How to extract Map-Proprieties from *.map? (or is there a Map-Browser?)

[brotondi]

Hi

Thanks for the Forum!

I wrote a little Program to extract Map-Size, Max User etc. from MapCache.ini.

But it would be easier to extract this Informations direct from the *.map.

But how? I was not able to find this information...

Or is there already a map-Browser around somewhere?

Thanks for any help!

What exactly are you trying to do & why are you trying to do it?

Thanks for your reply.

I want to manage my around 500 downloaded Maps. Interesting points: How many Players, what dimensions (3200x3200 etc.), snapshot.

A little VB-program does most of the work, but first I have to create the mapcache.ini, correct Mapname/Mapfolder (sometimes dots in Foldernames or other foldername than mapname prevent the map to be loaded)...

It would be easier to do all in one step: Simply scan for *.map and read the infos. ... but I was not able to find out which bytes of this binary file are for dimensions etc.... seems not to easy...

Well, I'm afraid I don't know much about this stuff.

Mabey another member can help.

Sorry but that's not really what this forum is about. Try a programming forum.

?
Programming is not the Problem, but the format of the *.map...

Anyway, I flushed the last idea, and will keep my Exel-VB-Scribt.
... seems to be the first Map-Browser :)
