Ok, I must be behind. I thought the random map creator only worked for Dom I.
No Philippe Duchon got it working for Dom2. Only for linux right now until someone decides to compile the C code for other platforms.
Not too bad. It even guesses at terrains and increased the map size. At the moment Im generating 30 new ones every day.

What I may get to soon is one that does both. A random image with a random text assigning random opponents with totally surprising random stuff thrown in, and a new one every day.

Ok, so as I understand it, you currently "have the technology" to do that, right? You just don't have it set up on your server to generate automatically everyday, correct?
In other words, there is a way to generate random maps, assign random opponents and have other things randomized right now?

Yep. Ive done it all in bits and pieces. And I have ideas for extending it. If anyone is interested I would provide the parts. Or one of these days I will get more going. I fool with it alittle more every morning (when my brain works better)
