TMX2EA v2.0 Readme

How to use:
TMX2EA converts Tiled format maps to EA installer format.
Simply double click TMX2EA.exe and choose "Yes" to scan subfolders,
and it will generate individual installers for each
map as well as a master installer for all maps found.

If you only wish to update a single map you can either drag
the .tmx directly onto TMX2EA or choose "No" when prompted
and use the file selection dialog.

To use the installer, put
  ORG (some free space)
  #include "Master Map Installer.event"
in your rom buildfile, or add ORG (some free space) to the top of the installer
and assemble it directly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Master Map Installer defines the SetChapterData() macro, which
is used to update the Chapter Data Editor with the appropriate properties.

These properties can be manually substituted in the generated event files,
or defined as custom layer properties.
