What's the deal with the Random Map Script option in 3.17? All it does is create uninspiring full grassland maps?!!?
3.17 - Random Map Script is weird...

It works for me, so i would need some more detail to help you out here (Like the Python log files or something...) Did you by any chance used a older version of the script from the forums ? If so you might need to remove the old files...
Does someone else have this issue ?

Hi Refar,
Yes I did use an older version from the forum. What files do I have to remove?
Thanks

Well those from the old version 
Should be MyGames\BeyondTheSword\PublicMaps\RandomScriptMap.py and - if you have a really-really really old version - RandomScriptUtil.py, which depending on where you put it, might be in PublicMaps as well or in CustomAssets\Python\
I am not sure if and why those old files would interfere - possibly the game somehow gets confused, heving 2 scripts with the same name... but right now i cant think of nothing else.
If the issue does not go away after removing th old files, i would need the Python log files, to see if they will reveal the problem. You would need to enable logging - in the end of the ini File:

Code:
; Enable the logging system
LoggingEnabled = 1
; Overwrite old network and message logs
OverwriteLogs = 1
; Enable rand event logging
RandLog = 1
; Enable message logging
MessageLog = 1I had the same problem within my own mod. The solution is in the python code in the cvMapGeneratorUtil.py. Just replace the old def initFractals(self): with the code below... Works like a charm 
Code:
def initFractals(self):
self.deserts.fracInit(self.iWidth, self.iHeight, self.grain_amount, self.mapRand, self.iFlags, self.fracXExp, self.fracYExp)
self.iDesertTop = self.deserts.getHeightFromPercent(self.iDesertTopPercent)
self.iDesertBottom = self.deserts.getHeightFromPercent(self.iDesertBottomPercent)
self.plains.fracInit(self.iWidth, self.iHeight, self.grain_amount+1, self.mapRand, self.iFlags, self.fracXExp, self.fracYExp)
self.iPlainsTop = self.plains.getHeightFromPercent(self.iPlainsTopPercent)
self.iPlainsBottom = self.plains.getHeightFromPercent(self.iPlainsBottomPercent)
self.variation.fracInit(self.iWidth, self.iHeight, self.grain_amount, self.mapRand, self.iFlags, self.fracXExp, self.fracYExp)
self.terrainDesert = self.gc.getInfoTypeForString("TERRAIN_DESERT")
self.terrainPlains = self.gc.getInfoTypeForString("TERRAIN_PLAINS")
self.terrainIce = self.gc.getInfoTypeForString("TERRAIN_SNOW")
self.terrainTundra = self.gc.getInfoTypeForString("TERRAIN_TUNDRA")
self.terrainGrass = self.gc.getInfoTypeForString("TERRAIN_GRASS")
