What is the exact `map.bin` format specification?

Hey guys,

Since I am working on a very special project and I struggle to figure out how to encode a bunch of bytes into the map,

Please could You give some links or advice on how to properly create a map from a custom software perspective?

I tried already to tweak some stuff. My guess was the map format is simple as possible BMP-like one with some specific headers. But I can't understand why the map size in tiles (like 96x96 or 8x8, for example,) is not correlated with the map.bin size in bytes.

Do I need one byte per tile or more?

What are those first bytes of the map or does it have meta-information at all?

Oh, thank You. The second link is very helpful, I already got it from the other guy and solved my problem. This topic can be closed now
