GBM
Revision as of 16:34, 12 June 2013 by 155.56.68.217 (talk) (→Header Structure: fixed Version 2 & cliffLevel)
GBM, or the Glest Binary Map format, is the standard type of map. GBM is limited to 4 players, but can be used on any of Glest's engines, including MegaGlest and the Glest Advanced Engine. Maps in the GBM format are created in the Map Editor.
Header Structure[edit]
Version 1 (GBM):
struct MapFileHeader{
int32 version;
int32 maxPlayers;
int32 width;
int32 height;
int32 altFactor;
int32 waterLevel;
int8 title[128];
int8 author[128];
int8 description[256];
};
Version 2 (MGM) GAE:
struct MapFileHeader {
int32 version;
int32 maxPlayers;
int32 width;
int32 height;
int32 altFactor;
int32 waterLevel;
int8 title[128];
int8 author[128];
union {
int8 description[256];
struct {
int8 short_desc[128];
int32 magic; // 0x01020304 for meta
int8 meta[124];
};
};
};
Or Version 2[.1] (MGM) in MegaGlest, which supports cliffs:
struct MapFileHeader {
int32 version;
int32 maxPlayers;
int32 width;
int32 height;
int32 altFactor;
int32 waterLevel;
int8 title[128];
int8 author[128];
union {
int8 description[256];
struct {
int8 short_desc[128];
int32 magic; // 0x01020304 for meta
int32 cliffLevel;
int8 meta[120];
};
};
};
