Generate XML

That's simple. Copy-Paste the XML below to tfm editor.

Q. I can't load xml in tfm editor. It says 'This map is invalid'.: A. Your XML is too long to load. 20KB is the limit tfm can load. You need to reduce some lines.
Q. Nothing is shown when I load my XML. What's wrong?: A. You should play the map. Your drawing is not shown in edit screen. Also, your map needs to have 1 ground at least.
Q. What are those strange tags such as VL and VC?: A. They include layer/curve data. You can remove them when you load your XML in tfm editor. However you can't load your XML in this editor without them.

Load

It only loads JD tags and unique tags used in this editor. Other tags such as JPL will be ignored(including M1 and M2 attributes).
