Development Showcase / Knytt Stories PHP classes
« on: April 09, 2012, 01:11:44 »
Hi,
As some of you may know, I have contributed to the new Knyttlevels.com that has just reached a private beta testing stage. My biggest contribution to the site were probably my two PHP classes that allow to 1) read and extract files from .knytt.bin packages and 2) render knytt map files. Years ago, I posted an early version of the 2nd class in the old forums, but since then, it has been improved a lot. I haven't worked on them for ages - to be exact, probably one or two years, and my coding style has actually changed quite a bit since then!
Still, I'd like to share them with you - I'm aware that there probably aren't many people who know PHP and like working with KS map files, but whatever! Here they are - I've only retouched them a bit just now so that they have more appropriate comments above function headers and usage help at the top of the file, but the code is still the same as 2 years ago.

KnyttMap: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/580370/
On my other PC, I should have a script lying around that takes a .knytt.bin file and renders the WHOLE map to a single PNG - really cool, if anyone's interested, I'll try to find and upload it (That's how I made the Machine png in my signature). It was even capable of rendering Gaia, which seems to be the biggest level ever made. It took a while to render though, I can tell you
I hope at least a single person will appreciate this
