Re: quicky update

Actually thats how I thought it worked. But apparently it has a big affect on how provinces are drawn, and how they are grouped.

Re: quicky update

Very strange. Apparently the secret to getting continents and oceans lies in the ZOOM command. I thought that was zoom like it is in Dom3 but apparently it ties into the code.

Setting zoom to...

Been there, done that.
Looking at code I wrote years ago either has me laughing or amazed that I wrote it.

OK, my ADD has shifted back this direction. The blitz games on my server have slowed down and besides offering new game settings Im thinking there is a real desire for blitzes on wrapped maps.

Re: quicky update

Well I dont think Id play that map. Too much water for the land. But it does look as if the island routine worked all right.

Re: new map generator

Hmmm thats not what I was hoping from seeds. I was hoping for something like DomMap had. One seed number which defined the map. I could run a full color map for display, then a subtler one for play,...

1055 provinces of 895 land and 160 water
land players have a ratio of 49 prov...

Re: new map generator

I had on my projects list (my super overloaded projects list) an idea to do a webpage tiling of the maps I randomly generate just to see if one accidentally comes close to being wrappable....

Re: new map generator

So... within a single map you will get 4 areas with equal chance to develop all of the terrains? Increasing the possibility of 4 areas with a continent, ocean, etc.

Or is this to lead up to...

Re: new map generator

On my maps I consider any province with one entrance (surrounded by castles) to be a cave. It just makes sure that there are caves someplace on the map.

Or squeeze a tiny province in-between the...

Re: new map generator

Abit busy and bright for my tastes but that is just my tastes. Besides, I can always drop the gamma or fuzz the image if I want to work one into a downloadable scenario map. Much...

Re: new map generator

The only thing I can think of for a "beep" would be a batch file and telling it to run on postexec. Actually it would probably be easier to just play a wav or something. Like "HEY your turn is ready!"

Re: new map generator

You might want to allow for mixed terrains. I know that might be more of a pain than its worth but Id like to see something like a less packed trees sprite for forest/farm, or forest/plain

Re: new map generator

Wrap Around maps, user added sprites for terrain, more color control. Excellent stuff.
