Random Maps and Underground Provinces
Is there or will there ever be a random map generator that works underground provinces into the picture?

Re: Random Maps and Underground Provinces
RanDom looks for provinces with only one neighbor and border mountain terrain and will convert them to cave provinces. In my games I typically end up with at least one or two caves.

Re: Random Maps and Underground Provinces
Houston we have a problem.
I downloaded the zipped files,unzipped them into a c:\Random folder I get (Component "Comdlg32.ocx" or one of it's dependancies not correctly registered. A file is missing or invalid) |
Re: Random Maps and Underground Provinces
I reinstalled it under c:\dominions3 but I'm still getting that error message.

Comdlg32.ocx can be found in the following posts along with some instructions on some options for using it:

Is your operating system Vista by chance? Anyhow, let me know if you still have problems. |

Excellent Thanks Again! I required a couple of them to get it working. Using Windows XP Pro here. |
Re: Random Maps and Underground Provinces
Great!
There is a slight learning curve with making the tools do what you want, but if you can get past that part I think you will like it. Especially if you do much single player. The start placement and province variety could be useful for multiplayer as well if you are so inclined. :) |

I was hopeing to use it mainly for making maps for SP mode. I hit the exucute button a few times now and I see what you mean about the learning curve. I attatched one of my abortions to this post. Strange things are happening in these maps. My land nation started a couple times in water. The provinces seem to have bizare connections, where some provinces have zero connections ,or the connected province is several provinces away. Also the map I see when creating the game(picking the map from the list)is always different than the one that loads in for the game. On one map the names of several provinces where clumped together in the water. I haven't seen any sign of cave formation yet, could you supply some good settings that would result in caves? |
Re: Random Maps and Underground Provinces
In order to modify the map (and gain the benefit of cave provinces) you will need to use the SemiRandomize button. 'Execute' generates a random map and 'Semi Randomize' creates a modified version of the map file with '_SR' appended to it. The modified map file can be found in the dominions3\SemiRandom folder. Copy & paste this map file into your dominions3\maps directory and you should be good to go.

Re: Random Maps and Underground Provinces
Thanks for that info,I'll try running it again tomorrow. I'll post a save game using that map I posted before. This map was not modified by the second program though.
I tried awhile ago ,made a new map,then ran the 2nd program but got this error. Adding Stuff... ---Error in main,line 1692:index 1 <=-1> out of range ---Error: Program stopped due to an error. ---Program done. |

Here's that savegame.
It Illustrates the problems I mentioned earlier. I was trying to make the small random map size that you can make using the game. |

Re: Random Maps and Underground Provinces
Geez. Thanks for your help. I think I'm going to stick with the default map randomizer as it works first time everytime. I just don't understand your program I guess.

EA Arcoscephale Is it possible you could add a slider in the RanDom program for caves? |
