As I mentioned, I modified the format to include things I needed. One of
the things I added was #-lines for comments. I added a number of fields
and values that I needed to render the tiles properly.
I don't actually use TileDesigner to render the tiles, but my custom perl
code which reads the modified TileDesigner format and generates
Postscript. The perl internals were derived from the original Delphi code,
but a number of rendering primitives were added and a Posctscript renderer
was added to generate print-quality tile. I sent the PS rendering code
back to Marco, and I think he was working to integrate it into his Delphi
code, but I haven't followed that closely. Since then, I loaded the
TileDesigner data into an Informix database which is my authoritive copy,
and I have import/export tools to my modified .18t format. The
in-database version has additional data that was calculated on the fly by
the layout code, so I could tweak it manually and mark it as no longer
automatically generated.
