You know one day the lot of you is going to kick the shit out of me for all my north woods bragging. :P

Think of the bright side,at least you don't need any ice to keep beer cold:-)

LOL no worries sometimes I feel guilty. The "storm of the season" here is like the base coat in November in a lot of other places! No clue how you do it! It wasn't so much the snow I was worried about as losing power for days and days and da...

We demand pictures!
No, really, I used to have to try to throw snow high enough that it didn't just land back in the 'tunnel' I was building. ;)
Had enough of that, a few feet a year is plenty. :-)

I've tweaked the noise slightly, which makes the continents a bit less snaky and the oceans a bit better too. Incidentally I've also fixed the error in the wrapping so the edges match (unfortunately the vertical edges wrap too but I think I can fix that)
Still needs a bit of work, and probably need to add an extra step to create some more lakes and inland water, and I still need to generate the moisture and rivers.

What do you think? Better?

No plans to do that here. I just feel sympathy for you, because that shit sucks and is awful to deal with.

Not if you are used to it.
And have a tractor.

Hell, we have people checking in today; how bad could it be?

Looks Ok,can you do anything to round it a little bit?

Thanks. Round it in what way? The whole image or the edges of the coast etc.?

The edges need to be refined, the original demo has a function which roughens the edges and makes them look a little more realistic but it wasn't implemented in the version I have so I'll have to do that myself at some point.

Yes,the edges look too sqaurish...

If I had the cash and thought I'd be stuck in really bad weather, that's what I'd do. Find a nice place to stay, hole up for a while and keep warm.

The end result for the edges should look more like [url=http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/game-programming/polygon-map-generation/voronoi-map-goal-smooth.png]this[/url].
I can increase the number of polygons per map but we're already at 20000, which may be too many when it comes to displaying it in 3d (if I still decide to do that, not sure right now) and saving it. Or running any other operations while the map is in memory.
I'll certainly see what I can do though :)

I can see your working with something that is a bit hard to adjust,but my personal opinion for what it's worth is still too many straight lines..

Good day, everyone!

How are you all doing today?

There's probably not too much I can do about that as it's built from polygons which are built from straight lines. It might be possible to draw the lines as curves instead of straight lines but it's probably more difficult (for me) than it's worth.
However if I do go for 3D it might be easier (depending how I do height and water I might be able to hide the lines a bit more), but I'm not sure if I'm going to go 3D or not yet.
I'll keep it in mind though and if I can find a way to break up the straight lines more I will. Thanks :)
Hey ddickinson. I'm fine, how about you?
