Hey everybody,what do you think about a new way to load map?
I talk about a new level editor ,too.
My ideea is this:
We work on a map in level editor.When we click Save,the editor will generate a file in text format,and with a script included in your project,all objects will be placed at x,y,z position.
And I think with that ,our games will run more faster.

This is already possible and common practice for user generated/ project or genre specific level editors.
You can give it a try yourself and ask questions on the forums should you get stuck at some issue.

The idea is good. I work on that since more than three years.

Binary beats text 11 out of 10 times. What are you trying to achieve/speed up exactly?

I use text files for creating a level by loading entity data, using an optimized way by putting them into categories thus minimizing the stored information, and for some other settings like materials, shadows etc. you can check it, it is open source, but its speed is much slower than loading a wmb level, mainly because of the speed of ent_create, and the limitation of the number of running actions/functions per frame. maybe a binary solution would be slightly faster, but I use it because of better debugging possibilities.
so I recommend to use a wmb as a basis of in-game usage, with some additional stuff for materials, and other extra entities which do not have place within the main wmb file, like some thousands of grass models...

At this stage, does not matter the level information are stored in text or binary data files.
The prime goal is what i try to achieve, is a system built from scratch, that is able to create a level, store that and load that. When that works i will deal with this aspect of the speed or performance. In my opinion in this stage, the text or binary data storing is not so important to make it primary goal.

Can you show us your work?

I have a custom editor anywhere on my hard drive, pretty project specific, but if i find it, i can publish it on github (if you want). But be warned: The editor is mostly a 5k-lines file

it would be great. maybe I will also put my editor onto github...

Yes, of course.
But i have to know are there more than one inquisitive?
Because i used not English language when i made it,
so i have to translate, and it needs cca. 2-4 weeks.
I planned the translation, but not in this half year.
