I want to know the structure of the map files, how they work (smd is easy but the other) because i want to write a script (top secret 8))

So i need how they were building (the .smt and sm ... dont know)
Where there are the inforamtion about height texture feature and so on and where can i read in and how can i compile it

if you know C++, read the source code for loading maps, it'll step you through the file one chunk at a time

There is also a nice map editor. Afaik it's open source so you can also look there.

Then you are out of luck ;)

I had no other choice to read it too.
But it is not very complex, and documented quite well inside the source files.

Just look here:
http://github.com/spring/spring/blob/2e ... /mapfile.h

and maybe here too:
http://github.com/spring/spring/blob/2e ... apFile.cpp

Maybe if I get bored at work I'll create an overview image ;)

EDIT:
Done, maybe this helps a little:
HTML Version: http://saddam.ath.cx/mapfile.html
Or see attached images.
