Shouldn't the map editor create a item.xml file?

[Togu]

When you save a map it creates a map-spawn.xml and a map-house.xml.
Why don't it have a map-item.xml with all action and unique ids? It would be much better for editing and checking.

Something like:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<items>
    <item itemid="1748" actionid="2000" uniqueid="0" posx="33124" posy="18239" posz="7"/>
</items>

Obs: never seen any piece of code of remeres project

Because it's supposed to be stored in binary format (OTBM: Open Tibia Binary Format). Items are the heaviest part of the map, which is why they should be in binary rather than a human-readable format because the file size would be enormous.

If I could I'd give you best answer for that haha

I remember in ancient distros like YurOTS, signs and all readables were stored in .xml files, I think teleports were stored in some .xml file too at some point
You can see readables here: divinity76/YurOTS (https://github.com/divinity76/YurOTS/blob/master/ots/data/readables.xml)

CipSoft definitely has within their map editor a manager for every object in the game, including monsters, actions, etc ... Just like if it was "RPG Maker XP" tool.

7.1 maps stores every tile in xml haha

Would be good if someone develop an IDsChecker for .otbm files. Maybe a little window just with a list with setter and getter.
