Re: [Enigma-devel] Enigma 1.10, place a single tile

[Reece]

I'm trying to create my level parser (exporter) for Enigma Game Level 
Editor (Egle).
I need a good way of exporting my levels!
In Egle, I use 3 arrays to store the strings for the Floor tiles, Item 
tiles, and Stone tiles.

For example a level 4 tiles wide and 4 tiles high could be represented by:
Floor Array{
    {"fl_wood",   "fl_lawn_a", "fl_lawn_a", "fl_wood"}
    {"fl_lawn_a", "fl_water",  "fl_water",  "fl_lawn_a"}
    {"fl_lawn_a", "fl_water",  "fl_water",  "fl_lawn_a"}
    {"fl_wood",   "fl_lawn_a", "fl_lawn_a", "fl_wood"}
}
Item Array{
    {"", "it_spoon", "it_hammer", ""}
    {"", "",         "",          ""}
    {"", "",         "",          ""}
    {"", "",         "",          ""}
}
Floor Array{
    {"",              "",              "",              ""}
    {"",              "",              "",              ""}
    {"",              "",              "",              ""}
    {"st_greenbrown", "st_greenbrown", "st_greenbrown", "st_greenbrown"}
}



I'm not sure how I can output my level with the new 1.10 API.
I'm also not sure how to combine the floor, item, and stone tiles into 1 
tile definition without using a super long tile definition string!?
If you have any suggestions that would be great!
