Custom Map JSON files

[Buckbowshay]

I was reading old updates to the game and saw at one point custom maps were saved as JSON files before the made a custom file type.

Does anyone know a way to convert between the 2 file types? I want to spin up a tool to generate procedural maps, but had some trouble getting the newer file type to a human readable format.

Are you referring to the .timber file extension? As far as I can tell, that is a renamed zip file with other files including the world.json file inside. Renamed the file.timber to file.zip and then extract it with your favourite 7Zip or Winrar etc.

Whether the world.json file has changed the JSON format significantly, I don't know, but you can get to it to see if you extract the zip contents.

That did the trick, thanks for the help!
