MGS - Map Generation Script

Well, I'm making this program that can compile a map from a script. Alot of people might first think we already have OME, so we wouldn't need this. But does OME have a add tree button? No it dosn't. Does this have one? No. The reason I bring that up is that in the program I'm making I plan to allow people to make functions. The main preset function is "addbrick(int x,int y,int z,string type)" for example "addbrick(51,61,12,water);" would add a block of water at 51,61,12. You could make a add-tree fucntion that would add a tree. So all you must do is "addtree(10,10,35);" to add a tree. (once you made the addtree() function)



I plan to release a .exe of it soon, possibly in a few hours. I do have some questions about the first block of hex in the uncompressed map file, but I hope to solve them myself. Also, any suggestions?


Sample file:

mapauthor="Azjherben";
maptitle="Sample map.";
mapsize=(256,256,64);

funt tree(int x,int y,int z)
addbrick(x,y,z,wood);
addbrick(x+1,y+1,z+1,wood);
addbrick(x+2,y+2,z+2,wood);
addbrick(x+3,y+3,z+3,wood);
addbrick(x+4,y+4,z+4,wood);
addbrick(x+5,y+5,z+5,wood);
addbrick(x+6,y+6,z+6,wood);


~~ alot of addbrick(x+#,y+#,z+#,leaves); here

end


~~ other map generation things here

tree(45,64,32);

Find the server_level.dat and delete it.
Then put a new maop in the folder.
And rename that server_level.dat

Oh yeah, the site is up but I'm working on even more secure ways to make sure olny .dat files can be uploaded.

.

Going around upgrading everyone to member isn't much harder than letting peoiple out of a spawn prision.

I understood that and it seems like a good idea.

You might want to have multiple people do that. *hint, hint*

I know, if I choose to do this, I'll certainly choose some mods. :wink.gif:

Having a simple check for if there is something below it and if not moving there is extremply simple, olny one line in most programming languages, but I suppose it is the basic element in any physics.

You added one. Good.
I need alot of people to try, as someone had a problem with a ligit map being rejected as a false .dat



Also, I could implement a system where I check the uploads personally, if they are crappy or broken they would be deleted and etc.

You still can't view the list of maps.

http://azjherben.org/MCMaps/view.php


There are none though to see, if that's what your thinking.

There, try to make a .php file with word/wordpad/notepad etc. the change it to .dat and upload it. It should be rejected as a false .dat file.

Oh, right, like just write a php file and change it to .dat then open it up.....




So, if I can find a way to stop that do I still have to redo everything else in SQL?

I use MySQL databases alot, so I could rig that up.


In fact, that would be much easier!

Okay then.
Anyway, I'm going to take a quick break from the webpage.
And yes, I know the view.php page is filled with errors.
(I'm was editing it and am in the middle of adding things.)
