You need to make an image(you should probley use gif) as your world map to feed into the levelgen, some of the basic colors/tiles for a basic levelgen map are in the attachment.

To make a world with levelgen, just play around with those colors according to their purpose. Dark red being cliffs I think, blue being water, etc.
You need an image(see attachment as an example), a header name for the levels(ei, "myworld_"), then you need an output folder where the levels will pop out at.

yeah i did all that its just that when i open level generator and type in all the stuff it doesnt do anything heres my map
i know its kinda crappy cause i was just seeing how it worked.

I'm going to go test that image right now to see if it works.
brb in a few....

ok, back!
Very wierd... it did absolutely nothing...I'm going to convert it into gif and see if you have the colors correct.
brb in a few...again

k thx
this should answer some things

I tried it as .gif and it worked just fine.
Here's the gif of it, the colors were correct, accept for some reason it just wouldn't work at all with png

i knew i had the colors right cause i cheked all those. I wonder why it wouldnt do png........
hmm......

Glad I could help.
I used NeoPaint(get it at www.neosoftware.com if you choose) to check your map image.

it cost moneys
ill just stick with paint

Actually I used the trial version for over 2 months :D
It's a pretty good program if you ask me. I use it to make all my Graal images.
You can use the trial version for over 30 days, even though it keeps reminding you over and over again about the 30 day thing.

do you know the exact site for the trial one?

heh...

thx i will try it laterz

damm my leet scripting skillz have failed me! anyone want to script the map so it works?

i use irfanview, www.irfanview.com and paint sometimes photoshop or corel photopaint

how can you edit pics with irfanview?

u cant, but if you save an image frm bmp to gif in paint the colors get lost, irfan view makes it picture-perfect
