Any good Mapfileformat ?

[stryx]

Hi, I'm coding an OpenGL Engine and for now, it works good (for 3 days work).

Now it's time to include something like Mapfiles to test some features.

What Mapfileformat do you use ?

or

What easy to read Mapfileformats are there that have an useful editor ?

Thanks for you answer,

The Quake3 BSP format is nice though not that simple to parse. But you can get good editors and tools for it.

Unofficial specs are here (http://graphics.stanford.edu/~kekoa/q3/) , look out for Q3Radiant or GtkRadiant as editors, or simply hit planetquake and look for something like 'mapping tools' or so.

Yeah, I thought of that, but I haven't found the specs. I'm a hobby-quake player and newbie map designer http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/wink.gif


Thank you.

The easiest map file format I can think of is ASE files. Many 3D modelling programs can export ASE files.
