The /dmp_writer recently was accepted into the channel DM.Libraries, precipitating it's 1.0 release. I'd tell you about the library, but I've already cut/pasted it's description a great many times today; an full description, along with instructions for use, can be found in the libraries hub entry. Along with the /dmp_reader, which is also published in DM.libraries, the /dmp_writer can save and load maps at runtime.

/dmp_reader by IainPeregrine
The /dmp_reader approximates DS's map loading process in order to allow dynamic map loading. The interface is clean and simple, providing one root node, and one public method.

I now have two published libraries... and no published games. Heck, I don't think I have any finished games. Oy, time to get to work.

Sinyc	On an unrelated note: If that's your picture on your avatar, for some reason you remind me of a young David Hyde Pierce. With a beard. :)

Sarm	Holy shit! I love doodling with Dmp files. If only this game I used to play could have used this, I would have been all over making maps and uploading them right into the server. This sounds great.

Yip, that's me (or at least it was maybe a year ago). A color version can be found here: Leningrad.png

I don't much see the similarity, but that's always the case when people compair their own face. But I do believe I can say without bias, my eyebrows are much better than those thin shapless things he has: IainBrow.png
