Utility: RanDom v2.03 - Map gen & Semirandomizer... Updated

[Ballbarian]

"RanDom" is a windows program, but "SemiRandom" is a separate program written in yabasic and should run on windows and unix. RanDom handles the building of the switches for the dom3 map generation and is a more human friendly interface for setting up the SemiRandom configuration file. So basically, any program can make the changes to the settings in the cfg file and then initiate the SemiRandom executable to generate the map file without the windows RanDom program.

If you decide to go the automated route, let me know if you need some help deciphering the configuration settings for SemiRandom. The help file that is included with it desperately needs updated.

When I tried to rum RanDom it says "MSCOMCTL.OCX" or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.

Is there a fix?

[Ballbarian]

Attached to this post is a zip containing MSCOMCTL.OCX. You may be able to just drop it in the folder with RanDom.exe or it may have to be registered.

I don't have time to give more details at the moment, but will follow up after work if you have any problems or questions.

Ballbarian,

Thanks. Will let you know if I still have problems.

Trying to automate this sounds like great fun. Regrettably I don't think I'm going to look into it. I'm trying to finish my current set of planned features for my server and then draw a line under it, so I can concentrate on my PhD. I'm meant to hand in in 8 months. 8 months! Very scary.

Balbarian,

Now its says TABCTL32.OCX is missing. I am beginning to wonder how many of these *.ocx files my computer is missing. Hope I am not causing you too much bother and thanks for helping.

Ilamabeast,

You mean your thesis is not on Dominion 3?

[Ballbarian]

Good!
We are making progress.
I will attach tabctl32.ocx to this post

On the other hand, maps generated with this would be very gratefully accepted for the server.
