Where is map data stored?

[gooby]

Was wondering where map data was stored?

Answer:  \Server\resources\gamedata.db

 

And how can I structure a text file to be able to import map data to the db?

If you knew how to create said binary files.. yes?

But that would again require you to look at how the map data is saved in the server.

 

I feel like the ''easiest'' way to do this would be to write an import module for the editor that reads data, transposes it to an Intersect map and saves it.

I'm afraid that's no simple matter, as the data for maps is stored in a data blob..

Which essentially means your map data looks like this:

I would suggest you look at the source and how it saves the map data, then make an import procedure based on the database code provided if you REALLY want to import stuff. 

It's likely not going to be easy though.

would it be easier with a binary file?
