I guess since I've generated over 40,000 maps with the program I can answer a few based off experience:Dianthus said:Can anyone else answer the last 3 queries? I haven't actually used MapFinder, I just wrote the .sav file reading part!
@LulThyme: It's a serious pain, but yes, C3C will eventually hang and not come back up. I don't know if it would work on your computer, but on mine, if I set the load and save timers to 60000 a piece (a full minute) then C3C will run considerably more iterations before crashing. It still crashes, just not as fast. This has been handy when my computer has nothing else to do, say when I'm at work or sleeping. Actually, I rarely run MapFinder if I'm home and awake, but run it religiously when about to leave or go to bed.
@Tim: Have you run it with all the defaults to see what would happen? It would theoretically save every map it generated, unless your domination minimum was too high.
@GingerAle: From your first post, yes, you have to wait for Mapfinder to finish before it'll give you the information in the index. I'm not sure why it wasn't in the index the second time if there were maps. Was the index still open from the first time? Even without the index, the folder should have the 4000bc's and screenshots paired up.
