Thats about standard. The DomMap generator was for Dom1 which did things differently.
The .map will be bad because #title needs to be #dom2title, and I think you have to add #domVersion 150 and #defaultmapzoom 1.5
The problem with the tga is that it tries to place all the capitals and put great big grey flags on each one. The row of color-code dots up in the upper-left corner which Dom1 wanted might be messing up Dom2.
Ive edited out the dots, and with smaller maps Ive gotten it to read in though it takes forever to come up. Flipping it vertically actually did help (thanks Arralen) since Dom2 numbers things in reverse but it still wasnt playable.
