ExploreMap's configuration options:
#****************************************************************
# snip *
#****************************************************************
# The next 2 options deal with PHOST alliances. They won't work in
# HOST games.

# The "ShareAlliedPlanets" option will add the position of all allied
# planets to the map if the planetary level of the alliance is
# enabled.

ShareAlliedPlanets = Yes

# The "ShareScannedPlanets" option will add the position of all planets
# scanned by an ally to the map if the vision level of the alliance is
# enabled.

ShareScannedPlanets = Yes
#****************************************************************
# snip *
#****************************************************************

Regards, Heiko

This depends on whether your map file comes to you as XYPLAN.DAT or
XYPLANx.DAT (where x is your race number). If it comes as XYPLANx.DAT,
just put both your map file and your ally's map file into your game
dir, and VPA will read them both. (Do this every turn.)

If it comes as XYPLAN.DAT, you will need to follow Heiko's
instructions above.

Make sure your map.ini file is correct: for XYPLANx.DAT maps, you need
the line

Explore = Yes

in map.ini (but for normal XYPLAN.DAT maps, you don't).
