Click here to see the profile of this user 		Re:A New Beginning: Suggestions? - 2007/11/06 15:07 Does anyone know how the map.dat file was generated? I believe it was from a .bmp of the world map, but I'm not sure how to take the BMP image into the format used by the game.

I do still have the map editor saved somewhere which would make editing the map much easier than editing the .dat file

I asked ReMoTe about this before but he didn't know either. The map.dat we are using is the one used by BCSF which I believe may have been made by Hanzie for his BC2. If it wasn't done by Hanzie it was probably done by Tr4c3r for BCSF.

Anyways, if anybody knows how to turn the BMP into the dat file, that would let us be able to change the map to whatever we want pretty easily.

you could always make a quick program that would take the image pixel by pixel and translate the colors to 00...etc

if i remember correctly the map was just black for ground, red for lava, grey for rocks, and a light green color for cc placement

oh hi

map.dat is 262144 bytes-- one for each square on the map (512 by 512)

each byte is (hex) 00, 01, or 02, representing ground, lava, rocks respectively

you can recreate the format using 3 colors in an 8-bit, 512px x 512px BMP


in saaay photoshop, an easy way to do it would be:
- make a map using any 3 colors
- go Image -> Mode -> Indexed Color
- go to Save As, pick BMP
- select Windows, 8-bit, FLIP ROW ORDER
- save
- switch colors around if 00,01,02 don't match ground,lava,rock
- remove ~800 byte BMP header/footer
- place in pie dish
- serve


Note to haxers, if you change your own map.dat, the server won't let you log in.
