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

Leif_- · #1 February 27th, 2004, 02:07 AM

I've added a new option to the Perl script, -rnd , which will randomize the parameters for dommap for every map (but any argument specified on the command-line will not be randomized.) This gives some more variation in the size and topographies of the generated maps, although, of course, some of the maps will be rather useless.

Edited to add: I just uploaded a set of maps made with the -rnd option to the web. (You can find the address further up ... errr - down in the thread.)

Hmmmm if I psuedo-code some of my randomizer routines for the .map file maybe you could perl those and knit them together?

Oh and can the script write out the parameters it used? Maybe as a .bat file of the same name? The program I wrote for randomzing the DomMap runs does this buy writing the params to a $NAME.sh and then running the .sh
Im interested the the results of some of PhilD's maps and I want to duplicate those levels.

Sure, although I might not be able to get the time to do it until this weekend. As it is, I print out the size of the map to the HTML file, and it wouldn't be a problem to add the other parameters there as well.

No, actually I'm sure I didn't add its own pair of single quotes. Stupid syntax...

I just wanted to thank everyone who's worked on the Random Map Generator. Using DomMap from Arryn's site and the Gimp scripts from Leif's site, I was able to easily create a really nice looking map that I've enjoyed playing.

Thanks a lot,

I'd overlooked this posting, else I'd've replied to it before now.

Yes, I've done my fair share of fixing MFC-related bugs for (good) pay. But now that I've been using the {insert choice expletive here} Macrosloth IDE for 6+ years I'm kind of used to it. Just as I'm used to the {insert choice expletive here} reverse-listing order of this forum.

Heehee as a long-time moderator I must point out that this is a prime example of a proper post. No questionable language was used but with some creativity their presense was still felt.
