Hi there,

Having the map files in XML, and the new RSS feeds opens up a lot of potential for people to code addons for CC. There's 2 things that would make it even better.

#1 If the Map XML file had the path to the map image in it. e.g.

Code: Select all

<smalimage>Classic.S.jpg</smallimage>
<smallheight>325</smallheight>
<smallheight>325</smallheight>

Although there's a naming convention used at the moment, this would be a little cleaner.

#2 Maps XML file. If there was a list of maps that are live, and just pointed to the relevant XML map file that would also be very useful. Something along these lines.

Code: Select all

<maps>
  <map>
    <title>Africa</title>
    <xml>Africa.xml</xml>
  </map>
</maps>

Thanks

One issue with #1 is that the map XML files are created by the mapmaker, while the map's filename is chosen by lack. It might be better to just do #2 and have the filenames included in the "Maps XML file".

True. If that's easier it would be cool too!

Two words: to-do list

Of course. It's very much a wish feature!

I wouldn't think you'd be able to get a chance to do it until sometime around 2012

Done!
