Yes


Public knowledge/programs to do it.

No



You need to create a program to automate the work because each coord contains access information and every few coords contains image/object references. These are spread across 3-4 different file types.

So ideally you need to write a program with a gui that will let you place down access information and graphic information and when finished it will compile everything into the proper formats using the information provided.


So yah... not public stuff.

u will need to create dmaps, puzzles, scale the .dds from one to the small pieces.
make the .dat file read it.
Is not just to do.
Learning about splitting/compiling with .png pictures for pixelart (sprites/textures).
Might help u understand this subject better.

Goodluck :)

It's not so much scaling as it is image chunks

if you are setting up a tile type system per coord (for access/height info) then you could in theory do individual tiles and then chunk them into the final dds files when done.


*cough* Yay Project Indigo ;)
