SmartMap

[dudeSDCA]

This was my all-time FAVORITE map generator. But looks like it's no longer supported.

It's worked pretty well through ROM 2.7, but I think there were a few hiccups with 3.19 and it putting all the ROM resources on the map.

Anyone up for taking SmartMap and getting it working with ROM 2.8?

here's the link

Thanks!

Did you try RoM_Smartmap script that comes with the mod? It should work.

NICE!!! In my 2.8 haze of excitement, I must have missed it

As usual Zap, YOU ROCK!

One more additional question: When I use smart map, I keep getting placed in the tundra area in the north for advanced start. Changing difficulty doesn't seem to make a difference.

When smartmap goes to place Players, does it start at the poles and move inward? Or was it just a bunch of bad random generations?

should be random, i think you have just been unlucky.

I got put in a tundra area also, but so far only once.

Wasn't there some option for start placement in Smartmap options...

 

[riddleofsteel]

Yes there is. I chose coastal placement and I still get lots of tundra tiles.

Do advanced start, you can change your starting position if you're unhappy with it.
