Allow maps to be defined in an ascii art file

v1 - Allow maps to be defined in an ascii art file

[Mike Kienenberger]

Example of how this works:

<map id="0" type="world" fname="custom-world.map" isAscii="true" width="19" height="17" levels="1"
borderbehavior="wrap" showavatar="true" music="1" tileset="base" tilemap="base">
</map>

custom-world.map:
##.####--===~~~~~=-
#$...;;;--===~~~~=-
.....;;;;-====~~~=-
.*........---==~~=-
............-====--
..........@..----^^
............::|:^^^
..+........:!!-:^#^
..........:!!!!:^^^
-.........::!!:::^^
===--|-...%::::::..
-..........^.......
...................
........CANDY......
.?.......[&].......
........LA.ND......
...................

subset of modified tilemap-base.xml:
[...]
<mapping symbol="~" tile="sea"/>
<mapping symbol="=" tile="water"/>
<mapping symbol="-" tile="shallows"/>
<mapping symbol=";" tile="swamp"/>
<mapping symbol="." tile="grass"/>
<mapping symbol=":" tile="brush"/>
<mapping symbol="!" tile="forest"/>
<mapping symbol="^" tile="hills"/>
<mapping symbol="#" tile="mountains"/>
<mapping symbol="$" tile="dungeon"/>
<mapping symbol="*" tile="city"/>
<mapping symbol="@" tile="castle"/>
<mapping symbol="+" tile="town"/>
<mapping symbol="[" tile="lcb_west"/>
<mapping symbol="&" tile="lcb_entrance"/>
<mapping symbol="]" tile="lcb_east"/>

As of version 1.2 the official way to modify maps is via TMX files.

I think it's safe to say after 14 years that it's no longer relevant to me
and it can safely be closed :)
