SUBJECT: RE: Welcome to Open Discussion I *think* the .DWG AutoCAD file format is an open standard, if that's of any use. Assorted references: http://4crawler.cruiserpages.com/AutoCAD.FILE.shtml
Some regular WAD editors have a 3D-wireframe view available. One would think that the ability to display same would be right next door to being able to import it??
But for the average person's art skills, importing a plain old 2D floorplan would be a lot easier. Especially if they could sketch on paper, then scan that to a basic graphic format, then dump that to the WADbuilder tool.
I'd think line detection wouldn't be too hard, you'd mainly be looking for pixel on/off, or something like that. I'm not sure how the data is arranged, but if you parse pixel indicators (however done in a given file format) that should be translateable, yes? GIF might be simplest for a starting point, having only 256 colours available thus relatively limited data.
