Overview

RPG Maker numbered hash data file

This class expects the object to be a hash

This class forces hash keys to be a number for the data files:

  • Areas

  • MapInfos

**Reason: Creating a DataFileHash instance from a MapInfos/Areas JSON file provokes undesired behavior.**

JSON only allows key names to be strings, so all keys of the hash will be converted to string.

This is undesired behavior because RPG Maker editor requires the MapInfos and Areas hash keys to be numbers.

So we need to convert all keys read from the JSON file to integers when importing the JSON file into the RPG Maker database, hence the inclusion of this class specification from DataFileHash.

Otherwise the RPG Maker editor will fail to show the maps and areas even though data still exists.
