Loader

The loader module is for saving and loading maps/atlases/drawlists. It uses love.filesystem for saving and loading files. Only strings, booleans, and numbers are saved for custom properties. If a property is a table, the limitation applies to the keys and values.

loader.saveAtlas(atlas,path)

Saves the atlas to the specified path and filename. Returns true if successful, else it returns a second value with the error message.

---

loader.loadAtlas(path)

Loads the atlas from the specified path and filename. If there was an error, return nothing and the error message.

---

loader.saveMap(map,path)

Saves the map to the specified path and filename. It also saves the atlas; the name can be optionally set with atlas:setName; the atlas is saved as atlas:getName()..'.atlas'. map:setImageSource must also be used so the loader can find the image when loading a map. The function returns true if the map is saved, else it returns a second value with the error message.

loader.saveDrawList(drawlist,path)

Saves the drawlist to the specified path and filename. It also saves each map layer and atlas; non-map layers are saved as placeholders. The name of a map can be optionally set with map:setName; the map is saved as map:getName()..'.map' The function returns true if the drawlist is saved, else it returns a second value with the error message.
