level-format-docs.txt

These are notes I wrote from documenting the RW level file format
========

NOTE: shortcut entrances always have an object of type 4. (dunno why, probably some leftovers from an older impl)

tile data format (from rwe+):
    {"tp": "tileHead", "data": ["point(C, T)", "N"]}
    C = Category ID (starting from 1) plus 2 (Stone = 3, Machinery = 15, Misc = 12)
    T = Tile index starting from 1
    N = tile name

    {"tp": "tileBody", "data": ["PT", L]}
    PT = location of the tile head plus (1, 1)
    L = layer

    {"tp": "material", "data": "N"}
    N = material name

    {"tp": "default": "data": 0}

FX MATRIX FORMAT
  {
    #nm: string
    #tp: "nn" | "standardErosion" (don't really know what this means),
    #crossScreen: 0 (idk what this means, but it is effect-specific),
    #mtrx: (2d array with values ranging from 0 to 100)
    #Options: [
      [
        section Header as string,
        options as string array (no options = empty array),
        selected value? (string, but a number is used for seed)
      ]
    ],

    [if #tp == "standardErosion"] (
      #repeats: number (idk what this does, but it is effect-specific)
      #affectOpenAreas: number (idk what this does either, but it is effect-specific)
    )
  }

PROP INIT FORMAT
