Should i code today ...
I love this map generator but I have an annoying problem for me that I don't know how to fix. There is that option for Ground where you set the smallest size a land mass / island can be. It's suppose to erase any lands that are below that size as I understand it. Problem is the default is 1 and I can't change it. Doesn't matter what number I put in there it reverts back to one even if I save it. If I do "Verify" like I read somewhere around here for a similar problem it just goes back to 1.
So I get maps with alot of little islands when I just like continents mostly or small islands. Even the pangea(sp?) I'm playing now has some small islands when it's suppose to be 1 huge continent. I've looked at the files that come with the download but I can't figure out where the default setting of 1 is stored even if I do a save to my own map file.
I was thinking if I can't change it there I could atleast edit the default number to use all the time. Hope someone still checking this site cause I love the flexibility of resource management and nice maps but that part is really annoying so I been using Smartmap which does really nice continents without alot of strips of lands.
The map script does not change the generation of plots except with some other settings. This setting is meant to remove the little islands after generation and not define the landmass before generation.
the defaults limits for this setting is between 1 and 7 (1 does nothing, since any landmass has at least an area of 1 tile). i've been able to change this setting without problems in this range.
If you want to change these limits you can edit the script in "def initValueLimits():" around line 15446 :
Code:
limitTerrain["island"] = {
"description" : getSMenuText("TXT_TERRAIN_ISLAND") ,
"porder" : 9 ,
"nbtilesminisland" : {
"porder" : 0 ,
"parent" : "" ,
"limit" : [1,7] ,
"drawfunc" : "Value" ,
"txttag" : "TXT_TERRAIN_NBTILESMIN" ,
"cbfunc" : "Sto_DummyCallback" ,
"tooltip" : ["TXT_TERRAIN_TIP_NBTILESMIN", ""] ,
"listitem" : None ,
"listcomp" : None ,
"nbperline" : None
}
}
Tcho !
