K'lia is my open source Marathon Map Viewer - it can open and view Marathon 2 and Infinity map files with some basic support for loading the various data. Full source code is included for those looking to write a map editor.
K'lia was written mainly to familiarize myself with the marathon data formats in the hope that I might be able to create a map editor at some point. While I am far from that goal, this project has been an excellent first step and will likely serve as the base of another program or perhaps a way to import files from maps that have already been merged.
What's New:
Buffering code increases speed at normal to wide zooms hugely, extreme close ups still drawn on the fly
Map Inspector has been added for examining objects and polygons
Object placement was incorrect by about 1/8th world unit, fixed
problems with zooming moving the view around are fixed
maps built with pfhorte should open and display correctly (still can't open Forge unmerged files)
maps that had exit polygons were drawing incorrectly (may need to toss out prefs to fix completely)
when selecting teleporters, the destination will show up orange on the map
monster names and other marathon data now kept in plists within the application package.
