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

You mean I only have to change the fopen() calls and it will work on Windows?

Well, I had to change random/srandom to rand/srand, and maybe tweak a few other things (and I don't know, and can't currently test, if my port functions correctly, but it seems to do so), but yeah, there wasn't much to change.

[Edit: And per Leif_-'s suggestion, I changed the fopen().]

OK I have Win compiled copies from both you and Leif. They both seem to work but have one strange quirk. Little loops of water border create un-capitaled water provinces. Not a big problem since the windows Version was mostly desired by people who wanted to edit the maps in paint programs anyway.

The variable "near" is also a (obsolete) reserved word and I had to change that (to "nearby" ). The only thing blocking my compile at present is a missing def for "M_PI". Of course, I presume this is related to the value of Pi, but I don't know what the "M" is supposed to imply.

Once I have the console port in Windows compiled and working okay, then I can begin the "fun" task of rebuilding the app as a native Windows MFC app, with GUI and all the other niceties. Well, that's the plan, FWIW.

OK that makes 3 in the running.
Anyone feel like "Source Forge"ing this project?

What do you all think?

I like that. The "canvas" thing that Illwinter uses was interesting also (I think Saber Cherry recommended it in another thread) but I think I like this one better.

But I suspect this is farther away from being batch-useable than blur is. Im sure ImageMagick commands can do what I want. I just dont understand enough about masks and such.

M_PI is normally the value of PI from math.h or a subinclude. For instance, on a Linux box I've nearby, /usr/include/math.h contains
# define M_PI 3.14159265358979323846 /* pi */
(in a block of defines surrounded by an #ifdef relating to BSD).

Thanks! My linux box is downstairs collecting (a lot of) dust. Two years worth at least.

I've gotten the code to compile and produce a map & tga. You can get the v1.94a console .exe w/ sample output from my site. If no one finds any other problems (besides the odd water loops that happen with my compile also), then I can begin the conVersion into a real Windows app. That is, assuming anyone is interested in the fancy Windows trappings (GUI, etc.) ...

Not to curb your enthusiasm but so far what we have managed to do is get the DomMap from Dominions 1 to work for Dom2. There is a wish-list for this program. Many things that could be upgraded. If we wander into two code-sets it will be hard to keep up. Your choice of course.

There are also other 3rd party program requests where window-dressing (pun intended) is what is being asked for.
