A text to map converter

lddw · Post by **lddw** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 6:13 pm

The last version is v6,0
This is a program wich converts a text file to a map

a # is a box
a X is a pyramid (not "x" but "X")
a 0 is no box

Sample:

######
000#000
000#000
000#000

This write a T with boxes.

The text file can be big, it´s not a problem.

Only put the text file in: "C:\map\map.txt"
Then run the program and it makes: "C:\map\map.bzw"

Yeah, source would be nice since I'm on Linux. I might make a PHP script kind of like this.

I´ve posted in the first post the last version with boxes and pyramids.

a # is a box
a X is a pyramid (not "x" but "X")
a 0 is no box

The zip file includes the source.

How about...

R, G, B, P for the respective bases,
a space for nothing instead of 0,
and | and - for a skinny wall?

Btw, when making your map.txt use a fixed width font.

Courier and Monaco are two that I know of.
(I prefer Monaco, size 9 but if I need a large text I use Courier)

no, but you can create a simple map with this Program and refine it later in a real bzw-editor
