Importing Maps
« on: July 15, 2008, 07:41:05 am »

With the newest version we now have a map drawing feature, which everyone will admit is really neat.  But if we can make our own maps, I think we should also be allowed to import our own maps as well.

Some may think this unneeded, what with seed values being so much smaller than a .bmp of a game world, and for new-world to new-world maps, I'd say you're right.  But there are a lot of old maps, on old versions, that are still really cool.  They have great layouts, or extreme features that are hard to find.  Allowing the ability to import a .bmp of an old-version game into the map editor, and have it fill it out for us, would be a great way to get those things without generating tons of worlds and hoping.

Edit: Errr, it seems I put this in the wrong board, it should have gone in suggestions.  Chalk that up to me not having my coffee yet...
