Re: quicky update

Those look cool. Kinda TRON. Keep that look as an option in the final version http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif (you'd have to swap borders and province centers I think).

Re: quicky update

No no no, this is good. We *want* the maps to be more clumped http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

Re: new map generator

Well, right now, if a province contains a lot of forest, it's bitmask gets bitwise-or 96.

Well, suppose you don't want forests - you want magic-site-richness. Or smallness. Or waste+swamp.

Okay, here are the additional scripting commands I want:

Re: new map generator

Actually, whatever you did last time, the speed is now very good.

OTOH, better control over the water is exactly what I need. I've attached a script file which gives reasonable results. I've...

Re: MapGen v0.52 RELEASE

Thanks for the excellent work, PB. I'm going to start a bunch of MP games in early april using these maps.

This is low priority but would be cool.

If we could have high-site-frequency...

Re: new map generator

The immediate problem is that if you set the water-content very low it never comes out convex.

If you could seed the water - instead of using altitude at all - you could set the water frequency...

Re: new map generator

By altitude?

I think you should be able to set which terrain types will be in different altitude ranges, and which will be seeded (with what frequency.)

For example -

Re: version 0.51 alpha release

It keeps freezing. I've been letting it run for, like, six or seven hours.

Yeah - same settings as before. I also tried moving the water and mountain limits up and down.

Re: version 0.51 alpha release

Ah, okay, I'll just let it run then. Suffice to say that it's taking a lot longer than the previous version (which went really fast after the topography was done.)

Re: version 0.51 alpha release

The latest version freezes during the "generating terrain-map" step, at least with the script file I was using before.

Debug output is attached.

Re: MapGen alpha release!

Actually, I was wrong about the no coastal cliffs (or I just needed to move the mountain limit a bit.)

This is a map without about the right ratios of land:water, but the water is heavily...

Re: MapGen alpha release!

Actually, that's an idea.

If the difference in the "height" of two adjacent province-centers is >X, you declare the border between those two provinces to be a mountain-border. It's impassable and...

Re: MapGen alpha release!

As a rule it produces nice output.

However, I think that the topography (that produces oceans and mountains) is a little off.

It never produces cliffs (so no coastal mountains) and it seldom...

Manuk - try setting the sea level all the way down to 0.

That gives you just a few lakes.

Re: MapGen alpha release!

Yeah, okay, take a look at this map - 99 and 100 (I believe) have their province stats reversed.

100 definitely shouldn't be a forest, and 99 should be, in any case. Actually, it looks a lot of...

Oh, I get it. That sets the water level! Okay, that'll work fine.

I'm still getting the error with the latest version. This is bizarre - virtual studio can't compile programs that run without libraries?
