| Hiya, everyone. I've written a short script to create several random maps so I can easily view them and pick which ones I like. The image size is set relatively small for quicker creation. Once I know which seed number I like I can then re-generate to the real image size I need. Copy the following and save it as a text file with a .bat extension. It needs to be in the folder where you unpacked the Planet program and source code. :: Generate lots of small maps Using the Offline Planet Generator created by Torben Æ. Mogensen :: (This batch file written by CorinaMarie@Simtropolis and is free to the public.) :: :: Note: Height is set to 512 rather than 513 to avoid the top row white band. :: :: The specific parameters are set for my own needs to make maps for SimCity 4. :: Tweak as needed for your own requirements. :: See http://hjemmesider.diku.dk/~torbenm/Planet/Manual.txt for switch parameters. :: :: Adjust the value of MaxMaps for how many you want to generate. Currently set to 100. :: Run time on my comp is 5 minutes, 25 seconds for 100 maps. Tested on Win 7 Pro. @echo off & setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion Set MaxMaps=100 for /L %%a in (1 1 %MaxMaps%) do ( Set /a Seed=!random!*65536+1 Echo !Seed! Planet.Exe -X -pq -s 0.!Seed! -b -m 2.0 -g 22.5 -G 22.5 -C lefebvre2.col -w 513 -h 512 -o !Seed!Lefebvre2.bmp ) |
