Parsing a map file

[ffourcad]

Hello, I would like to parse and update a map file to add some random objects on the floor.
Is there any reference document to help me, or should reverse engineer the file format ?

No reference documentation is available. The map format is simply JSON.

[ffourcad]

yes, I figured it out, but the "keys" are not self-explanatory, so it's not obvious what they mean, and there are some things that are in the lib file too.

Hi,

I try to override the loadMapData of OpenSpaceExtension to store maps in a database;

This method should be overridden by the OpenSpace Extension child class in case maps are stored in a custom way (for example a database), to load and return their data properly.

But even if i understand the return object is a String (JSon Map data) like the content of *.map files generated by OpenSpace Editor, i dont understand how to generate my own return object.

Is there any explanations somehere on how to generate JSON like valid map data ?

Edit: An explanation for keys and associated data

Easiest way to work out the meaning of the JSON keys / attributes is just to create a test map in the editor and then cross-reference the JSON with any items you put on the map.

Like Bax says, no documentation, this goes beyond the standard way of working with OS, but, isn't that hard to work out.
