ASSS Questions - Tile struct fix SOS - Fri Mar 14, 2003 1:58 pm Post subject: Tile struct fix
Since x and y only uses 10 bits, you should seperate the extra 2 from both so they may be used for other things. (Marking some tiles as special for bots, etc)
struct TileData
{
unsigned x : 12;
unsigned y : 12;
unsigned type : 8;
};

Changing how the tile structure works would require the map editors to be changed, and the client (though priitk might be able to apply that in, oh, say 2 years). So far, only that one Continuum level editor was made, and isn't too great, so changing the structure won't help. But leaving space can be useful. Maps can be edited to be upto 4096x4096 tiles. So if priitk ever applies a setting so maps can be limited in side, we can maybe make HUGE maps without having to change how the file is handled (though would require someone to make new map editor). Anyways, all 256 tile types arn't even being used yet.
