Importing maps from external map editor

by Keith Talbot · in Torque Game Builder · 09/29/2009 (5:46 am) · 2 replies

I have a series of maps for a game which where done in mappy map editor, I was wanting to know if it was possible to import them as a Tilemap into TGB as I would really rather not have to redo all 10 or more maps that I have already built.

    If you have the source code you could write an importer yourself. Other than that I don't think anything else exists. If mappy supports ISO I just might be willing to collaborate with you here on the forum. My time is limited but I usually get a few hours to program each week.

    Well, you'd have to remake them or write your own mappy importer which may be tricky to do. It'd be easier to make a mappy format->TGB level converter than an actual importer if you insist on using those mappy files. Honestly though if I were in your situation I'd probably just remake the levels in the TGB editor. It'd be faster and easier in my opinion..
