Compare map files

[hellboy]

Is there any simple way to compare every sqm in two otbm files an show differences as list of positions? Something like diff for txt files.

Never heard about something like that, the "best" way would be to do a source edit and add another function to compare them and display them in a list.

Ditto that. You could also import the map and look for any differences in the map per relevant itemids. You could either source edit this into RME or the OTS tbh.

I don't get it.

You could overlay the old map unto the new map, and look for any specific changes with specific itemids (are you looking for improperly placed MPAs/DSM/SoV/etc?, then that could help, otherwise, or you could also make an implementation into otbmloader.cpp where it loads both maps and prints the differences found.

Ok, answer is:
There is no easy ("idiot friendly") solution.

At this moment I don't need this function anymore, because I found last revision of my old project map.
Anyway thanks for help. @WibbenZ @ScorpionOT
