More plugin interaction for new created maps

[ghost]

It would be nice if a plugin could hook into the creation of a new map.

I would like to extend my plugin to be able to fill the world with random background tiles from my tileset

I would also like to set some map properties on map creation.

And last but not least i would like to create some default layers whenever someone creates a new map with my plugin installed.

It would really help me a lot if the plugin api would be a little bit more .... open or extendable.

The current plugin approach is very limited and it will be hard to extend this approach much further. Instead, the plan is to make Tiled scriptable (issue #949). The following two things would need to be possible to resolve this issue:

• Ability to execute a script that fills the world with random background tiles.
• Ability to hook into a "New Map" event in a script, which sets some properties on the map and creates default layers.

The scripting API that was added in Tiled 1.3 enables both of the above actions, so closing this issue.
