Tiled Map Editor Plugin Question

Has anyone had any experience writing exporter plugins for the tiled editor over at
http://www.mapeditor.org/ I was thinking of writing an exporter for my level format in it so I can release a level editor for the alpha build of a game / engine I am working on. It seems like a pretty viable option just wondering if you have ever used it.

I've never used it, but this is just what I was looking for at the moment. Thank you!

Just implemented an exporter in it seems to work well.

Goto->Source->Plugins->TMW then edit tmwplugin.cpp and find the write method and just use standard C++ io streams / C file IO to export.

I'd advise not to edit the TMW plugin, but rather take it as an example and write your own plugin alongside it.
Good to hear the current plugin infrastructure works for you, dejai.

Hehe yes very true. I will write a "proper" plugin (find and replace TMW with MyPluginName (lol) ) soon. Nice map editor

Very impressive looking editor. And it's written with QT!
We love QT here.
