Oh, wow, this is really nice! Just one question! Do I have to add the water manually myself?

For the time being. It's on the road map to add automatic water hex generation as well as the proper hill levels and hex tiles. When that will be ready I really can't give any estimate.

Don't worry about rushing man. The sheer amount of effort this must've taken, along with how easy this makes it to make real life maps now is simply mind-blowing. Thanks for this! Seriously, thanks!

Just tried to generate a map and get this error:

Can't open output map! Permission denied at contour.pl line 389.

Anybody know why?

This really is breathtaking to anyone making maps but anyone trying this needs to be aware that when it generates the map for the game when you display it in the editor you will see nothing but flat green......BUT you WILL see what's "hiding" when you look at the mini map and the work I did to add colour to every contour height is paying off. What you need to do is select the "page2:" grass......that's the one that follows contours in terrain. Set FILL RANGE to something like 400 and then press fill and it will automagically reveal all the contours. All a map maker need to do next is add trees buildings and whatever else you want to dress the map up but this program does all the heavy lifting .

REALLY NICE WORK !

Here's a snippet

you can see a section of the map that the program works from and a section of the map.......the river bed is clearly visible

Yeah, it's really, really nice work.

If anyone builds maps from this post them and I'll get them into a patch

Wow, we sure could have used this tool many moons ago.
