Anyone Good At Programming and Some basic Hex Editing?

Oh, btw, I am using it now, and when I try to set a tile directory that includes one grass 24x24 bitmap, it says they aren't any 24x24 images in that folder. What do I do?

EDIT: Nvm, It didn't say anywhere that the image had to be PNG. It's working now.

how does one write a plugin for said app?

You download NetBeans, Java SDK, the program's sources and the libraries it needs (basically STTD) and create a new Java Class Library project (or something like that) with a dependency (from project properties -> libraries -> in compile tab select Add Project and select the Mapas project). Once you do that, check the source code of the NameMapExporter plugin to see a simple documented example. You might also want to generate Javadocs from the Mapas source code (right click in the Mapas project and select Generate Javadoc) so see the docs for PluginInterface and PluginUtils. A note btw on the plugin project: you should use the same name for the project, the package and the plugin class. For example the NameMapExporter uses:

Project name: NameMapExporter
Package name: namemapexporter
Plugin class: NameMapExporter

Also to make the IDE copy the plugin .jar file in Mapas folder (so you can test it without copying it manually every time), select the Files tab, and from your plugin's folder open the build.xml file. In there add the following line before the </project> tag:

Code: [Select]

<target name="-post-jar">
    <copyfile src="${dist.jar}" dest="${project.Mapas}/plugins/YourPluginName.jar"/>
</target>
See NameMapExporter's build.xml for an example.
