MAP.DAT
Appearance
This file is only used by tactical saves.
Length of wglob[2]*wglob[3]*wglob[4]*4 bytes.
The first 3 bytes indicate the width, length and height of the map module. After that, the actual cell data starts with each record containing 4 bytes. Each byte points to a different object in the MCD array summarized below.
- The first byte is the ground.
- The second is the west wall.
- The third is the north wall.
- The forth is the contents (not usable objects - dirt and stuff).
Tiles are stored in order of left to right, top to bottom, top floor to bottom floor.
Note: When opening map files with MS-EDIT, open it in 4-column widths, but remember that the ground tile of the cell will be found at the last byte in the row above.
