BDCFF extension for Emerald Mines

(and various Emerald Mines / Boulder Dash clones)
Proposal V0.15
February 24 2008
This is an old version restored from an even older backup, so it's probably not as complete as it once was. Preserved for historical purposes.


Based on the Crazy Dream 9 proposal, which is based on Tim Stridmann's BDCFF proposal v0.32.

Contributing to this proposal: LogicDeLuxe, HerzAusGold, David Tritscher, cirix, Steffest
Current duscussion thread for this proposal is http://www.artsoft.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1547

Currently this proposal supports all elements from the various C64 Boulderdash engines and all elements from the various (amiga) Emerald Mine engines.
It allso provides a framework (at least) to extend it for other elements occuring in other engines/clones.

Naming conventions following this proposal:
The purpose of these naming conventions is the obtain a "readable" text based representation of a level, so that that someone looking at the level in a text editor would get a general idea how the level looks.

For the BDextended and BDinternal subsets:

Default 1 char codes are provided for the BD subset. These defaults should not be changed because there are allready heaps of caves that use them.
Default 2 char codes are provided for the BD, EM and EMextended subsets. There are 'at this moment' no caves public that use these codes. (not YET anyway) So these are still open for discussion.
If you do use different codes, please specify them in the [mapcodes] section of your BDCFF file.
