soooo i got something here....after 1000

so I was doing an advance gen.

first I had to tell it to ignore low elevation tile placement problems

at glacier problems I told it to ignore everything. and so the world after 1001 trys....was  born.

(ummm stupid question here, how do I upload the world file, and image,)

[Argonnek]

To upload a world file, you should zip it up (7zip, WinRAR, or whatever .zip archive program you have will work) and post it on http://dffd.wimbli.com/.

For an image, take a screenshot of the world and upload it to an image hosing site (NOT Photobucket), then get the direct link to the uploaded image and put it inside

I don't really know of any image hosting sites, I have heard of photobukket but don't use it. 

its not that special of a world, (though I did set it for high megabeast pop)and I have not checked legends but there are lots of places that look like good places to settle.

lots of grassy areas sounded by mountains with one way in.

and a necromancers tower....anyone want my world that had 3 of them....close enough together to embark with all three of them as neighbors? (so close on that tower. became a necromancer but the zombies in the tower were still mean! THE WIKI LIESSSSS!) (IT LIES I SAYYYYYY)

Try imgur.com. I don't think you need to register to upload there.

got it!.....I will do that tomorrow. Im going to sleep.....

no really. I am tired,

What's so special about your map?

I wonder if you can create a map which looks like our earth, out of pure luck...
 

[wierd]

Not with pure luck-- the odds would be so astronomically against that it defies reasonable assumption.

But perfect world will work with the latest version. (well, as of a week ago anyway. Need to check again.)  That means that one could use a topographic heightmap of the earth, and DF-erize it.

Might just do that actually.


*EDIT
Just tested perfect world with the absolute latest version. Works fine. Imported a height map for the earth, but the dimensions arent quite right, so there is lots of "not accurate" areas that fill in the extra space. (the earth height map I pulled is 2x wide as it is tall, but perfect world expects perfectly square height maps. this means that there is crap above and below the area supplied by said heightmap.)

Amusingly, DF was able to determine that there should be rivers were the amazon and the nile are IRL. --But biome placement is waaay off, even after I tweaked the latitude temperature cutoff zones. I suspect it has to do with the simplistic rainshadow mechanic at play.

regardless, I generated "the earth" with a supplied heightmap and it worked.

Probably impossible. The maximum integer value for a seed is in the billions while the odds of having each tile match the topography of the Earth is probably around 1 in a quadrillion.

[Orange Wizard]

So, it could happen, but we can safely assume it's not going to?

...

In regards to using Perfect World to make Earth in DF - it's already been done IIRC. For various regions of Earth (i.e., North America, Europe, Oceania) at least.

[utunnels]

Yeah, I'll search the PW thread then.

I've generated a bunch of worlds using the command line method, but none had any resemblance to Earth.

...As someone who has used photobucket for years, please will you fill me on in why I shouldn't use it? I like to know these things. Is it doing something "evil"? I know it's compatable with this site, as people have been able to see the images I've posted so far. So it must be something.... esoteric? Are they selling our images to the Americans or something?

[Max™]

Adspam, putting in bandwidth limits with little warning, screwing with the layout so if you DO have ads blocked you end up with big blank sections forcing the images down into a little squished area of the screen.

Switched to imgur, never looked back.

Switched to imgur, never looked back.

Switch to Imagr Eu - it's even simpler*.

I just have to compliment the Dwarf community.

With most games, when someone posts a relative ambigous topic.. he'll get burnt from here to there.
Here.. people actually try to figure out what someone wants :p

I am curious what the world will be, having a topic here hehe

[endlessblaze]

well as I said last night its not that special but for some reson I just like the looks of it. and I set megabeast high. if any of you get a fortress up long enough......hehehehehh post the first megabast or titan here....no realy. I want to see what I might have to face... do titans and megabeast ever change lairs post-world gen?

I shall now begin to set up the nessary account for the image.
