Title: RPG City Map Generator
Post by: KenHR on March 10, 2008, 02:13:21 PM
Found this link posted at the OD&D boards (http://odd74.proboards76.com/index.cgi):

http://www.drachenzahn.de/city_map_generator/index.html

I haven't downloaded it yet as I'm at work, but the sample map outputs look pretty cool.

Slick little application.  I just downloaded it and installed it (even at work!).

I've finally gotten some time to play with this.  It is pretty slick.  Gotta be careful with settings or you get some wacky results, but this will come in heaps of useful in the coming weeks.

Site's FAQ sez you can export to bitmap.

DOESN'T SAY HOW, THOUGH.

There's an "Export to images" button at the bottom of the map window.

Seems that link doesn't work any longer. Do you know if it is anywhere else?

Try the Wayback Machine (http://web.archive.org/web/20071127062513/http://www.drachenzahn.de/city_map_generator/index.html).  The zip files seem to be there.

I love this thing, but it is really easy for me to achieve "run time error '6' overflow" with it. Anyone else having this problem?

I haven't encountered any errors when using it, but I haven't done many large settlements with it.

I seem to get it often when I change tree diameter and frequency on a city template.

Was futzing with this today, so I messed with those specific parameters...no errors over 40 cities.

Weird.

I'm using the Wild West Town template a lot. That may have something to do with it.

Tried that template specifically, and still nothin'.

Maybe the file I sent you corrupted?  I can try resending.

That is possible. If you wouldn't mind, send it again and I'll see if that fixes things.

Sending again from a different address.

This thread made me want to look into random dungeon generators... so I did a review of six:

Random Dungeon Generators Reviewed (http://inkwellideas.com/?p=130)

Did I miss any that you love?

Damn, that's another great little resource you've given us, SowelBlack.  Thanks; I'd only heard of two of these before.

I've updated the reviews with information on how well the maps of each generator print.  I hope you find it useful!
