zip the save file, upload it at dffd

any way to easily share creations? I seem to be poor at best at using this fantastic tool, but it sounds like there are some people making awesome maps.

Any map set you make can be saved as a *.pwset file in the app. They're kinda big, but they might compress well.

Yep, at first I missed that part too. You can save all the brush manipulations in a separate file and save it happily .

Idea for a future update: a reset presents option to go back to the default settings everything is set to.

Actually, you can do that by deleting the PWDF.pwconfig file in your save directory. Everything will go back to how it's set up for the quick start guide. That's the file where the control settings are saved. When you close the program, it will create a new one to save your newest settings.

Oh, cool.

I just posted some screenshots of 5 worlds I generated to give some ideas of what's possible.

This is a absolutely fantastic utility, thank you!

I think if you set the brush settings to 0, it erases. Not 100% sure, though.

@nil... I don't see how "non-square" would work in dwarf fortress... the games core is squares...

........

So this world I genned... I'm looking more at it aka digging deeping. I've gone down... just about 30z's and have yet to hit the cavern. So, I guess we'll see what happens... I'm hoping cavern water replenishes itself.

Truly amazing. Great job!

I only found out yesterday that non-square maps were possible, from this thread actually..

I guess that as long as each map dimension is a power of two plus one, DF can handle it. I should be able to do that after I test the limits on this.

As Bandages mentioned, you can paint any value from 0.0 to 1.0 with the brush.

I still haven't determined what happens beneath the suface with this generator. The first version(0.99) had a bug that prevented it from writing the CAVERN_LAYER_OPENNESS_MAX tag, so make sure you use version 1.0.

This is really what I need for Wasteland mod .

Yeah, at least in 40d you could have any combination you want--I'm looking forward to doing this pre-set justice in a 257x33 map:

Oh yeah, I know, it's just that sometimes I change my mind about whether I want a patch of map to be covered by the paint brush or by the turbulence/static maps.  I know you can just undo things, but sometimes that's kind of cumbersome.

I see what you mean now. Painting zero will destroy the generated portion of the map as well. Noted.
