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.

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

Actually I used the trial version for over 2 months

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?

how can you edit pics with irfanview?

Sep3kP2P · #18 10-01-2001, 06:31 AM

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