Map Infos

[Trickster]

Map Infos
Version: 1.2

Introduction
This mini-script, loads data from RPG::Map into RPG::MapInfo. I wasn't pleased to see that you have to load a file just to get data that should have been in RPG::MapInfo, so I scripted this up pretty quickly to load all information (except event data and tileset data, I may add event data in a future update)


Screenshots
ok visualize the copying of data to one memory location to another memory location there is your screenshot


Demo
See next topic by me for a demo


Script
I despise the families...

Instructions
Add above main that's it, It also has a save data feature so you will only have to set it to true once, load your project and set it to false. you will have to set it to true again if you edit your maps or else...

Author's Notes
The first person who posts "What does this script do?" will get a surprise from me (and it won't be a good surprise) if you don't know what this does then you won't have a use for it


Terms and Conditions
Hey, I posted this publicly. You can use it. What do you expect? But if you do use it, I do expect you to spell my name correctly in your game. And yes you can use it in commercial games too.

Question. As we now know, by directing a person to go to map 1001 hand having actually 1001 maps in your system, your character WILL go, but that 1001 map will not show up in the map editor. While other aspects of the Database can be broken with simple scripts, does this, by adding those extra maps to mapinfos.rxdata allow someone to store over 999 maps and in essence, have those extra maps show up in the game editor?
