From Spring
Metal
Metal maps are used for the built in resourcing scheme (Metal/Energy), they define metal areas on a battlefield based upon the values in the red channel of the metal map. This image is an intermediary file compiled into the SMF file using MapConv or MapConvNG

Caution |
|---|---|
| There are several games for Spring which use their own resourcing system. If you are creating a map for one of those games a metal map may not be necessary, however it is always nice if you can make your maps as compatible with other games as possible, but this is a choice left entirely up to you. |
