DCME, or Drake Continuum Map Editor, is an open source map editor created in Visual Basic primarily by Drake7707. Notable features are the addition of the so-called "special tiles" to the tile palette, easy placement of styled text on the map, and a tool for representing a bitmap image as tiles.
Extended LVL Support
DCME 2.0 fully supports eLVL features as map attributes and regions. DCME also uses some custom data chunks that are not defined in the standard eLVL format.
- rCOL is a region subchunk used to store the defined region color, instead of assigning a new random color every time the map is loaded. Its size will always be 4 bytes. It is saved as an unsigned 32bits integer. (Version 2.0.1 and up)
- DCHC is a chunk that represents a hash code generated by DCME to identify the map in a unique way. It is used for the autosave feature and might be used for more things in the future. Its size should always be 8 bytes. It is a 8 characters string made up from the Volume ID of drive C and the current time displayed in hexadecimal values.
