Does anyone know of a nice map editor for a 2D platform game, that has some BlitzMax code on how to load a map?

Thanks

'Mappy' is what your looking for.
i know there is some b3d/b+ code to handle the maps somewhere.

There is platform map editor that comes with the bmax samples.

TileStudio ( http://tilestudio.sourceforge.net/ ) is very good too. You can customize the output file(s) it genarates and is not difficult to load the maps in any language. There are examples for BlitzBasic it the website, and I made functions for loading and drawing the maps in BlitzMax in a couple of hours.

Thanks for the code :)

Have you tried getting collision working with Tile Studio and BlitzMax? Is it easy to do it?

Thanks

You absolute star Eric, I was just about to start looking into doing that myself and you've saved me loads of time. :)

I haven't tried yet, but the bounds information of each tile is exported and saved in the bounds attribute of the TSMapCell object.
The following TileSTudio tutorial shows you how to interpret the bound codes: http://tilestudio.sourceforge.net/tutor.html
