This is awesome, and this is legendary! I'm so happy that I have something to contribute to this thread! :P Here's the question: This program goes hand in hand with the worldgen, so to speak. Could it be expanded to civilization also? Could it, with sufficient tinkering, be capable of placing human towns and goblin fortresses on the map? Or goblin towns and human fortresses? What would be its limitations? In hindsight, maybe I should try the actual utility before asking, but still... :D Kudos, regardless! This is ground-breaking progress!

All this program does is already possible in DF, but with much more difficult interface. Here you see everything on tabs with easy-to-read interface and ability to easily paint stuff with a pre-defined brush. So no, no town/civ placement.

This may look like a totally new achievement because peopel were not aware of that functionality or couldn't use it.

This program makes it much easier, also it has some really good smoothing/generation algorythms and is awesome overall. Come on, it's Cephalo's work :).

Quick question/complaint :o

So, I use a netbook with an itty-bitty screen. This makes it so I can't reach some of the options on each screen (for example, I can't press the noise field generator in the elevation tab). Is there any way around this? Because I have found none as is.

Arg. They are supposed to be scrollable, but occasionally they seem to lose that ability when I add new controls etc. Sorry about that, I'll will pay more attention to that in the next build.

It's quite alright, I can still get a lot of use out of the program without them. But being able to scroll would be handy-dandy for the next build :p

If it is just the button you are missing, you might be able to tab down to it blindly.

I found quite a few more bugs today that I fixed for 1.0. I'll try to release that tommorow. One in particular that may be a problem is that the CAVERN_LAYER_OPENESS_MAX tag is not writing. I assume it then stays at some default value, which might mess up your caverns.

I was thinking more along the lines of this legendary champion, all clad in dented and dinged up steel plate, his blood-drenched axe slung over his back, a notch in the handle for every enemy that saw the swing of that blade as the last sight they ever saw, a battered shield strapped over his arm... and a fluffy, pink stuffed hippo hidden discretely in his breastplate.

It gives me a error report: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0,...'
But if does not crush to death.

So, do I have .NET 3.5, or do I not? I'm clueless.

While this IS awsome, when I made a large region with an ocean on the right hand side, when I loaded it into DF the ocean dried up.  And became haunted.  I set the evilness gradient to be in the west, and the ocean was in the east... so that was interesting, to say the least.

I haven't downloaded it yet (I'm on the wrong computer) but will it allow me to cover a world in volcanoes?

That means that you do not have .NET 3.5. I believe you can fix that with Windows Update.

Are you sure about that? Did the ocean get filled in because it was too small? Remember that savagery is not evil. Good/Evil regions are set by a different mechanic.

Yes you can! Actually I think there is a limit of 200.

Ok, 1.0 is posted! Now that I've had some feedback and fixed a few bugs, we've earned the 1.  :)

Cephalo, post that link I posted earlier in the first post.

It lets this program run in linux.
