SCRIPTs

Has anyone been working with the random generator scripts? (to get there do these)
Xtns
   Script-Fu
      Patterns
         Flatland
         Land
         Render Map

I love the tiling effect (makes it world-wrappable). Maybe we can come up with some numbers that get us maps closer to what we are used to. Id like to see less water. I prefer 1, 2, or 3 oceans rather than water all around islands. I suppose you could generate a really large one then crop a map from it that fits your needs but then it wouldnt be wrappable.

I suppose if we worked on the gradient we could get one that would fit our needs much more. Remove any use of 255,255,255 white (capital color) and shift the dark greens into grey which would make the higher elevations into mountains.
