The .map files

[M0lD]

As i understand it now, the maps made in the editor aren't compiled... Would that make the ingame engine able to edit and save or replace .map files? Im intrested in an "Multiplayer VR Map builder"

.map files are binary. You'd have to know the binary format to do this. Nobody has done this, to my knowledge, to date. In general this is beyond what is normally done and Josh hasn't really officially ever supported doing it although he may give you the format he's using if you ask, but be careful with updates Josh may do on the map format as you'd need to know the changes for your editor.

Thk,
But the Engine can save maps, witch means an "map::save()" would be a thing InGame?

(i know  this dont exsist)

The editor can save maps yes. I believe the editor is written in BMax still? So I don't believe there a map:save() that you can do in game.
