you can make maps and scenarios just with some bitmaps and storing scenario data info the scenario file.
The zip contains the tutorial Mapmaking And Scenario Design.pdf, which contains installation instructions and that will explain step-by-step how to make a simple scenario, and the sample bitmaps and scenario files produced in the tutorial.

You should submit it to the directory, and you should have had the thread prefixed [Utility].

This is odd. I downloaded Python 2.4.1 and pyPIL 1.1.5 for Python 2.4, yet when I run the program, it shuts down.
Here's the grand total of the log:
code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python24\BMPtoWBSConverter186.py", line 8, in ?
import wx
ImportError: No module named wx
Hm. What am I doing wrong?

You seem to need the wx python librtary. It is for making a userinterface.

I am having the same problem.
I really want to make a smaller earth map that will not freze up my system.

I don't remember about that...
have you tried copying your assets\python\system\wx folder as a Python24 subfolder?

Yes, you have to copy the wx folder from Assets/Python/System to C:\Python24 for this to work.

How do you tell what the co-ordinate values are when in WBS mode so that you can assign starting positions?

it's the feature variety.
It can be 0, 1 or 2.
The converter assigns automatically the variety judging on terrain and latitude seems to have an effect too. But you can edit the value editing the WBS with notepad

Does anyone know why when I convert a .bmp and load up the game, it immediately says that I have been defeated and closes?

I will download it ASAP.
). They should be released before too long.
I'm sure it'll get fixed in a patch, but for now you'll have to guess or count manually 
Temporarily placing some fallout or some other rare feature in the tiles you want to use as starting locs would be a good workaround though.
I'm playing with the program now, but with 512 MB RAM and only 45 % of it available with windows running(before starting any programs), I can't have too large a size...
