• <water>: 1=water, 0=no water.
• <nb_mine>: specify the number of mine in the map.
• <is_open>: specify if the map is open or closed (an 1=island, 0=cave).
• size="X,Y": Set windparticules size (exemple : size="63,63").
• grid pos="X,Y" and array="X,Y" are options used for animated particules.
• <wind>: Options define some factors for wind particules.

Use the new map : Files

Finally you've got one directory with 5 files:

• map.png
• sky.jpg
• preview.jpg
• windparticules.png
• config.xml

Put this directory in ~/.wormux/map/ (under GNU/Linux) or c:\program files\wormux\data\map\ (under Windows)
