Directly editing the DF map save
« on: June 22, 2010, 12:13:56 am »
Apparently, no one has done this. Seems very odd, it's a pretty obvious thing to do.

I was thinking, if I wanted to, say, make a magmatuct, it would be nice if we had the planned feature of being able to build things in Adventure mode. Then I had the idea of modifying the DF map DIRECTLY, using a 3rd party utility.

There's also the prospect of converting DF maps to VMF files and such, which would be ridiculously cool.

So, does anyone have any information on the format DF map information is stored in? I know it's compressed, but that's about as much as I know.

I dunno, you guys have survived Thomas the tank engine, golems, zombies, nuclear explosions, laser whales, and being on the same team as ragnarock.  I don't think something as tame as a world ending rain of lava will even slow you guys down.
