How do I build a tool to assist in the editor

Hi,

I'd like to create a small tool to assist me in creating my maps inside of Construct 2.

I have CSV's that represent my world exported from Tiled, and I'd like to make a tool that allows me to load this in and have it place objects into the layout based on the CSV.

Is this kind of Editor Extension something that is supported? I have looked into the Javascript SDK a small amount, but that appears to mostly be around add in-game features, not editor features.

Also, I know that Tiled files can be imported directly. But I'm working in Isometric so that doesn't work.

I also know i could build it all at run time using CSV To Array, and then iterating over the Array.

But, because of the way my particular game is setup that's not really an option.

If this isn't an option, thats ok. I'll just place everything by hand.

thanks in advance,

K

The sdk doesn't provide anything for this. You'd have to make a seperate program that generates/modifies the layout xml files themselves.

Thanks R0j0hound, that has pointed me in the exact direction I wanted. Didn't even realise it was all handled by XML's. Thats made my life so simple!
