How's the map coming  Zanzetkuken?

Almost done, just need to add some of the necessary parameters, then test to see if it works.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Here you go.  Put this into your worldgen file in data, and it should work.  I am open to criticism.

I know I said that I would put it up here, but it exceeded 40000 characters.

Where on the map is the Lonely Mountain? Is this map meant to be oriented with north or east at the top?

North is at the top.  I still need to run a test on the map...

[MrWillsauce]

So the huge range to the north is the grey mountains? I can't really make out any other landmarks on the map.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Eastern mountains are the Iron hills, the ones in the forest are the Mirkwood Mountains, north-Grey.  The forest is eastern Mirkwood.  The lonely mountain is east of the northern quarter of Mirkwood.

Well I generated the world. The Iron Hills seem to be nonexistant. There is a huge stretch of desert stretching out from the southeast corner that takes up most of the map which is completely flat. Also could you please post a screenshot of where exactly the Lonely Mountain is? I think I might have found it, but I'm not sure.

[Kamin]

I just wanna track this.

Here is the image.

what I meant was to have smaug's room closed by walls and with only access to it being an up stairs that is closed by a forbidden hatch... the dragon shouldn't be able to exit this way, unless the hatch gets auto-claimed after abandoning... if the hatch stays forbidden, can the adventurer unforbid it in order to enter the room and face smaug?

[MrWillsauce]

Ah, okay that looks much better. I was confused because the worlds I generated all had random bodies of water everywhere and were all over 50% covered in evil biomes, so it was hard to see things. Also the temperature turns most of the area outside of Mirkwood into desert. I guess I'll have to turn down the temperature extremes and the number of evil squares. I'm not sure what to do about the bodies of water though...

Those would be the hard-coded lakes.  I do not like how you cannot change the amount that are put in.

[MrWillsauce]

I've genned several worlds and even when the water isn't in the way the mountain still isn't really serviceable for the project. The ridges are never quite right and I have yet to produce the south-facing valley needed for the front gate.

Can't help you with that.  I cannot determine embark areas.  The rivers are correct at least, right?

[MrWillsauce]

Yeah they're in the right places, but a lot of the time the lakes get in the way of them.
