JAVA programmer? (and Win-DomMap, and some GIMP)

PhilD is managing the source code now. The Last batch of changes were his. He has pretty much gotten it to create maps which will work for Dom2. His Version is Linux only and there are people who would love to get just a working Windows compile made available.

More specifically: I'd say the program is pretty much standard C. Not really my problem if people cannot get it to compile on their system

(more truthfully: I don't know what it would take to get it to compile on non-linux machines; it's most likely very little)

Id also be interested in whether the C code actually generates a more extensive fractal map then "dumbs it down" to the old Dom1 map format. Such as... does it squeeze everything between height 100-150 into the green tree color because the old Dom1 limited the map to a total of 16 colors? Letting it assign each level to a slight color change could result in a great map.

Yes, it actually generates two full fractal maps (one for altitude, one for "richness"), then sorts it into a few color categories to only include a few colors in the output.

I can easily change it so it outputs more or less the whole range (of one map), or something like that: it's a very minor change. Or to output the province borders and capitals to a different .tga file, if you want to do some automated image treatment. Not that big a deal (will use more memory, though).
