I've posted a link to Leif's page on my site so that it may be easily found in the future (no forum searching needed).

Okay, I'm finished with the perl script now. It basically lets you create a number of maps with dommap, prettifies them with the Gimp script, zips up the maps in individual zip-files, generates thumbnails and builds a (very basic) web-page where the maps can be downloaded from. (The web-page thing can be turned off)

Great job!

Actually, I think the maps look reasonable now - they certainly don't have the polished look of hand-drawn maps, but they seem good enough.

No, thanks - I still turn the computer off at night, and don't want to set up a cron job to upload to my ISP's computers, so anything I host, I'll have to copy manually.

Still, I'll probably release a Version 1.95 of dommap, as soon as Arryn confirms me the minor changes I made didn't break his Developer Studio files. I'll include Leif's Perl script and his Version of the Gimp script, because they make the whole thing worth running...

Gonna drop the other possible fixes? seperate mask image? adding more colors to the fractal? building in a blur (or now maybe a bump)

1. "her", not "his".

2. I had to change 4 instances of "random()" to "rand()" in the province.c file, after which it compiles cleanly. Let me know if you want me to send you this "revised" .c file.
