Just uploaded a Middle Earth parameter set I made a few months ago on DFFD.

Picture here.

Thanks for the great tool!

Been a while since playing DF and just getting interested again.

Is it possible to load a biome / land-type map into PW?

I can't remember if this is possible. Tried searching and couldn't find any posts about it.

I found this:

Just what I need. Amazing.

This is not possible out of the box, but someone earlier posted an idea of importing maps as altitude maps, and then copying the text output into the other maps like rainfall etc. In your case, it sounds like too much work. You would have to convert that data to grey scale for each map you wanted to alter.

So i happen to be in the process of making a DF map of the Moon, as if it were terraformed. I have the heightmap and everything, but, in the resize, to maintain its aspect ratio, it would be 257 by 129. stretching it out makes it look ugly, so my first though would be to put some filler northern and southern oceans of a sort. However, I feel that would look silly. Has anyone here encountered a similar problem? (If so, what did you do)

Also, once i finish this thing, anyone interested in me uploading it or something?

Hmm, you should be able to import a 257x129 map without stretching if you set the size before you import. Is that not the case?

All my maps are generating a single tile of ocean along the top and right sides. Is there any way I can fix that?

[Japa]

There's a setting somewhere weather a map is an island or not.

That worked; thanks.

Under the Map Parameters tab, under the Map Generation Parameters tab, at the bottom there is a field called Min. Complete Ocean Edges. It was set to 4. I changed it to 0 and now the water bar seems to be gone.

Jeez, I hope I'm not necro'ing this too bad...

I am literally unable to create flux in any world that I create using the perfect world creator, despite whatever settings I use.

I've even gone as far as setting "Percent Below Igneous Extrusive Threshold" to 97%, but I can't get more than a speck of the map to produce flux stone. (Yes, I've used the site finder).

Am I doing something wrong? I've searched the thread, but aside from the volcano "how-to" I can't find anything that really relates to this problem.  If someone could explain what to do, I'd be eternally grateful.

EDIT: Okay, yeah, never mind, fuck me.  I set mineral scarcity to 195 instead of 1950; when you have it set really low, flux becomes nearly non-existent on the map.  That was why I couldn't find any flux.  Disregard this post, sorry for the necro.

Heh, don't worry about the necro. This tool still works. I'll try to have it working for next DF release as well.
