New mapping functionality in CreepTD 1.0 (+PHP library)
CreepTD 1.0 will also add some extended mapping functionality. It will still take some time to complete 1.0, but as far as I can tell it will contain the folllowing (new) features in map file formatting:
[quote]The initial declarations "map_mapname.jpg", "SET_ALPHA_BACKGROUND_COLOR:OFF" and similar are deprecated and no longer used. Instead the map image is always map_{lowerCaseMapname}.jpg or coop_{lowerCaseMapname}.jpg e.g. {mapfilenameWithout.map}.jpg. The map thumbnail's file name is equal to the map image's file name. Both map image and thumbnail image are no longer declared in the .map-file.
Map file syntax:
This paragraph has been moved to the CreepTD Developer Central.
The new mapping format is completely backward compatible. And if you are deeper into it: Of course I will supply an annotated two-step-parser, a recursive depth-calculator and a validator with the release of the 1.0 sources.
Update: PHP library pre-released!
Please share your thoughts on the upcoming features, so I may correct some point I may be missing.
Cheers

Think it, design it, build it, run it. That's what I do.
